SHRINE - ROPES AND KNIVES
=========================
Composed by Bernard Parsons
Arranged by Ratter

This is a simple folky arrangement that only approximates the original.
Lyrics have been different in every version of this song so I just
shuffled together some of the verses I liked the most.

I hope the notation is intelligible -- the stacked lines of text
indicate different lyrics on each repetition; bars w/ numbers in
parentheses indicate different endings to a repeated musical phrase.
You should be able to figure it out by listening to the recording.

[verse 3]
In this world there is only work and disease
In this world we are crawling on our hands and knees
And in this world we are always alone
'Cos in this world we are only our own.

[final verse, sung w/ harmony]
In this world there are only ropes and knives
In this world there is only cut and bind
In this world there is only black and white
And in this world there is only, only night
And in this world you can never be free
'Cos in this world you are only a body.
