Magic chords
Capo II * mandolin effect
Bm
I got a Bmcoin in my palm;
I can Dmake it disappear
I got a Bmcard up my sleeve;
name it and I'll Dpull it out your ear
I got a Arabbit in my hat;
if you Bmwanna come and see
DThis is Awhat will Bmbe,
Dthis is Awhat will Bmbe
I got Bmshackles on my wrists;
soon I'll Dslip 'em and I'll be gone
Chain me in a Bmbox in the river;
and I'll Drise singing this song
Trust Anone of what you hear;
and Bmless of what you see
DThis is Awhat will Bmbe,
Dthis is Awhat will Bmbe
 Bm   D   Bm   D   A   Bm(I'll cut you in half)
 D   A   Bm2x
I got a Bmshiny saw blade, (a shiny saw blade)
all I Dneed's a volunteer
BmI'll cut you in half;
while you're Asmiling ear to ear
And the Bmfreedom that you saw;
drifting like a Dghost in both the trees
DThis is Awhat will Bmbe,
Dthis is Awhat will Bmbe
Now there's a Bmfire down below;
but it's Dcoming up here
So leave Bmeverything you know;
carry Donly what you fear
On the road the Asun is sinking low;
there's bodies Bmhanging in the trees
DThis is Awhat will Bmbe,
Dthis is Awhat will Bmbe

Capo II * mandolin effect

I got a coin in my palm;

I can make it disappear

I got a card up my sleeve;

name it and I'll pull it out your ear

I got a rabbit in my hat;

if you wanna come and see

D A Bm

This is what will be,

D A Bm

this is what will be

I got shackles on my wrists;

soon I'll slip 'em and I'll be gone

Chain me in a box in the river;

and I'll rise singing this song

Trust none of what you hear;

and less of what you see

D A Bm

This is what will be,

D A Bm

this is what will be

Bm D Bm D A Bm

(I'll cut you in half)

D A Bm

I got a shiny saw blade, (a shiny saw blade)

all I need's a volunteer

I'll cut you in half;

while you're smiling ear to ear

And the freedom that you saw;

drifting like a ghost in both the trees

D A Bm

This is what will be,

D A Bm

this is what will be

Now there's a fire down below;

but it's coming up here

So leave everything you know;

carry only what you fear

On the road the sun is sinking low;

there's bodies hanging in the trees

D A Bm

This is what will be,
