Woodbox Gang – Let Em Break Your Bones (Guitar)

Band: Woodbox Gang Album: Born With A Tail VERSE 1

  G                                             Am
I got these crazy dreams just don't know what they mean

                   C      D                      G
Sometimes I dream so loud it wakes up dead folks underground

G                                  Am
Hatches baby birds and shakes em on down 

                 C            D
Makes the weeping willow trees cry themselves brown

CHORUS

G
Let 'em break your bones

                       Am
Don't let 'em take your soul

                           C
Fill your heart up let it explode 

D
Don't let it turn cold

VERSE 2 The only things that I recall as a witness to the slaughter Was the muddy and bloody water and the farmer's youngest daughter Covered in blood and feathers playing with a dead rabbit She smiled like a centerfold reached out saying “come and get it” VERSE 3 I found a dying angel after the mutiny in heaven When I asked her what happened she said “look up there and you can see them” I saw white wings torn off and caught in the razor wire They did their best to bust out but they couldn't get any higher VERSE 4 A clown tattooed vomit on his chin teardrops on his cheeks He painted nails on his hands and he nailed hooves to his feet His dying words were befriend a man who can settle for less But beware the poor creature who will kill for the best VERSE 5 He pissed tulips she bled a rose I cried stinging nettle We were all at ground zero waiting for the dust to settle She said “I'm a morning glory won't you open me slowly” He said “I'm a dandelion come over here and blow me” VERSE 6 She was standing in her darkened doorway wearing nothing but a Cuban guitar Her leather strap wrapped over her shoulder she was sucking an electric cigar She said “Why are you so quiet if you don't believe in silence?” I cried “Why is my nose broken if you don't believe in violence?”
