Intro 
Bm    D     



[Verso 1]

D 
He stood like a statue 
                            Bm 
As he was beaten across the face 
Bm 
With a horse whip 
                          D 
Where the wounds already exist 
D 
A well-oiled rifle 
                          Bm  
And never lonely, Marlon JD 
Bm 
If you want to come down, come down 
                       A E Bm 
Give him some dignity

So say, so say Marlon JD 


[Verso 2]

D 
Learn to live without clutter 
                    Bm 
To live without luxury 
Bm 
Sometimes I envy them 
                            D 
Goodnight yourself, Marlon JD 
D 
He did not defend himself 
                         Bm 
He didn't even raise his hand 
Bm 
I will not beg because 
Bm 
This is how I am

[Ponte]

Em 
"Bare floors, plain white walls 
Em 
No window curtains, nothing but essentials 
Em 
With no luxuries, no ornamentation 
Em 
Utter simplicity 
Em 
But it's also clean 
Em 
It's clean as a rifle."
