Chords for Foot of Pride (Studio Outtake - 1983)

Like a lion tears the flesh off of a man, _
_ Sucking a woman who passes herself off as a male.
_ They sing Danny Boyd at his funeral,
And the Lord's Prayer.
_ [B] The preacher talk about Christ's betrayal. _
_ _ It's [E] like the FTS government swallowed him up.
_ _ [A] _ [E] He reached too [E] high and was thrown back to the [Em] ground.
_ You [B] know what they say about being nice to the right people on the way up.
_ Sooner or later you're gonna meet them coming down.
_ Yeah, there ain't no [Ab] going back.
[E] When you put a pride on the down,
There ain't [B] no going back. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ They got a brother named Jake,
Don't forget faces of ain't.
Sucking cheeks and his blood is mixed. _ _ _ _ _ _
He looks straight into the sun and says,
Revenge is mine, huh? _ _
But he drinks,
And drinks can't be fixed. _ _
Sing me [E] one more song about your love me to the morning stranger. _
And you'll fall by the sword love affair with Averil [B] Flynn. _
In these times of compassion,
_ Where conformity's in fashion.
Say one more stupid thing to me before the final day is driven in.
Well, there ain't [Ab] no going back.
[E] When you put a pride on the down,
There ain't [B] no going back. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ There's a retired businessman named Red,
Cast down from heaven and he's out of his head.
He feeds off of everyone that he can touch.
_ He say only deals in cash would sell tickets to a plane crash.
_ Not somebody that you play around with much.
_ _ _ [E] Misty Lollar is his,
A Philly Stiner's what she is.
She'll do undress and works with your face.
_ [D] _ _ [Bm] Feed you coconut [B] bread,
Spice buns in bed.
If you don't mind sleeping with your head face down in a play.
_ Well, there ain't no going [Ab] back.
[E] When you put a pride on the down,
There ain't [B] no going back. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well, I'll choose a man for you to meet tonight.
_ _ _ You'll play the fool and learn how to walk through doors.
_ How to enter into the gates of paradise, no.
_ _ How to carry a burden too heavy to be yours.
_ [E] Yeah, when the stage they'll be trying to get water out of rocks.
_ A whore will pass a hat collector on the ground and say thanks.
[D] _ [B] They'll have to take all this money from sin.
Build big universities to study in.
Sing amazing grace all the way to the Swiss banks.
_ Well, there ain't no going back.
[E] When you put a pride on the down,
There ain't [B] no going back. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ They got some beautiful people out there, man.
They can be a terror through your mind and show you how to hold your tongue.
_ _ _ _ They got mystery written all over their forehead.
_ They kill babies in the crib and say only the good die young.
_ [E] They don't believe in mercy. _ _
Judgment on them is something that you'll never see.
[B] _ They can exalt you up or bring you down bankrupt.
_ _ _ Turn you into anything that they want you to be.
_ Well, there ain't no_
_ [E] When you put a pride on the down,
There ain't [B] no going back. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Yes, I guess I loved him too.
I can still see him in my mind,
Lying in that hill.
_ _ _ _ _ Did he make it to the top?
Well, he probably didn't drive. _ _ _
Stuck down by the strength of the will.
[Bm] _ _ _ [E]
Ain't nothing left here, partner.
_ _ _ Just the dust of a plague that has left the storm town [B] afraid.
_ From now on, this will be where you're from.
Let the dead bury the dead.
Your time will come.
Feel that hot iron glow as he waits for shade.
[Ab] There ain't no going [E] back.
When you put a pride on the [B] down,
There ain't no going back.
_ _ _ _ _ Oh, yeah.
[Abm] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] Oh, yeah. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
