Am Bb/C - C7 Fdim C
Snow. Ce - ment and ivory young towers.
F/A Em/B C G#dim Am F G/D /D-/E

Someone called us Babylon - those hungry hunters tracking down the hours.
G/F /G-/A Eb/Bb Bb
But where were all your shoulders when we cried?
Fm/Ab G7 Cm
Were the darlings on the sideline dreaming up such cherished lies -
F/A | Bb Cm7 | Bb/D Cm7 - Bb |
to whisper in your ear before you die?


CHORUS:
Eb Eb7 Ab Bb
It's party time for the guys in the tower of Babel.
Cm Ab Eb/Bb Bb7sus - Bb7
Sodom meet Gomorrah. Cain meet A - bel.
Fm Cm Ab G Cm
Have a ball y'all. See the letches crawl with the call girls under the table.
Ab
Watch them dig their graves -
Eb/Bb Bb Cm
'Cause Jesus don't save the guys in the tower of Babel.
Ab Eb/Bb
Watch them dig their graves -
Bb Fm Eb
'Cause Jesus don't save the guys in the tower of Babel. No. No. No.

Am Bb/C - C7 Fdim C
Junk. An - gel. This closet's always stacked.
F/A Em/B C G#dim Am F G/D /D-/E
Dealers in the basement filling your prescrip. for a brand new heart attack.
G/F /G-/A | Eb/Bb Bb
But where were all your shoulders when we cried?
Fm/Ab G7 Cm
Were the doctors in attendance saying how they felt so sick inside?
F/A | Bb Cm7 | Bb/D Cm7 - Bb |
Or was it just the scalpel blade that lied?


{Repeat Chorus twice}
