Em Am Em If I’m a pagan of the good times, Am G My lover’s the sunlight. Am Em To keep the goddess on my side, Am D She demands a sacrifice. C6 To drain the whole sea, Em Get something shiny. Am Em Something meaty for the main course, Am G That’s a fine-looking high horse. Am Em What you got in the stable? Am D We’ve a lot of starving faithful. C That looks tasty; C That looks plenty.
