slaughter’s been arranged, my little lamb, and it’s much too late to talk the knife out of their hands. 
       D             Em             G                           Gm
Well I woke up, on a foggy morning, Hiding from the sun, he was hiding from the sun. 
       D               Em                  G                        Gm

Look, though, I don't know what notes you want to hear played, 
                   D                      A
I can't think what lines you'd like me to sing or say,
                      Em                 G
and I'm not sure what subjects you want mentioned. 
              D             A

crying to be tossed they’ll toss you down the oubliette with all the old things that you let yourself forget 
Bm                           Em                   G              A                D
