Summer Cannibals by Patti Smith
Summer Cannibals
[Intro]
F G Am C G Am x 2
[Verse 1]
C G Am F G Am
I was down in Georgia nothing was as real
C G Am F G Am
As the street beneath my feet descending into air
C G Am F G Am
[Verse 2]
C G Am F G Am
The cauldron was a bubbling, the flesh was lean
C G Am F G Am
And the women moved forward like piranhas in a stream
C G Am F G Am
They spread themselves before me an offering so sweet
C G Am F G Am
And they beckoned and they beckoned come on darling eat
[Chorus]
F G Am C G Am
Eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat
F G Am C G Am
You eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat
[Verse 3]
C G Am F G Am
They circled around me natives in a ring
C G Am F G Am
And I saw their souls a-withering like snakes in chains
C G Am F G Am
And they wrapped themselves around me, what a treat
C G Am F G Am
And they rattled their tales hissing’ come on let’s eat
[Chorus]
F G Am C G Am
Eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat
F G Am C G Am
You eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat
[Instrumental]
F G Am C G Am x 4
[Verse 4]
C G Am F G Am
I felt a rising in my throat the girls a-saying grace
C G Am F G Am
And the air, the viscous air pressed against my face
C G Am F G Am
And it all got too damn much for me just got too damn rough
C G Am F G Am
And I pushed away my plate and said boys I've had enough
C G Am F G Am
And I laid upon the table another piece of meat
C G Am F G Am
And I opened up my veins to them and said come on eat
[Chorus]
F G Am C G Am
Eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat
F G Am C G Am
You eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat
F G Am C G Am
You eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat
F G Am C G Am
You eat the summer cannibals, eat eat eat
[Outro]
F G Am C G Am
‘Cause I was down in Georgia nothing was as real
F G Am C G Am
As the street beneath my feet descending into hell
F G Am
So eat eat eat
F G Am
You eat eat eat
F G Am
You eat eat eat
F G Am
Eat eat eat
