[Verse 1]
                 C5                Bb5
The white hunter sits on his porch
                  C5                Bb5
With his elephant gun and his tears
C5
He’ll shoot you for free
Bb5
If you come around here

A protester kneels on the neck of a statue
                        C5      Bb5
The statue says I can’t breathe
              C5                       Bb5
The protester says now you know how it feels
                             C5 Bb5
And he kicks it into the sea

[Verse 2]
       Bb5                     C5
I am a Botticelli Venus with a penis
                   Bb5           C5 Bb5 F5 Eb5
Riding an enormous scalloped fan
                     F5              Eb5
I’m a sea foam woman rising from the spray
                     C5   Bb5 C5 Bb5
I’m coming to do you harm
C5                       Bb5
With the gun in my pants full of elephant tears
C5                     Bb5 C5 Bb5 C5 Bb5
And a seahorse on each arm
                        C5   Bb5
With my elephant gun of tears
               C5          Bb5
I’ll shoot you all for free
C5          Bb5
If you even think about coming round here
C5                            Bb5
I’ll shoot you in the fucking face
                       C5          Bb5
If you think of coming around here

[Verse 3]
           Eb5                          G5 F5
I’m an ice sculpture melting in the sun
           G5                         F5  C5
I’m an ice sculpture with an elephant gun
           Bb5                              C5    Bb5
I’m an ice sculpture made of elephant-sized tears
                                     C5 Bb5
Raining gas and salt upon your heads
                  C5                 Bb5
The president has called in the Feds
          F5                      Eb5
I’ve been planning this for years
                      F5
I’ll shoot you in the fucking face
Eb5
If you think of coming around here
G5
I’ll shoot you for just for fun
G5                             C5
I’m a statue lying on my side, in the sun
Bb5                            C5
With the memory of an elephant
Bb5
Evaporating before your eyes
C5                    Bb5
Becoming a great grey cloud of wrath
C5                       B5
Roaring my salt upon the earth
F5
I will shoot you all for free
       Eb5                   F5 Eb5
If you so much as look at me


[Chorus]
          C
A time is coming
          C
A time is nigh
        F
For the kingdom
       C
In the sky
          C
Don’t ask who
          C
Don’t ask why
          F              C
There’s a kingdom in the sky
                 G
We’re all coming home
      C
For a while
          C
A time is coming
          C
A time is nigh
        F              C
For the kingdom in the sky
                 G
We’re all coming home
      C
For a while
          C
A time is coming
          C
A time is nigh
        F              C
For the kingdom in the sky
                 G
We’re all coming home
     C
In a while
