Kiss Me, Son of God Lyrics

Kiss Me, Son of God by They Might Be Giants
(Convention: each chord is two beats/half a measure. A dash indicates that
the chord is held for another two beats; two chords with a slash between
them are held for one beat/a quarter of a measure each.
This song is lowered two semitones. Capo up two frets to be in the
original key.)
D D+ Em Ddim (Ddim: 120101)
I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
called the blood of the exploited working class
but they've overcome their shyness - now they're calling me 'your Highness'
and a world screams: Kiss me, Son of God
I destroyed the bond of friendship and respect
between the only people left who'd even look me in the eye
now I laugh and make a fortune off the same ones that I tortured
and a world screams: Kiss me, Son of God
Em A(+m9) D - (A+m9: 002320)
I look like Jesus, so they say
(+m9) -
but Mr Jesus is very far away
now you're the only one here who can tell me if it's true
that you love me and I love me
I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
called the blood of the exploited working class
but they've overcome their shyness - now they're calling me 'your Highness'
and a world screams: Kiss me, Son of God
yes the world screams: Kiss me, Son of God
-E.M.
