David Francey - Pretty Jackals
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:  G  
And the pretty jackals Csmell the Gblood
Revel in the fire and Dflood
GDrag us face down Cthrough the Gmud
DTragedy as Gshow
Grin the words that Cmight be Gtrue
Grim the unrelenting Dview
GBalance gone and the Cworld aGskew
DStaggered by the Gblows
CHORUS:
And he Dloved the poor and he Chealed the Glame
And they Dcrucified him Call the Gsame
DWashed their hands of Call the Gblame
And got Cset to Gcast a Dstone
A Gbright and sharp deCliveGry
A smile through all the Dmisery
GNews as black as Cblack can Gbe
In Dshort repeated Gshocks
INSTRUMENTAL:    G    C     G    D     G    C    G    D    G(2x)
CHORUS:
And he Dloved the poor and he Chealed the Glame
And they Dcrucified him Call the Gsame
DWashed their hands of Call the Gblame
And got Cset to Gcast a Dstone
The GTV in the Chotel Groom
Blue light in the borrowed Dgloom
GEntertained enCsconced enGtombed
With a Dpretty face that Gtalks
And the pretty jackals Csmell the Gblood
Revel in the fire and Dflood
GDrag us face down Cthrough the Gmud
DTragedy as Gshow
OUTRO:    G    C     G    D     G    C    G    D  G
