Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Good Son: chords

Chorus:
G
One more man gone
One more man gone
          Am
One more man
One more man gone
One more man gone
One more man
One more man gone
One more man gone
One more man is gone

Em
The good son walks into the field
He is a tiller, he has a tiller's hands
But deep down in his heart now
He's laid down his queer plans
Against his brother and against his family
Yet he worships his brother
And he worships his mother
But it's his father, he says, is an unfair man
    Am
The good son
    Em
The good son
    Am
The good son

The good son has sat and often wept
Beneath a malign star by which the good son's kept
And the night-time in which he's wrapped
Speaks of good now, and it speaks of evil
And he calls to his mother
And he calls to his father
But they are deaf in the shadows
Of his brother's truancy
The good son
The good son
The good son
The good son
And he curses his mother
And he curses his father
And he curses his virtue like an unclean thing
The good son
The good son
The good son

Chorus:
G
One more man gone
One more man gone
          Am
One more man, yeah
One more man gone (is gone)
One more man gone (is gone)
One more man (is gone)
One more man gone (is gone)
One more man gone (one more man is gone)
One more man
One more man gone
One more man gone
One more man is gone
One more man gone
One more man gone
One more man is gone, yeah, yeah
One more man gone
One more man gone
One more man gone

The good son (one more man gone)
The good son (one more man gone)
The good son now is gone (one more man)
The good son (one more man gone)
The good son (one more man gone)
The good son now is gone (one more man)
One more man gone
One more man gone (one more man)
The good son
The good son
The good son
The good son
