Chords in this song4
Verse 1
Jesus hangs behind the glass
Above venetian doors
His window box boasts crimson flowers fresh cut the day before
And you couldn't find a smile
If you nailed it to his face
But Jesus Christ hangs his head with grace
Chorus
And if Venice is sinking
I'm going under
'Cause beauty's religion
C G (C - F - G - Am - G)
And it's christened me with wonder
Verse 2
They come in bent-backed
Creeping 'cross the floor all dressed in black
Candles, thick as pillars, you can buy one off the floor
And the ceiling's painted gold
Mary's hair is red
The old come here to kiss their dead
Chorus
And if Venice is sinking
I'm going under
'Cause beauty's religion
And it's christened me with wonder
Bridge
F - G - F - Am - G - C
Verse 3
We made love on a bed
That sagged down to the floor
In a room that had a postcard on the door
Of Marini's Little Man
With an erection on a horse
It always leaves me laughing, leaves me feeling that, of course
Chorus
If Venice is sinking
I'm going under
'Cause beauty's religion
And it's christened me with wonder
If Venice is sinking
I'm going under
'Cause beauty's religion
And it's christened me with wonder
