Verse 1:
Em Bm
All is quiet on the Western front
C A
There appears to be a lull
Em D
Oh John and Jane Doe are sleeping well tonight
C
With little thoughts inside their skulls
Em Bm
Salome she's undressed to the nines
C A
And although a few pounds fatter
Em D
She got Pavlov's bells on her ankles and wrists
C
She coming at you with her platter
Chorus 1:
D Em
They're building a new gallows
C G G/F# G/E
When you show up on the streets
D Em
Oh they're polishing the electric chair

Gonna give you a front row seat

Heard a sneer outside the garden

Salutation so well

"Welcome all you suckers to Struggleville"

Em Bm
I stole down to the waterfront
C A
To escape the desert heat
Em D
Oh what on earth you gotta do around here
C
To try and get yourself a drink
Em Bm
Heard John the Baptist preaching
C A
He said "Make way for the King
Em D
But if you wanna recognize him
C
You gotta tell me all your sins"
Chorus 2:
D Em
They're building a new gallows

Verse 3:
Em Bm
I've been trying to negotiate peace
C A
With my own existence
Em D
She got stockpiles full of weaponry
C
She breakin' every cease-fire agreement
Em Bm
Oh the whole thing is full of decay
C A
As sure as I'm made of dust
Em D C
Oh but in the rust I hear the beast is calling
Chorus 3:
D Em
They're building a new gallows
