      F       C             E     Am
Jesus high on wine drinking turpentine


(Verse)
Am                    Dm   Am      F        G        Dm
Daddy’s voice like an intercom connected to a hidden room

(Chorus)
Am     F     C               E    Am
It’s a dirty job but they’re very suave

      F       C            E     Dm
Jesus high on wine weeping turpentine

Dm                           Am
What are they doing in there?  Have they got guns?


         F          C        Dm
Make you run up and down the same hill

E                      Am
And they’ll break your will.

Am               Dm          Am   F              G 
Tell nobody that you’ve been here don’t breath a word that’s 

     Dm                  G                   E       Am
been said. Now there’s a scar(whispered)upon your forehead.


(Chorus)
Am     F     C               E    Am
It’s a dirty job but they’re very suave

Jesus high on wine weeping turpentine

Dm                           Am
What are they doing in there?  Have they got guns?

Dm                  Am                      E

         F         C                Dm
There’ll always be something that’s raining
