Frank Black - Six-sixty-six

( written by larry norman )

G
in the midst of the war , he offered us peace ,
C G
and he came like a lover , from out of the east ,

with the face of an angel and the heart of a beast ,
C D G
his intentions were six – sixty – six .
G
he walked up to the temple , with gold in his hands ,
C G
and he bought off the priests and propositioned the land ,

and the world was his harlot , and laid in the sand ,
C D G
while the band played six – sixty – si
xg
we served at his table , and we slept on the floor ,
C G
but he starved us and beat us , and nailed us to the door

well , i’m ready to die , i can’t take any more
C D G
and i’m sick of his lies and his tricks

solo chords : G C G C D G

G
he told us he loved us , but that was a lie ,
C
there was blood in his pockets
G
and death in his eyes

well , my number is up , and i’m willing to die
C D
if the band will play si
x C D
if the band will play six – sixty
C D G
if the band will play six – sixty – six
