The Body Electric
Hurray for the Riff Raff



Capo 1st


                                    A                                      E               A
Said you're gonna shoot me down, put my body in the river
                                            E                A
Shoot me down, put my body in the river
                     Dm                            
While the whole world sings, sing it like a song
           Dm                                  
The whole world sings like there's nothing going wrong


He shot her down, he put her body in the river
He covered her up but I went to get her
And I said, "My girl, what happened to you now?"
I said, "My girl, we gotta stop it somehow"



                A                              
Oh, and tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand
              D                                    Dm                          
Gonna do for a world that's so sick and sad?
 A                         
Tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand
             D                                      Dm
Gonna do for a world that's so gone mad?


He's gonna shoot me down, put my body in the river
Cover me up with the leaves of September
Like an old sad song, you heard it all before
Well, Delia's gone but I'm settling the score


Oh, and tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand
Gonna do for a world that's just dying slow?
Tell me what's a man with a rifle in his hand
Gonna do for his daughter when it's her turn to go?
