The Devil Makes Three – Sweeping (Guitar)

E
Red carpet crying baby blue

Am                        E E7
Nothing that crosses your lips is true

E                Am               B
You'll be philosophizing, or criticizing

                      E    E7
Until your face turns blue

E                                Am
And while you're sitting in your ivory tower high

          B                             E E7
All those diggers in those ditches just wither and die

E                            Am
Drinking off all those sweet tears that you cry

           B                         E    E7
'Cause you know it's getting so damn dry outside

E                                     Am
While you're sitting inside with your feet up by the fire

         C                     B                          E
We'll be sweeping, ah we'll be sweeping the steps of your empire

              Am                    C       B
Yeah we'll be sweeping, ah we'll be sweeping

                  E
The steps of your empire

E                                 Am
Think about your hands how they'll never hammer nails

               B                                 E    E7
And how you'll never spend the night inside that hard cold jail

E                                       Am
How you'll never feel the falling of the rain or the hail

     B                      E7
Your skin will forever grow so pale

E                           Am
And it ain't like there's a master or a slave

        B                             E E7
No there isn't any way that you could ever behave

           E                            Am
Ain't like you're going to recognize on some beautiful day

    B                            E     E7
Now you just got to pay all them debts that you made

E                                    Am
While you're sitting inside thinking who started the fire

         C                     B                          E
We'll be sweeping, ah we'll be sweeping the steps of your empire

              Am                    C   B
Yeah we'll be sweeping, ah we'll be sweeping

         C                     B                          E
We'll be sweeping, ah we'll be sweeping the steps of your empire

              Am                    C   B        E
Yeah we'll be sweeping, ah we'll be sweeping
