Mother Of Violence

Key: E MajorE minor, Time: 6/8, Tempo: 164

Intro:
~~~~~~
||E minorEm  || (X 4)

 Mmm...


Verse 1: (0:18-)

|E minorEm |
  Walking the street with her naked feet
  So full of rhythm but I can't find the beat
  Snapping her heels     clicking her toes

|BB    |   |
 Everybody knows  just where she goes
|B/A  |   |
      Ah,

Chorus 1: (0:39-)
~~~~~~~~~
|D MajorD|  |
 Fear,  fear -she's the mother of vio-lence
|G+G   |  |
 making me tense to watch the way she breed

|E minorEm
 Fear, she's the mother of vio-lence
  |D MajorD |  |
You know self-de- fense is all you need
|   |        |Cmaj7Cmaj7 |(X 4 bars)
  It's getting hard to breathe
|Cmaj7Cmaj7 |(X 4 bars)
    It's getting so hard to be-lieve
|G+G  |  ||
    to be-lieve in any-thing at all


[Verse 2] (1:26-)

|E minorEm |
  Mouth all dry      eyes blood shot
   data  stored on a microdot
 Kicking the cloud with my moccasin shoes

|BB  |  |
  T.V. dinner, T.V. news
|B/A  |    |
  Ha, ha, 'cos

[Chorus2] (1:47-)

|D MajorD|
 Fear,  fear -she's the mother of vio-lence
   |G+G  |  |
 don't make any sense to watch the way she breed

|D MajorD|  |
 Fear, she's the mother of vio-lence
|D MajorD |
 making me tense to watch the way she feed
  |  |    |Cmaj7Cmaj7   |   |  |  |
 The only way you know she's there

|Cmaj7Cmaj7 |
   Is the subtle flavour in the air
     |    |    |
 Getting hard to breathe
|D7/F#D7/F#    |
    hard to be-lieve in any-thing at all

|G+G  |


Coda: (2:34-)

   ||E minorEm || (X 3)
  but fear...

||E minorEm || (X 4)
