Medusa(Chords)

	        
 (all fingerings relative to capo) 


Intro: G D Em x 2 

verse 1: 

G                D     Em 
One year closer to my death 
G                        D     Em 
I haven't found what I'm looking for yet 
G                           D     Em 
It ain't big blue eyes and long blonde hair 
G                                D     Em 
It ain't a million dollars or a secret prayer 

verse 2 (chords as before): 

Ya see, my corpse was born inside of me 
Sometimes I carry him, sometimes he carries me 
And we ride this desert foreign land 
When my prayers don't work I use my hands 

Bridging section: C D Em 

verse 3 : 
There's a monster in my dreams 
With ruby eyes she calls to me 
And the demons circle round her throne 
beside the princes she has turned to stone 

verse 4: 

She can take your brain but not your blood 
She can bury your bones but not your love 
Still, I keep practicing my aim 
Persius is my name 

Bridge: 

C        D      Em 
Time is not the enemy 
C     D      Em 
I am, I think 
        C                      D               Em 
But if I can't find the rhythm, if I can't find a cure 
                C                        D        Em 
By God I'm gonna break these walls and shake these floors 

Verse 5: 

If I come I come to raise the dead 
Even with all these demons in my head 
And if you've come to raise them too 
If you wait for me, I'll wait for you 

Verse 6: 

My grandpa asked me to plant a tree 
So I burned down the forrest while he was asleep 
He awoke with not a tree in sight, 
Said 'now maybe son you can plant one right 

Verse 7: 

Don't be afraid of the blood and gore 
Don't be afraid of the devil on the threshing floor 
'Cause there's a power in your bones that outconsumes 
War and Sex and God and You' 

Bridge: 

Time is not the enemy 
I am, I think 
But if I can't find the rhythm 
If I can't find a cure 
By God I'm gonna break these walls and shake these floors 

Verse 8: 

If I come I come to raise the dead 
Even with all these demons in my head 
And if you've come to raise them too 
If you wait for me I'll wait for you 

Verse 9: 

Guts of gold and wings of steel 
A loaded gun and a pocket mirror 
And if you make it out alive 
You better hold that bloody head up high 

Bridging section: C D Em (the arpeggio is done on the bar chords)* 

verse 10: 

My dad was born in '58 
His dad was born in '29 
His dad was born in 1895 
His name was Persius- the same as mine
