Tuning: Standard
Chords:
Am F C E Dm
#Verse: basically  Amthroughout every verse, with an exception in verse 3
  AmI have seen you in the Turkish baths
  Nakedness has a sweet, sweet smell
  Which sends me down to the pits of hell
  The steam, that rises form the water
  Tells me you're satan's daughter
  If I am the devil's son
  Then into the darkness we should run
#Chorus:
FIf sodomy is Cnot just for animals
EHuman flesh, is Amnot just for cannibals
I'll Ffeast on your body if you'll Cfeast on mine
'Cause Eblood is thicker, and Amredder than wine
Oh, Flay ourselves out, uCpon the table
ERavish each other 'till we're Amno longer able
FWhen juices mix in the Cheat of the fray
      E-------(let ring)--------
It'll make a formidable marinade
  AmIf I put my hand in Pandora's box
  And I was smitten by a deathly pox
  If I was a leper or the warts on a toe
  Would you think well of me, when I go
  If I wrote my name with a razorblade
  In the palm of your hand, would it still fade?
  If I kissed your lips would you think it wrong
  Or would you come along with me
If sodomy is not just for animals
Human flesh, is not just for cannibals
I'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine
'Cause blood is thicker, and redder than wine
Oh, lay ourselves out, upon the table
Ravish each other 'till we're no longer able
When juices mix in the heat of the fray
It'll make a formidable marinade
  AmI'll roast you on the spit like a fatted calf
  When you're done I'll split your body in half
  Climb into your redenned core
  Curl up tight, and close the door
  DmIn your body I'll dream of things
  Like geese and mustard
  Cabbages and kings
  Am<
  Thermos full of chocolate sauce
  And men who live on only remorse
If sodomy is not just for animals
Human flesh, is not just for cannibals
I'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine
'Cause blood is thicker, and redder than wine
Oh, lay ourselves out, upon the table
Ravish each other 'till we're no longer able
When juices mix in the heat of the fray
It'll make a formidable marinade
sounds nicely with a walking bass line

A formidable marinade

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard

Chords:

Am F C E Dm

#Verse: basically throughout every verse, with an exception in verse 3

I have seen you in the Turkish baths

Nakedness has a sweet, sweet smell

Which sends me down to the pits of hell

The steam, that rises form the water

Tells me you're satan's daughter

If I am the devil's son

Then into the darkness we should run

#Chorus:

F C

If sodomy is not just for animals

E Am

Human flesh, is not just for cannibals

F C

I'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine

E Am

'Cause blood is thicker, and redder than wine

F C

Oh, lay ourselves out, upon the table

E Am

Ravish each other 'till we're no longer able

F C

When juices mix in the heat of the fray

-------(let ring)--------

It'll make a formidable marinade

If I put my hand in Pandora's box

And I was smitten by a deathly pox

If I was a leper or the warts on a toe

Would you think well of me, when I go

If I wrote my name with a razorblade

In the palm of your hand, would it still fade?

If I kissed your lips would you think it wrong

Or would you come along with me

If sodomy is not just for animals

Human flesh, is not just for cannibals

I'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine

'Cause blood is thicker, and redder than wine

Oh, lay ourselves out, upon the table

Ravish each other 'till we're no longer able

When juices mix in the heat of the fray

It'll make a formidable marinade

I'll roast you on the spit like a fatted calf

When you're done I'll split your body in half

Climb into your redenned core

Curl up tight, and close the door

In your body I'll dream of things

Like geese and mustard

Cabbages and kings

Thermos full of chocolate sauce

And men who live on only remorse

If sodomy is not just for animals

Human flesh, is not just for cannibals

I'll feast on your body if you'll feast on mine

'Cause blood is thicker, and redder than wine

Oh, lay ourselves out, upon the table

Ravish each other 'till we're no longer able

When juices mix in the heat of the fray

It'll make a formidable marinade
