ex lover’s lover

tabbed by 5ason

this song is extremely easy , though it is still great and a fun thing to sit around and
play mindlessly .
fist , tune your guitar a full step down ( D G C F A D ) . this is the case with most
voltaire songs , though!
the only chords you need to know are Em and Am , there is an optional A7 in there , though
it still sounds great without it .
if on occasion you want to add a bit of flavor , plucking each of the three bottom
strings from the bottom up gives a nice touch .

Em Am
three heavy stones will keep it from floating ,
Em Am
weigh it down to the bottom , food for the fishes .
Em Am Em
and i know that it won’t be discovered
Am
’cause i will be careful , so very careful .
start hammering the chords on here , but keep strumming
Em Am Em
what if it doesn’t rain for days and the river is
stop hammering
Am
reduced to its muddy bed?
Em Am
with a corpse exposed i would work in haste
Em Am
and . . . i might bury the bones in a shallow grave .
A7 or Am
and the rain comes and moves rocks and the stones
A7 or Am
washes away all the dirt and the mudflows
A7 or Am
bones are exposed and well .
A7 or Am
you know how that goes!

Em
i wait for the day when i’ll finally defile
Am
the bodies of my ex lover’s lovers .
Em
i’ll pile high to the sky
Am
the bodies of my ex lover’s lovers
Em
die , die , die diddle die ,
Am
die diddle die , diddle die ,
Em
watch them die .
Am Em
watch them die .
Em
die , die , die diddle die ,
Am
die diddle die , diddle die ,
Em
watch them die .
Am Em
watch them die .

( play Em to Am twice )

start hammering the chords on here , but keep strumming
Em Am
i saw you with him , you looked so happy . .
Em Am
all of that can change! ’cause , i Am so lonely ,
Em
and i have lots of time , to , send you straight
Am Em
to the devil , i’m taking my time
Am
to , plan your demise .
Em Am Em
what if i were to cut you up and mail each part
Am Em
to a different town? it would take the most
Am Am or A7
brilliant private eye the rest of his life
Am or A7
just to put you together .
Am or A7
a piece in each mailbox all over the planet
Am or A7
from moscow to tokyo to guadalajara .

Em
i wait for the day when i’ll finally defile
Am
the bodies of my ex lover’s lovers .
Em
i’ll pile high to the sky
Am
the bodies of my ex lover’s lovers
Em
i wait for the day when i’ll finally destroy
Am
the bodies of my ex lover’s lovers .
Em
i’ll pile high to the sky
Am
the bodies of my ex lover’s lovers
Em
die , die , die diddle die ,
Am
die diddle die , diddle die ,
Em
watch them die .
Em
die , die , die diddle die ,
Am

Em Am
i saw you with him , you looked so happy .
Em Am
that will never change , because i know myself
Em
too well . i don’t have the courage
Em
to carry out my dreams
Am
and only there will i see them
Em
die , die , die diddle die ,
Am

Em
watch them die .
Em
