B 
A broken heart be lovely 
E             B 
Broken on the ground 
B 
A knife stuck in the ribs of me 
    C#             E 
Would be better be found 
B 
Hanging tree blowing gently 
E 
A noose would be ignored 
        B     B/A#     B/G#     B/F# 
Then to stand upon the receiving end 
      E                 B 
Of the right hand of the Lord 


F#             C# 
Like a thirsty cowboy 
     E                    B 
In a lake his tongue does rest 
F#             C# 
Jumps in and he cannot swim 
    E 
And drowns himself to death 
F#         C# 
Or a frozen mountaineer 
  E 
He chugs up to a stop 
 B          B/A#     B/G#    B/F# 
Catching his boot heel in a rock 
E 
Two miles from the top 

B   E 

F#              C# 
An Olympic super swimmer 
     E              B 
Whose belly doesn't flop 
  F#           C#             
A super racecar driver 
     E                B 
Whose pit, it can't be stopped 
  F#            C# 
A honey dripping hipster 
    E 
Whose bee cannot be bopped 
B      B/A#   B/G#     B/F# 
Better to be rolled in oats 
    E                B 
Than from the roll be dropped 


B                  
A broken heart would satisfy 
E          B 
Broken in a mess 
B 
A severed eye would gratify 
C#             E 
My soul, I must confess 
B 
I'd rather have no eyes at all 
E 
Be blind upon the floor 
       B     B/A#     B/G#      B/F# 
Then to stand upon the receiving end 
E                       B 
Of the right hand of the Lord 

       B     B/A#     B/G#      B/F# 
Then to stand upon the receiving end 
E                       B 
Of the right hand of the Lord
