Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I was still a child when you  caught me, and tied  me to your bed
 You gave me shoes  and pretty  clothes, and I gave  you what I had between my legs
 It was just  a right of pass-ee-age,  you held  me down and said
 "Gonna be  your right of pass-ee-age,  so boy  you better spread,  spread 'em"
 Run run run,  as fast as you can,  but you can't run,  run from the
 Childcatcher's hands
 Run run run,  as fast as you can,  but you can't  and then you can't.
 And I wrote  your name in my shit  across the town,
 to warn  the kids of your bloodshed
 And I chased  you with a burning cross,
 and my mother,  she wanted you dead.
 Run run  run, as fast as you  can, but you can't  run, run from the
 Childcatcher's hands  (REPEAT)
Strange bit at the end:
E------------------------|
B------------------------| (REPEAT)
G-----2------------------| ie. play the first strings of Am Em F G,
D----2-----2----3----5---| in progression
A---0-----2----3----5----|
E--------0----1----3-----|
 I've got no time, for victims,
 I didn;t think it was all that bad,
 and if you can't run to save yourself,
 then you deserve to be had,
 this is the age of constipation
 this is the age of martyrdom.
 Oh, I think you even enjoyed it, I think I even saw you cum.
