Tonart: F minor
Verse 1
Fm
I went out walking the other day
The heat hung wet around my neck
My head it rung with screams and groans
From the night I spent amongst
her bones
And I passed beside
the mission house
Where that mad old buzzard,
the reverend
Shrieked and flapped about
life after you're dead
Well, I thought about my friend,
Michel
How they rolled him in linoleum
And they shot him in the neck
A bloody halo, like a think-bubble
Circling Circling his head
And I bellowed at the firmament
C
Looks like the rains are hear to stay
And the rain pissed down upon me
And washed me all away

Papa won't leave you, Henry

Oh yeah, I went on down the road
He went on down the road
Verse 4
Fm
F
Well, the moon it looked exhausted
Fm
Like something you should pity
Spent an age-spotted
Above Above the sizzling wires
of the city
Well, it reminded me of her face
Her bleached and hungry eyes
Her hair was like a curtain
Falling open with the laughter
And closing with the lies
And the ghost of her still
lingers on
Though she's passed through me
F
Fm
And is gone
F
Fm
Well the slum dogs, they are barking
The rain children on the streets
And the tears that we will weep today
C
Will all be washed away
By the tears that we will weep
Fm
Will weep again tomorrow

Verse 7
Fm
And I came upon a little house
Fsus4
Fm
A little house upon a hill
And I entered through,
and the curtain hissed
F
Into the house with its
bowels
Where wet-lipped women women
with greasy fists
F
Fm
Crawled the ceilings and the walls
They filled me full of drink
And they led me round the rooms
Naked and cold and grinning
Until everything went black
Db
Fm
And I came down spinning
I awoke so drunk and full of rage
That I could hardly speak
A fag in a whale-bone corset
corset
Draping his dick across my cheek
Well its into the shame
Fm
And its into the fucking
C
Fm
C
fray
And the walls ran red around me
A warm arterial spray

Papa won't leave you, Henry

Well, the night is dark
And the night is deep
And its jaws are open wide

So there ain't no need to cry

It's the rainy season where I'm living
Death comes leaping out
of every doorway
F
Fm
Wasting you for money, for your clothes
Fm
Entire towns being washed away
F
Favelas exploding on inflammable
spillways
Fm
Lynch-mobs, death death squads,
babies being born without brains
The mad heat and the relentless rains
Well if you stick your arm into that hole
It comes out shit up to the bone
F
And with her kisses bubbling on my lips
Fm
