Verse 1
Dm The tempest blows up from a squall C Past the Cape of Bad Conscience F Into the Gulf of the Cauldron Bb F Gm Roars over the coastline to batter and flatten C F Exposing the roots like the dyed hair of slattern
Verse 2
Dm Scrapper and mauler in a rope ring this small C F Outside the wind is punching Bb There's no one left to hear it F Gm No one hears the bell ring C Except the one who comes to fear it F And they continue to brawl
Chorus
Cm D7 He's buying his way into heaven I suppose Gm Fm He weeps at the blows Cm D7 But down in a location that we cannot disclose Gm Fm He turns the dial slowly Bb Eb Through the Stations of the Cross
Bridge
Cm F Crowd done up dandy Bb Eb In diamonds and finery Cm F Baying and howling Bb Eb All bloodlusty calling Cm F Fists like pistons Bb Eb Faces like meat spoiling Cm F Bb Eb Haul, boys, haul, bully-boys haul
Verse 3
Dm Later that evening Molly and her gunman C F Go down the stairs to a dive like a dungeon Bb F Gm Meanwhile in the backroom there's a girl like a sponge C F Saying, "Bring him in long as a constable's truncheon" Dm The gunman wants Molly to kingdom come C F Then blows them all to the hereafter Bb F Gm Who's scuttling away now and hidden from our view? C F Who tightened the tourniquet, turning her blue?
Chorus
Cm D7 He's buying his way into heaven I suppose Gm Fm He weeps at the blows Cm D7 But down in a location that we cannot disclose Gm Fm He turns the dial slowly Bb Eb Through the Stations of the Cross
Bridge
Cm F The gale of hale laughter Bb Eb Scales up the ivory Cm F Bb Eb The black keys of her fine whine descend into the minor Cm F Die away breathless Bb Eb Diminishing behind her Cm F Bb Eb Haul boys haul, bully-boys haul
Verse 4
Dm The water came up to the eaves C F You'd think someone had opened a valve Bb F Gm It's too soon to stay now and too late to leave C F So spare your remorse all the way up to Calvary
Chorus
Cm D7 He's buying his way into heaven I suppose Gm Fm He weeps at the blows Cm D7 But down in a location that we cannot disclose Gm Fm He turns the dial slowly Bb Eb Through the Stations of the Cross
