Note: As far as chords go, this one seems to just be
alternating Em and C chords


Em
Guitar thug blew into town
C
His eyes like wheels spinnin' round
Em
Jerkin-off at every sound
C
Layin' all his crosses down
Em
O yeah
He got Six Strings
                 C         Em
The Six Strings that drew blood


The bar is full of Holy-Joes
A Holy-hole-a-whole-aria
Around the neck of our consumptive rose
is the root of all his sorrows
O yeah
He got Six Strings
Six Strings that drew blood
A Holy-hole-a-whole-aria
Six Strings that drew blood


In the bathroom under cover
He turns on one tap to discover
He's smashed his teeth out on the other
Well he look in the mirror and say
don't fuck me brother
Cause I got Six Strings
Six Strings that drew blood


Numbin' the runt of reputation they call rat fame
Top-E as a tourniquet
A low tune whistles across his grave
Forever the master and the slave of his Six Strings
A Holy-hole-a-whole-aria
Six Strings that drew blood.
