This really easy to play - it consists of only two chords:

B ---6--- B ---5---| Rhythm = Straight up and down

G ---7--- G ---6---| strum, emphasizing

D ---7--- D ---7---| first of every four

A ---5--- A ---7---| downstrokes

E ---5--- E ---5---| 3 measures Dm

3 measures A

1 measure Dm

Now you make the scene all day - Chorus

Intro Dm A

Chorus x2

People listen attentively

I mean about future calamity[A]

I used to think the idea was obsolete

Until I heard the old man stamping his [Dm]feet

Chorus

Instrumental

This is a [Dm]place where eternally

Fire is applied to the body[A]

Teeth are extruded and bones are ground

Then baked into cakes which are passed around[Dm]

Chorus

Instrumental

[Dm]Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement

Top skill and [A]brain

But all the things you try to hide

Will be revealed on the [Dm]other side.

Chorus

Instrumental

[Dm]Now the D and the A and the M and the N

and the A and the T and the [A]I-O-N x2

Lose your face, lose your name

Then get fitted for a [Dm]suit of flame

Outro
