Tuning: Standard


Chords:
Am F C E Dm

#Verse: basically Am throughout every verse, with an exception in verse 3

  Am
  I have seen you in the Turkish baths
  I didn't know if I should cry or laugh
  Nakedness has a sweet, sweet smell
  Which sends me down to the pits of hell
  The steam, that rises form the water
  Tells me you're satan's daughter
  If I am the devil's son
  Then into the darkness we should run

#Chorus:

F            C
If sodomy is not just for animals
E               Am
Human flesh, is not just for cannibals
     F                            C
I'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine
       E                     Am
'Cause blood is thicker, and redder than wine
    F                   C
Oh, lay ourselves out, upon the table
E                             Am
Ravish each other 'till we're no longer able
F                      C
When juices mix in the heat of the fray
      E-------(let ring)--------
It'll make a formidable marinade

  Am
  If I put my hand in Pandora's box
  And I was smitten by a deathly pox
  If I was a leper or the warts on a toe
  Would you think well of me, when I go
  If I wrote my name with a razorblade
  In the palm of your hand, would it still fade?
  If I kissed your lips would you think it wrong
  Or would you come along with me
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/amanda_palmer/a_formidable_marinade_crd.html ]
If sodomy is not just for animals
Human flesh, is not just for cannibals
I'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine
'Cause blood is thicker, and redder than wine
Oh, lay ourselves out, upon the table
Ravish each other 'till we're no longer able
When juices mix in the heat of the fray
It'll make a formidable marinade

  Am
  I'll roast you on the spit like a fatted calf
  When you're done I'll split your body in half
  Climb into your redenned core
  Curl up tight, and close the door
  Dm
  In your body I'll dream of things
  Like geese and mustard
  Cabbages and kings
  Am<
  Thermos full of chocolate sauce
  And men who live on only remorse

If sodomy is not just for animals
Human flesh, is not just for cannibals
I'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine
'Cause blood is thicker, and redder than wine
Oh, lay ourselves out, upon the table
Ravish each other 'till we're no longer able
When juices mix in the heat of the fray
It'll make a formidable marinade
