A Song For You Once Beaten Black And Blue

D D A A



[Verse 1]

        D                            D
There's something we could be doing
                  A      A
Like searchin for murder clues,
        D                      D
Did you look beyond the fields,
              A               A
Out where the young men yield
              D
And there's a lad with an axe
         D
Who sits still as wax
            A          A
You see him right away
              D                              D
And as i said time and time again Now you'll never find a friend
A
not now you're crazy,
                        A
learn how to treat your lady



[Chorus]

               D        Bm                 F#m
What would you say to a man if he tried to kill you with his hands?
                       Em                       A
Would you tell him you love him, or even try to hug him?
                    D           Bm             F#m
And you can see the pain in his eyes like he's witnessed a million crimes
              Em                       D
And heard the women cry, ah they don't wanna die
            D                   Bm                  F#m
But you can tell that he's lost love cause he's not always been a thug
                    Em
Well those days are over
                       A
Get close enough he'll show ya




[Verse 2]

    Em      A              F#m
But I won't let you get me down,
   Em      A              D
no I won't let you get me down

      D                          D
There all as good as dead as you cant
         A            A
Live without your head
             D                 D
And tie them up by their hands
                   A             A
And make your wish their commands
        D                                   D
And his crimes were so obscene as they have made a massive siege
          A             A
You could nearly scream
       D                          D
And it could be my heartbreak but I swear that I felt the ground shake
           A
Must be an earthquake
            A
Each one of his mistakes



[Chorus]

               D        Bm                 F#m
What would you say to a man if he tried to kill you with his hands?
                       Em                       A
Would you tell him you love him, or even try to hug him?
                    D           Bm             F#m
And you can see the pain in his eyes like he's witnessed a million crimes
              Em                       D
And heard the women cry, ah they don't wanna die
            D                   Bm                  F#m
But you can tell that he's lost love cause he's not always been a thug
                    Em
Well those days are over
                       A
Get close enough he'll show ya
          D                   Bm         F#m
Would you attempt to take his side if it means you would survive?
                 Em
But it's not too easy
                      A
To escape the face of crazy

[instrumental]

G B Em B

[Bridge]

G
I could see him comin
          B
Should've started off by running
         Em
Cause he doesnt have the kindest heart
G
His eyes might say hello
        B
But his fists will give a blow
             Em
ill catch my five run back and fight




[Chorus]

               D        Bm                 F#m
What would you say to a man if he tried to kill you with his hands?
                       Em                       A
Would you tell him you love him, or even try to hug him?
                    D           Bm             F#m
And you can see the pain in his eyes like he's witnessed a million crimes
              Em                       D
And heard the women cry, ah they don't wanna die
            D                   Bm                  F#m
But you can tell that he's lost love cause he's not always been a thug
                    Em
Well those days are over
                       A
Get close enough he'll show ya



[Outro]

    G                  Em
And this is a song for you
     Bm
Once beaten black and blue
       Am
And he still loves you
            D               G
He wants to hug you at night
