The Growlers - Ol' Rat Face
[Verse 1]
 BmSome call him Rat Face, F#human hands and starburst eyes
 BmUnloved and thrown away F#to the unforgiving night
 BmAnd when the moon is bright F#as dawn the chase is on
[Chorus]
 GHe never Bmhad a decent Gchance
GThieving Alike it’s his birth Bmright
[Verse 2]
 BmSome can’t be trusted, F#never open up to them
 BmOr become the hunted, F#each one sees men as gems
 BmAnd when the moon is bright as F#dawn the chase is on
[Chorus]
 GHe never Bmhad a decent Gchance
GThieving Alike it’s his birth Emright
[Interlude]
