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'?
