The Smiths - Meat Is Murder: chords

Am  F       G/D F         Am     F  Am F
Heifer whines   could be human cries
Closer, comes  the screaming knife
      F
This beautiful creature must die
      D7
this beautiful creature must die
   F
A death for no reason,
     G                      Am
and death for no reason is murder
         F
And the flesh you so fancifully fry,
        D7
is not succulent, tasty, or kind
      F           F/E
It's death for no reason,
    F/D           F        Am   D/A
and death for no reason is murder
         F             F/E           F/D F  Am   D/A
And the calf that you carve with a smile is murder
         F          F/E       F/D  F   Am  C
And the turkey you festively slice is murder
         B               Am F G/D F
Do you know how animals die?

Kitchen aromas aren't very homely
It's not comforting, cheery or kind
It's sizzling blood and the unholy stench of murder
It's not natural, normal or kind
The flesh you so fancifully fry
The meat in your mouth
As you savour the flavour of murder
No, no, no, it is murder
No, no, no, it is murder
Oh... and who hears when animals cry?
