AmMy love your heart beats like a magusDm  
Only a beat Glike that could save us
And I do mean save us allAm  
The eyes of many are upon usDm  
And assassins Gmove among us
So be wary on your wayAm  
Because men cDman be animalsAm  
DmCut-throats and jagged wolvesAm

Keep your wits about you and you'll see another day
AmWe'll drink brandy when they're gone nowDm  
Dancing to our Gold time songs now
Don't forget the good old daysAm  
Where have the flowers gone now ?Dm  
Gone to young girls everyone nowG  
That's the price we'll have to payAm  
Because men cDman be animalsAm
