THE DEAD MILKMEN
God's Kid Brother

The verses and choruses have exactly the same progression, although
there is another bit I've cleverly called "other bit". It now has the
solo, as well. Hurrah.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intro/Verse:
-----------
C F
C F
C              Bb                  F             Bb
Are we not the living proof of the idiot God who placed us here
C              Bb                  F                 G
Are we not his dirty children, his unwashed sons who he holds dear


Chorus:
------
C                               F
Are we not the proof that there may've been another creator
   C                                     F
If this is the ultimate truth, it had to come out sooner or later
     C                     Bb
I've looked for the reason why we're here
     F                  Bb
I've kept on searching 'til it was clear
     C                        Bb
I've looked for excuses-I can find no other
   F                      G
We must be the product of God's kid brother


Other Bit:
---------
      Bb
Their ivy halls are closed to us
   Dm
We scrape to survive and we taste the dust
    Bb
The things that we weren't meant to know
    F
Are spoke of in places where we can't go
   Bb
So don't tell me you still find it hard to believe
     F                 G
That we were made by a different God


chorus:
Are we not the proof that there may've been another creator
Let's run to the volcano and toss a virgin in the crater
I've looked for the reason why we're here
I've kept on searching 'til it was clear
I've looked for excuses-I can find no other
We must be the product of God's kid brother

other bit:
Their ivy halls are closed to us
We scrape to survive and we taste the dust
The things that we weren't meant to know
Are spoke of in places where we can't go
So don't tell me you still find it hard to believe
That we were made by a different God

verse:
Maybe there are two Gods
A perfect God who made all those perfect people,
And another God who made the rest of us.
And maybe, just maybe, somewhere there's a heavenly choir
That sings off key

chorus:
Are we not the proof that there may've been another creator
We'll dodge our way through life and hope for something greater
I've looked for the reason why we're here
I've kept on searching 'til it was clear
I've looked for excuses-I can find no other
We must be the product of God's kid brother

End on C.
