Waterboys - Be my enemy (Piano demo) chords
Start Jamming...
[Am]
Well, the wind that is howling, the storm that shakes,
I feel like I'm lying on a bed of snakes that have been [D] smacked all around,
My hands [Am] belonging to you.
[D] Well, if [C] you'll be my enemy, [G] I'll be your enemy [Am] too.
[D] [Am] I'm afraid to disgrace you, but I won't keep a smile.
Shame like curtains is making me nail [D] my shackles and irons.
We're all forced to sign by [Am] you.
[D] Well, if [C] you'll be my enemy, [G] I'll be your enemy [Am] too.
I got a bucket full of Babylon, I got a handful of lands,
I'm gonna put them in a gunman.
Even if it's your head because [D] you stole all my friends and you gave me the Buffalo [Am] Blues.
[D]
Well, if [C] you'll be my enemy, [G]
I'll be your enemy [Am] too.
Values, goods on my landings, feeds on my turf,
Nazis in the basement, digging up the earth,
They [D] were all sitting there, someone, obviously [Am] you.
[D]
Well, if [C] you'll be my enemy, [G]
be your enemy [Am] too.
I'm suffering from a sickness that will not let me sleep,
I've been struck so numb that I can't even sleep.
[D] You've clipped my wings and you've coated my shoes with [Am] glue.
[D]
Well, if [C] you'll be my enemy, [G] I'll be your enemy [Am] too.
From the rim of your glasses, nails on your toes,
Scales on your skin to the seams on your clothes,
[D] You're gonna make me have to do something that I do not want [Am] to do.
[D]
[A] But if you [C] will be my enemy, [G]
I will be [Am] yours too.
My hands are tied, nailed to the floor, [A] I feel like a knocking on an unknown door.
There's a gun in my back, there's a blade in my throat,
I've got a tape mail in the pockets of my coat.
I've been trying to grow, I've been cooling my heels,
I've been walking in the hills, I've [Am] been walking in the fields.
I don't wear my gutters to sleep, I don't wear my gutter to rest,
I will put my soul and my life to the test,
[D] I will put right this disgrace, I will rearrange [Am] you.
[D]
Because [C] if you'll be my enemy, [G]
[Bm] I'll be your enemy [Am] too.
[D]
Well, if [C] you'll be my enemy, [G]
I'll be your [Am] enemy too.
[D]
[C] Be my enemy.
[G]
[Am] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[C] [G] [Am]
[A]
