Same four chords for the entire song. Listen to the song for the rhythm, i like to pluck
each chord before strumming but I'm not sure thats how Mark does it.
Dm, A, B, Dm  
                  (Dm)        (A)
And I piss my money away every night
(B)                   (Dm)
Trolling for women and looking for fights
            (Dm)                       (A)
Believe your burning into lungs full of smoke
(B)                  (Dm)
My dancing shoes are tripping on my soul
           (Dm)              (A)
And I said heads are going to roll
(B)              (Dm)
Heads are going to roll
   (Dm)              (A)
And heads are going to roll
(B)              (Dm)
Heads are going roll
And I piss my time away every day
1 9 to 5 aren't those sins in my grave
Well at least when I'm dead I will be able to rest
Unless I'm another unwanted guest
So John what will they say
When I stand on judgment day?
He said "You best bring fire and you best bring rain
Heaven knows you ain't no Saint"
And heads are going to roll
Heads are going to roll
And heads are going to roll
Heads are going roll
And my thoughts they weight on my worrying mind
Oooo my legs they shake but in rhythm and time
And they sound off like drums for my execution
The mob they shout and there is no place left to run
And heads are going to roll
Heads are going to roll
And heads are going to roll
Heads are going to roll
In my faith has long since escaped
And my hope dug a tunnel right under the gate
Now I'm left with fate to a wishing well
Will it be heaven or will it be hell
So John what will they say
When I stand on judgement day?
He said "You best bring fire and you best bring rain
Heaven knows you ain't no saint"
So John what will they say
When I stand on judgement day?
He said "You best bring fire and you best bring rain
Heaven knows you ain't no saint"
