The Dogs Damour – Bullet Proof Poet chords

[Verse 1]
Em                  D    As the preacher stumbles
Am                     Em    From his castle of sin
Em                         D    And his vision gets distorted
Am                      Em    From the bottle within
Em                      D    But his mouth slurs out the words
Am               Em    From a sober heart
Em                     D    They cut deep into open nerves
Am                      Em    Then they tear you apart

[Chorus]
            CThis is the ballad
D                      Em   Of the bullet proof poet
            CThis is the ballad,
D             EmBaby, don’t I know it

[Verse 2]
Em                   D    He gave Jesus tattoos and
Am                   Em    Took the devil's soul
Em             D    He got the angels drunk and
Am                             Em    Gave them the gutter for a home

[Chorus]
            CThis is the ballad
D                      Em   Of the bullet proof poet
            CThis is the ballad,
D             EmBaby, don’t I know it

[Verse 3]
Em                    D    He loved the most beautiful girl
Am                  Em    In the midst of wine
Em                      D    A last kiss through cigarette smoke
Am                                           Em    Then she quietly slipped off the edge of time

[Chorus]
            CThis is the ballad
D                   EmOf the bullet proof poet
            CThis is the ballad,
D          Em   Don’t I know it
