Capo II * mandolin effect
Bm
Bm
I got a coin in my palm;
D
I can make it disappear
Bm
I got a card up my sleeve;
D
name it and I'll pull it out your ear
A
I got a rabbit in my hat;
Bm
if you wanna come and see
D A Bm
This is what will be,
D A Bm
this is what will be
Bm
I got shackles on my wrists;
D
soon I'll slip 'em and I'll be gone
Bm
Chain me in a box in the river;
D
and I'll rise singing this song
A
Trust none of what you hear;
Bm
and less of what you see
D A Bm
This is what will be,
D A Bm
this is what will be
BmDBmDABm
(I'll cut you in half)

Bm
I got a shiny saw blade, (a shiny saw blade)
D
all I need's a volunteer
Bm
I'll cut you in half;
A
while you're smiling ear to ear
Bm
And the freedom that you saw;
D
drifting like a ghost in both the trees
D A Bm
This is what will be,
D A Bm
this is what will be
Bm
Now there's a fire down below;
D
but it's coming up here
Bm
So leave everything you know;
D
carry only what you fear
A
On the road the sun is sinking low;
Bm
there's bodies hanging in the trees
D A Bm
This is what will be,
D A Bm
this is what will be
