Curses

	  		
verse 1 
D             C                  Em 
Curses I send on these countless men 
D                              C               A 
Curses on their trespasses and will they never end? 
D               C              G              D 
Curses on their blades, on the spare and open lanes 
D                            C      Em 
Once I've been searching for recipe acclaim (?) 

verse 2 
D                        C           Em 
Curses on their children running all around 
D                                C              A 
Making such a business while I'm resting in the ground 
D                  C         G                    D          
I might rise up to meet them when they leave this life 
D                           C                    Em 
I might rise up to eat them when they leave this life 

verse 3 
D                             C           Em 
Curses on this valley and the lands on up ahead 
D                            C                  A 
I was on my way to meet them when they found me dead 
D                        C           G                 D 
And I clapped my brittle hands and I made them join my game 
D                              C             Em 
Now I hope they all decease in merriment and shame 

verse 4 
D                       C                Em 
Curse every word that's planted on their lips 
D                                  C            A 
Curse the sleek machines and their iron-colored ships 
D           C         G                   D 
Curse every wave that pounds their wicked shore 
D                    C                 Em 
Curse every salesman knocking on their door 

Verse 5 
D                           C          Em 
And I am not a creature and I am not a dog 
D                       C                  Em 
I have no claim to be there in the evening fog 
D              C            G           D 
And I am not a bone staring through the air 
D                             C                Em 
I have no say in anything, my tongue is barely there 

Verse 6 
D                   C            Em 
Curses on curses, I see no other way 
D                            C                A 
Some of them are weeping and some of them are gay 
D                 C              G             D 
Some of them have wounds so deep, they feel no pain 
D                           C               Em 
Curses on their fingers and curses on their brain
