Capo 4



Intro (No instruments) 

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

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

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

Fm 
Boys 



Verse B: 

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



Verse A:  

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

Fm 
Boys 



Verse C: 

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



Verse A: 

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

Fm 
Boys 



Verse D: 

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



Verse A: 

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

Fm 
Baby 



Verse E: 

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



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



Verse A (Strum once for last verse.): 

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