Pet Politics

Silver Jews cover

tab by Dan  dtrom4 at aol dot com

Em C
Guard my bed while the rain turns the ditches to mirrors
B
buy a vase of carnations from central Ohio
Em
where the looking machine can't hear us

Em
Deep in the night we dream of positions
C
there's a line for the phone in the hall
B
and in the cold places where Spanish is spoken
Em
most wars end in the fall
C Em F#m Em
You never know where your pet will go
G D G D G D Em
pet politics

Em
Still wearing last nights' mascara
C
now that her pet was gone for sure
B
she was shivering so hard Em
it looked like there were two of her

Em
I could see through the sleeve of her blouse
C
the plans of her architect lover
B
a tattoo of a boarded-up house
Em
and ink door that belonged to another
C Em F#m Em
When the rain hits you it hits you slow
G D G D G D Em
stitch after stitch

Adam was not the first man 'though the Bible tells us so
There was one created before him, whose name we do not know
He also lived in the garden
but he had no mouth or eyes
One day Adam came to kill him
and he died beneath these skies

I find it so amazing how
I go where I'm led (x2)

C Em F#m Em
I suspect we could be losing now
G D G D G D Em
please guard my bed (x3)
