Cool, cool, bitter and cold	Ebm
The heart is metal and the times are bold
The Ku Klux cross is tall and old
I went to see it	Db
I went to see it	Ebm

A fire in the hearth to warm your hide	Ebm
Winter keeps everyone inside
Mardi Grass' just a carpet ride
But everyone's dirty by Ash Wednesday	Db
Everyone's dirty by Ash Wednesday	Fm

And I hear you hear	Ebm Db
And I hear you hear	Ebm
And I hear you hear	Db
And I hear you hear	Bb7+dim2

You come into this graveyard town	Ebm
Let your good times lay you down
You look around and scratch and cough
For some old bones	Db

Red white blue leaves on the trees	Ebm
Betsy Ross and the devil make three
So light a match, and hold a stone
Until they call you	Db
Until they call you	Fm

Burn your crops with a fire inside	Ebm
Call your mother on the phone and lie
Sun-drenched, talk about it everyday
Blessed with a miracle	Db

The kids were throwin' stones at a bird on the street	Ebm
The birds are just tryin' to make ends meet
So to make ends meet I threw a stone
And kids fell fallin'	Db
And kids fell fallin'	Fm

And I hear you hear	Ebm Db
And I hear you hear	Ebm
And I hear you hear	Db
And I hear you hear	Ebm
And I hear you hear	Gb
And I hear you hear	Db
And I hear you hear	Ebm
And I hear you hear	Db Bb7+dim2
