G/D/C D/G
VERSE 1:
G
Stuck on limbo bridge
D
Where below me ol' Nick grins
C G
Then laughs through the chaos of it all
G
Gets up off his chair
D
Spins a jig to my despair
C D G
He can't wait to count the times where I went wrong
G
Underneath the bush
D
Lay a begger out of luck
C G
On his lips was a taste he forgets
G
His hopes are filled with sand
D
That he watched fall through his hand
C D G
Every grain was a lifetime of regret
CHORUS:
D G
So go and bow your head and weep
C D G
For your world won't change while you sleep

Yeah, go and bow your head and weep

For the summer that was lost, now is gone

Yeah, the summer that was lost, now is gone

Fertile Mrs. Moore

Had thirteen kids but still looked good

Til' her ol' man jumped leave on a ship

She never read a book

But by Christ she understood

That the meanin' of life starts in bed

Killer Kilbain

Beat me senseless everyday

I hope that bastard is beneath a head of stone

Where I'll dance upon his grave

For all the madness I now crave
C D G
While the scars that remain are still a curse

Stuck on limbo bridge

Where below me ol' Nick grins
