Chords for Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - When I First Came to Town

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
When I first came to town
_ All _ the people gathered round _ _ _
They bought me _ drinks _ _
Oh Lord, [F] how quickly _ _
They [C] changed their tune _
When _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I first came to town _ _ _
People took me round from end to end _ _
Like someone may take a round they spread
Oh [F] how quickly
_ _ They [C] changed their tune _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Suspicion and dark murmurs surround me
_ Everywhere I go they confound me
And all the blood on my hands is _ _ spared
For [G] every [F] _ _ surprise _ _ [G] they [Dm] _ see
[G] _ _ _ _ _
[F] Oh _ sweet Jesus
There is no turning [C] _ back
[G] There's always one [Eb] more town or [Cm] little
Mother [Dm] down the _ trail
_ [G] And _ [Bb] _ [C] _ _
from my window I crack the traps
I watch the jesus burn their vials
And in that light their faces allure at me
Oh [F] I _ wish they'd just let me [C] be
_ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ [C] When I first came to _ town
I left fevers and worked all free _
Now even the dogs and the [F] hogs all over this town
Are close to [C] _
_ _ [F] me
_ [Bb] _ _ [C]
I search the mirror and I try to see
I search the mirror and I try [G] to see
[C] Why the people of this town
[F] _
Have [C] _ washed their _ [F]
hands [Am] of me
[G] _ _ Oh [F] _
_ _ sweet Jesus
There is no turning [C] _ back
[G] There's always one [Eb] more town or little
[C] Mother [D] down [F] the _ trail
_ [G] _ _ [Bb] _ [C] _ Oh Lord every god damn turn I take
I fear the noose and I fear the stake
For there ain't a bone they did not break
In all [F] the _ _ towns I've been [C] before _ _
Oh _ [Bb] _ [C] _ Lord the sin against me I snuffed out
I know that from every day that I live
_ God damn the day that I was born
And the night that brought me from the womb
And God damn this town
For I am leaving now but one day I will _ return
_ And the people of this town
Will surely see just [F] how quickly
[G] _
[F] The _ [Dm] tables _ _ [G] turn
_ _ _ [F] Oh _ sweet _ Jesus
This really is [C] the end
[Gm] There's [D] always one [Eb] more town or little
[Cm] _ [Gm] Mother [Dm] down the trail
