Am
Keep your warpaint on

The locusts have come
F
Keep your warpaint on

The rats fight for the crumbs
Am
Keep your warpaint on

While we cook here in the sun
F
Keep your warpaint on

Am
Keep your warpaint on

While your husbands pretend
F
That it'll be alright

But the message fails to send
Am
When the rains don't come

When the levee breaks again
F
Keep your warpaint on

Keep your warpaint on

[Bridge]

Am
G Em                       Am
I know November broke your heart
G             Em                    Am
The dice were loaded from the start
G   Em                   Am
One promise for American girls
G             E
No mercy in a man's world


[Chorus]

Am
No mercy in a man
                    F
No mercy in a man's world

I know
Am
No mercy in a man
                    F
No mercy in a man's world

I know


[Verse 2]

Am
Keep your warpaint on

The street lights all burned out
F
From sea to shining sea

The smell of sulphur in the clouds
Am
You've got your keys between your fingers

As if you had a choice
F
Keep your keys between your fingers

Your mother's blood in your voice


[Bridge]

Am
G Em                       Am
I know November broke your heart
G             Em                    Am
The dice were loaded from the start
G   Em                   Am
One promise for American girls
G             E
No mercy in a man's world


[Chorus]

Am
No mercy in a man
                    F
No mercy in a man's world

I know
Am
No mercy in a man
                    F
No mercy in a man's world

I know


Am
No mercy in a man
                    F
No mercy in a man's world

I know
Am
No mercy in a man
                    F
No mercy in a man's world
