Rodriguez – Cause (Guitar)

        E          A                          E  A      
Cause I lost my job two weeks before Christmas

      E                            A    
And I talked to Jesus at the sewer

                                         E               A
And the Pope said it was none of his God-damned business  

          E                   A
While the rain drank champagne

                                   E            A 
My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted

          E                       A                       E      A
Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got is the one I've never tasted

                   E            A  G#m          B             
Oh but they'll take their bonus pay  to Molly McDonald,

E           A                           G#m             B
 Neon ladies, beauty is that which obeys,  is bought or borrowed

         E                              A          E     A
Cause my heart's become a crooked hotel  full of rumours 

         E                  A                               E      A
But it's I who pays the rent for these fingered-face out-of-tuners

           E                             A      E       A             
And I make 16 solid half hour friendships every evening

           E                                 
Cause your queen of hearts who is half a stone

                    A                                   E       A
And likes to laugh alone is always threatening you with leaving

                E            A    G#m                  B        
Oh but they play those token games    on Willy Thompson

E                                  A G#m                  B  
 And give a medal to replace the son    of Mrs. Annie Johnson

           E                                         A
Cause they told me everybody's got to pay their dues

                                    E      A  
And I explained that I had overpaid them

       E                                A
So overdued I went to the company store

                                           E             A
and the clerk there said that they had just been invaded

     E                     A                            E     A
So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill

          E                   A             E           A 
Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still

        E                                       A
Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun

                       E     A
In weekends of whiskey sours

           E                                           A       E           A
Cause how many times can you wake up in this comic book and plant flowers?
