Eugene Sue

Intro: A (the little riff here is 5-4-5 on the high E string)

                  E
When the sky opens wide 
        C#m            D               A
And the late winter rain goes wild
         E            D                A 
I don't like it and I curse God to His face 
      A         E
And I say to myself 
         C#m                D
And to anyone else who will listen 
         A               E
Save yourselves, or hang yourselves 
          D                    A
But I am leaving this wretched place 

            A
Oh when you call
  D 
Down curses
       A         D 
On the God that made you
          A                E
You play hide and seek with trouble 
 A                        D   Dm     A    E   
Trouble's gonna find you too 

          A         E
When the ship finds land 
         C#m               D
And they throw me onto the sand 
          A          E              A      D   E
There's a guy with a rifle waiting there
    A     E                C#m                 D 
And I say, to nobody listening: "This is fine by me" 
       A      E           A
And ideas fly through my mind 
                   D
The sweat cakes my hair

            A
Oh when you call
  D 
Down curses
       A         D 
On the God that made you
          A                E
You play hide and seek with trouble 
 A                        D   Dm     A    E   A
Trouble's gonna find you too
