Chords

Tabbed by 5ason This song is extremely easy, though it is still Great and a fun thing to sit around and play mindlessly. Fist, tune your guitar a full step down (D G C F A d). This is the case with most Voltaire songs, though! The only chords you need to know are Em and Am, there is an optional A7 in there, though it still sounds great without it. If on occasion you want to add a bit of flavor, plucking each of the three bottom strings from the bottom up gives a nice touch.
Em                                   Am
Three heavy stones will keep it from floating,

         Em          Am
weigh it down to the bottom, food for the fishes.

Em              Am          Em
And I know that it won't be discovered

                 Am
'cause I will be careful, so very careful.

Em                 Am                    Em
What if it doesn't rain for days and the river is
STOP HAMMERING
               Am
reduced to its muddy bed?

       Em                     Am
With a corpse exposed I would work in haste

   Em                   Am
and... I might bury the bones in a shallow grave.

                       A7 or Am
And the rain comes and moves rocks and the stones

A7 or Am
washes away all the dirt and the mudflows

A7 or Am
Bones are exposed and well.

A7 or Am
you know how that goes!

Em
I wait for the day when I'll finally defile

    Am
the bodies of my ex lover's lovers.

Em
I'll pile high to the sky

    Am
the bodies of my ex lover's lovers

Em
Die, die, die diddle die,

Am
die diddle die, diddle die,

           Em
watch them die.

Am         Em
watch them die.

die diddle die, diddle die,

watch them die.

Am         Em
watch them die.

All of that can change! 'cause, I am so lonely,

What if I were to cut you up and mail each part

     Am                       Em
to a different town? It would take the most

          Am              Am or A7
brilliant private eye the rest of his life

That will never change, because I know myself

                         Em
