The Killing Season Chords & Lyrics - Mark Lanegan Band

[INTRO]
[Gm]

[VERSE 1]
[G/B]Killing s[Bb]eason it's [G]beginning
[G/B]I feel your h[Bb]ands around my t[G]hroat
[G/B]You're either [Bb]lose, or come up w[G]inning
[G/B]I wear my o[Bb]ld gray over c[G]oat,
[G/B]I paint it m[Bb]erry, I paint it b[G]lack
[G/B]Tonight they [Bb]hang Jerry[G] , tonight they hang Jack

[VERSE 2]
[G/B]When this k[Bb]illing season's o[G]pened,
[G/B]I never [Bb]say your name a[G]gain
And i[G/B]f a smell your pe[Bb]rfume, the pe[G]rfume of your blood
I [G/B]know it's just a co[Bb]incidence, in[G]stance of my drug
[G/B]You hear the c[Bb]hildren speaking b[G]ackwards
[G/B]Their bodies f[Bb]loat above he b[G]ed

[BRIDGE 1]
[F]Who sings a song that isn't su[G]ng, my soul's in traction
[F]Cops and criminals, and all that c[G]rawl get into action
[F]Smell in the instance of the pe[G]rfume of your blood
[F]Smell in the instance of the pe[G]rfume of my drug

[VERSE 3]
[G/B]The prick and b[Bb]order start to p[G]ound,
[G/B]Powdering in the a[Bb]ir like anthrax[G] brought six white horses down
[G/B]When this cold, d[Bb]ark night is o[G]ver,
[G/B]There ain't nob[Bb]ody left a[G]round

[INSTRUMENTAL 1]
[G/B] [Bb] [G] /
[G/B] [Bb] [G] /
[G/B] [Bb] [G] /
[G/B] [Bb] [G] /

[BRIDGE 2]
[F]I paint it merry, p[G]aint it black
[F]Tonight they hang Jerry, t[G]onight they hang Jack
[F]And when this fever's dream is e[G]nding
[F]I'll never come this way a[G]gain
[F]And if a smell your perfume, the perfume of your blood
[G/B]I know it's j[Bb]ust a coincidence, i[G]nstance of my drug

[VERSE 4]
[G/B]Killing se[Bb]ason it's be[G]ginning
[G/B]Skeleton h[Bb]ands around my t[G]hroat
[G/B]Someone will l[Bb]ose, somebody's w[G]inning
[G/B]I wear my o[Bb]ld gray over c[G]oat
[G/B]I wear my o[Bb]ld gray over c[G]oat
