O' Be Joyful

Am

Am                                               G
Buzzing like a locust, vibrating right out of my skin
Am              F                   C             Em7    Am
Pounding on the butcher's wall, somebody come and let me in
                                                G
There's a black haired woman carrying a rolling pin
        Am          F          C         Em7      Am         C         Em7      Am
Butcher-man's got a secret but she knows where he been yeah, she knows where he been

               F    G              C   Am    F              G      Am
And it'll be a long time 'fore the sun shines on Shank Hill Street again

         Am                                                G
You see, early in the morning, before the warm wind of the dawn
        Am             F                 C    Em7       Am
She saw thin man and a shadow make their way across the lawn
            Am                                       G
There was a rustle, was a razor and the whisper of a prayer
         Am            F             C         Em7    Am
Then the rhythm of the mallet like a heartbeat in the air

               F    G              C   Am    F              G      Am
And it'll be a long time 'fore the sun shines on Shank Hill Street again

       Am                                    G
With a handshake like a hammer and a suicide grin
     Am                  F            C           Em7    Am           C       Em7    Am
That wooden door creaked open and the butcher-man let me in, yes like that he let me in
      Am                                            G
But I wasted not a minute, I was on him like a whip
    Am       F                     C   Em7 Am
For one last minute he'd feel that hot red drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip

               F    G              C   Am    F              G      Am
And it'll be a long time 'fore the sun shines on Shank Hill Street again
