Soul Asylum – Waiting On The Lord (Guitar)

A               Asus2   Em9            A
The Lord of the savages made himself a pact

A             Asus2     Em9               A
He was always right and no one could talk back

A               Asus2
Made up all the rules

Em9              A
Wrote em down on paper

A               Asus2          Em9            A
Formed himself an army to make all the people safer

        E                Asus2
But the people could not read the rules

       Dsus2      Asus2
'Cause nobody can read

    E             Asus2
The people wanted pleasure

       Dsus2        D
So all they did was breed

Dsus2                  A
People just want to be good

        Dsus2        A
All the savages need food

      Dsus2           A
And a roof over their head

         Dsus2       A
They get confusion instead

        Dsus2        A
And when savages get bored

        Dsus2        D            A
They get tired of waiting for the Lord

A               Asus2   Em9             A
The Lord of the savages built himself a castle

                  Asus2
Looked out of the window

         Em9              A
Wondered what was all the hassle

              Asus2       Em9             A
Everyone’s complaining, today I'm feeling fine

                     Asus2
I'll make everything fine

        Em9                 A
Or I’ll give all the people wine

        E                Asus2
And the people, they got drunk

        Dsus2            Asus2
And the problem with the drink

     E                Asus2
They make some people violent

      Dsus2        D
Makes other people think

        Dsus2     A
And the savages divided

          Dsus2      A
One thing had been decided

            Dsus2     A
Things were not quite fair

        Dsus2        A
Left to wallow in despair

         Dsus2            A
And when people, they get bored

         Dsus2    D               A
They get tired of waiting for the Lord

A               Asus2   Em9                  A
The Lord of the savages said there should be peace

A                    Asus2
Couldn't control the people

Em9                  A
So he brought in the police

A                Asus2
This is all they needed

Em9             A
Someone else to hate them

A               Asus2
They burned the castle down

         Em9               A
And they called the Lord a traitor

           E       Asus2
Fixing Molotov cocktails

            Dsus2    Asus2
And burning down the street

        E              Asus2
Running screaming everywhere

        Dsus2   D
Chasing out the heat

          E              Asus2
They were singing in the attic

            Dsus2 Asus2
Outside the side--show

         E      Asus2  Dsus2 D
Swimming in the static on my radio

Dsus2                      A
They were kicking down the doors

    Dsus2           A
And ripping out the floors

          Dsus2               A
Blood was dripping from their pores

       Dsus2        A
Like a tinderbox on fire

        Dsus2         A
One day he will stand trial

         Dsus2     A
He's the Lord of denial

       Dsus2          A
When denial shuts its door

        Dsus2    D               A
It gets tired of waiting for the Lord
