All My Ghosts
Intro:
F B C G#, (mess up) F B C G# Bb, F B C G# Bb B...
D# G# C G# D#
If I could live to be several hundred
G# C
I could take a walk and really wander
G# Bb D#
Really wonder
D# Bb G# F
All my ghosts on every sea in every land
C G#
Who needs that now? (3x)
D# G# C G# D#
Have you heard about the heavenly angels (oh ohh oh)
G# C
How they came to earth and met some ladies
G# Bb D#
With whom they mated?
Bb G# F
And their young became giants every one
C G# D# F D#
Who needs that now? (3x)
D#
I was driving across the valley floor
Bb
Going past a scene of gore
G#
Something that had ended here
D# Bb
Then I stopped in at a porno store
D#
And I found among the pictures there
Bb
A vision that was very fair
G#
Just a moment from yesteryear
D# Bb
All I could do was stare
solo: same rhythm and chords as the verse and chorus
D# G# C G# D#
I had a date for the eleventh hour (oh ohh oh)
G# C
And we took a tour of The Seven Horrors
G# Bb D#
Plus just one more
Bb G# F
Hank the Eighth was a duplicated man
C G#
Who needs that now? (3x)

and then he stopped to say
Fm6 A#
before he went down
A# Fm6
this is the worst place

BREAK 2 - same as BREAK 1, but on the last line, Lyle goes:
C7(b9)/G D#7(b9)/A# F#7(b9)/C# A7(b9)/E C7(b9)/G
.in the sun
these chords are all the same fingering as the C7(b9)/G, but

Six-Sixty-Six
G
In the midst of the war, He offered us peace,
C G
And he came like a lover, From out of the east,
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast,
C D G
His intentions were six-sixty-six.
G
He walked up to the temple, With gold in his hands,
C G
And he bought off the priests and propositioned the land,
And the world was his harlot, and laid in the sand,
C D G
While the band played six-sixty-six
G
We served at his table, and we slept on the floor,
C G
But he starved us and beat us, and nailed us to the door
Well, I'm ready to die, I can't take any more
C D G
And I'm sick of his lies and his tricks
Solo chords: G C G C D G
G
He told us he loved us, But that was a lie,
C
There was blood in his pockets
G
And death in his eyes
Well, my number is up, And I'm willing to die
C D
If the band will play six
C D
If the band will play six-sixty
C D G
If the band will play six-sixty-six
