Seduction of the innocent
Simmons, Van Zen
[Intro: Rhy. fig 1a]
[Rhy. fig 1a & 1c]
He always wears his bible belt
The collar under his head
It's like a noose around his neck
His sandaled feet don't touch the ground
Ears don't hear a sound
Seduction Of The Innocent
[Rhy. fig 1c]
[Rhy. fig 2a & 2b]
Everybody thinks there's always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons
And don't know why
[Rhy. fig 3a & 3b with Riff 1 on last bar]
Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Would you know the trickery that he's prayin?
[Rhy. fig 1a & 1c]
The padre looks well fed
Remember what the good book said
Vultures circle overhead
Whatever gets you through the night
Friends sing to clear your mind
Seduction Of The Innocent
[Rhy. fig 1c]
[Rhy. fig 2a & 2b]
Everybody thinks there's always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of a man for all seasons
And don't know why
[Rhy. fig 3a & 3b]
Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Would you know the trickery that he's prayin'?
[Solo 1 over Rhy. fig 1a]
[Solo 2 over Rhy. fig 4a & 4b]
[Rhy. fig 2a & 2b]
Everybody thinks there's always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons
And don't know why
[Rhy. fig 3a & 3b]
Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Would you know the trickery that he's prayin'?
