In the center of the city was a statue and her twin
And together they watched over everything
Oh, they saw me when I stumbled and they watched you help me stand
I'd swear Cecilia and her sister had it all planned

Then one morning I was walking, from my window to your door
Well I nearly hit the ground with what I saw
Cecilia had been broken, while her sister had been spared
And the vandals had scattered the pieces everywhere

This is the kind of finger pick to do throughout the song

Guitar enters here, Strum once for the first Verse):

[Fm]And I knew it made me [C]wonder [Am]what kind of twisted [Fm]mind
Would ever [C]hurt her, so [Am]thoughtless and [Fm]unkind
But a monster so [C]cruel can't be [Am]that hard to [Fm7]find

[Fm]Boys

Verse [B]:

So I [C]started wearing warpaint and I gathered all my friends
For C[Am]ecilia we'd be hunters 'till the end   [C]
She was built for a perfect picture, but she came to represent
Though I [Am]guess I never understood [C]exactly what it meant

Verse [A]:

Oh I know [Fm]Cecilia and her [C]sister were just [Am]statues made of [Fm]stone
But I still [C]missed her and now her [Am]sister's all a[Fm]lone
No that just won't [C]do!
So let's [Am]raid the vandal's [Fm7]homes

[Fm]Boys

Verse [C]:

So we [C]ventured out at sunrise
With our torches and our spears   [Am]
And our [C]shotguns and our fears
And our carefully hidden tears    [Am]
For Cecilia, [C]Cecilia

Verse [A]:

Now I'm [Fm]thinking of the [C]moment
When we can [Am]look them in the [Fm]eye
And make them [C]sorry, 'cause [Am]tonight they're gonna [Fm]die
Yeah, we'll shoot them up [C]dead!
Leave their [Am]bodies where they [Fm7]lie

[Fm]Boys

Verse [D]:

So[C] now we're following the pieces of Cecilia to the door
Every [Am]shattered limb repeatedly re[C]minding us of what we're searching for
And the sleepers have woken for now they have an aim
Yes they're [Am]quite aware of the cold hard fact that the [C]city's loss could be their gain

Verse [A]:

They are [Fm]dreaming of, the [C]feeling of!
A [Am]trophy in their [Fm]arms, a hero's [C]welcome, claiming [Am]women with their [Fm]charms
Oh I'm sorry if I [C]hurt you, you know I [Am]swear I meant no [Fm7]harm

[Fm]Baby

Verse [E]:

So the [C]trail, it keeps on [Em7]turning as we [Am]wander through the [Cm7]streets
I keep [Fm]looking at, the [C]pieces of [Em7]Cecilia at my [Fm]feet

But the [C]strangest thing occurs to me
When I stop to look around
Oh I'd [Am]swear we are returning to the [C]center of the town!

Strum once for last verse.):

Yes we're [Fm]back here, where we [C]started
Where [Am]Cecilia used to stand[Fm], but her sister looks [C]different
Please, [Am]tell me boys, if you [Fm]can?
Is that a smile on her [C]face?
Is that a [Am]hammer in her [Fm7]hand?
