Genre: rock, alternative, indie


The recurring "theme" of this song is a back-and-forth picking of E on the D

string and open B string.

It falls within the bounds of the E major chord.
Intro: E-B pluck (denotated later as "E *")
B E *
Did you get your invitation
B E *
There's going to be a public hanging
B E *
And the bodies will swing side by side
B E *
And it's just I and I
B E *
Can you hear the hyena laughing
B E *
As they tear the meat from the bone
B E *
And you look so pretty watching
B E *
The bodies swing side by side
|CHORUS:
|E E A B
|Going home x3
|
| E *
|
|E A B D A x4
E (mute) E A B D
Did you hear the bells ringing
E E A B D
Or was that just in my head
E E A B D
Thought I heard the angels singing
E A E B
Their wings brush across my face
E A E B
Hear the wolves a howling
E A E B
The crowd it claps for more
E A E B
And I thought I heard you praying
E A E B
It's just the closing of the door
CHORUS
E E A B
Going home x3
