Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues: chords

F                                 G
The sun is high up in the sky and Im in my car
F                 G
Drifting down into the abattoir
Am
Do you see what I see dear?
F                       G
The air grows heavy. I listen to your breath
F                          G
Entwined together in this culture of death
        Am
Do you see what I see dear?
F                          G
Slide on over here let me give you a squeeze
F                              G
To avert this unholy evolutionary trajectory
         Am
Can you hear what I hear babe?
F                       Am   F
Does it make you feel afraid?

Chorus:
Dm
Everythings dissolving babe according to plan
The sky is on fire the dead
are heaped across the land
I went to bed last night and
my moral code got jammed
I woke up this morning with
a Frappucino in my hand

Kissed you once, kissed you again
My heart it tumbled like the stock exchange
Do you feel what I feel, dear?
Mass extinction, darling, hypocrisy
These things are not good for me
Do you see what I see, dear?
The line the God throws down to you and me
Makes a pleasing geometry
Shall we leave this place now, dear?
Is there someway out of here?

Chorus:
I wake with the sparrows and
I hurry off to work
The need for validation, babe,
gone completely berserk
I wanted to be your Superman but
I turned out such a jerk

          Am            F
I got the abattoir blues
          Am            F
I got the abattoir blues
          Am           F
I got the abattoir blues
                     F
Right down to my shoes
F          G
abattoir blues
F          G
