Frank Black and the Catholics Song: Six-Sixty-Six Album: Frank Black and the Catholics © Strawbed Music Written by Larry Norman Tabbed by: Derek (ProverbialCereal) G In the midst of the war, He offered us peace, C G And he came like a lover, From out of the east, With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast, C D G His intentions were six-sixty-six. G He walked up to the temple, With gold in his hands, C G And he bought off the priests and propositioned the land, And the world was his harlot, and laid in the sand, C D G While the band played six-sixty-six G We served at his table, and we slept on the floor, C G But he starved us and beat us, and nailed us to the door Well, I'm ready to die, I can't take any more C D G And I'm sick of his lies and his tricks Solo chords: G C G C D G G He told us he loved us, But that was a lie, C There was blood in his pockets G And death in his eyes Well, my number is up, And I'm willing to die C D If the band will play six C D If the band will play six-sixty C D G If the band will play six-sixty-six
