[Intro]
(One, two, three, four)
G, Bm x2
[Verse]
G Bm
Ah, the sweet song of the bell
G Bm
It's the butcher's curtain call again
G Bm
Does he sleep at night?
G F#m Bm
The hood protects his face from prying eyes
[Chorus]
A
And the swinging man
D
Looks pretty good to me
A
I see he's pissed himself
C Bb D
But now the'll leave us be
[Verse]
G Bm
I thought I heard a distant bark
G Bm
Of the mothers, they're crying in vain again
G Bm
A man stood sick as hell
G F#m Bm
The crowd didn't know his name at all
[Chorus]
A
But the chopping block
D
Looks pretty good to me
A
And the rolling head
C Bb D
Rolls by and feels no pain
(One, two, three, four)
G, Bm x2
[Verse]
G Bm
Ah, the sweet song of the bell
G Bm
It's the butcher's curtain call again

A
And the swinging man

Looks pretty good to me
