A Perfect Circle - The Doomed Chords

A Perfect Circle - The Doomed Chords

[Intro]
C F Am Em

[Verse 1]
Em
Behold a new Christ
Em
Behold the same old horde
Em
Gather at the altering
Em
New beginning, new word
Em
And the word was death
Em
And the word was without light
Em
The new beatitude:
Em
"Good luck, you're on your own"

Em D Am C
Em D G Am

[Verse 2]
Em                     D
Blessed are the fornicates
D                             Am
May we bend down to be their whores
                    C
Blessed are the rich
                             Em
May we labor, deliver them more
                  D
Blessed are the envious
                                       G
Bless the slothful, the wrathful, the vain
                      A
Blessed are the gluttonous
                                 C   D G
May they feast us to famine and war

[Chorus 1]
             C                              D
What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful?
G            C                             D      G
What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?
        G
All doomed
     C     D
All doomed

Em

[Verse 3]
Em
Behold a new Christ
D          Am
Behold the same old horde
G
Gather at the altering
Am
New beginning, new word
Em
And the word was death
D
And the word was without light
G
The new beatitude:
Am
"Good luck..."

[Chorus 2]
             C                   Em         G
What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful?
             G
What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?
  Em         C
What of the righteous?
Em             D
What of the charitable?
Em                         Am                C
What of the truthful, the dutiful, the decent?

Em D Am C Am

Doomed are the poor

Doomed are the peaceful

Doomed are the meek
C
Doomed are the merciful
Em
For the word is now death
D
And the word is now without light
G
The new beatitude:
Em
"Fuck the doomed, you're on your own"
