SUSPECT FLED THE SCENE
by PEDRO THE LION

Intro: C,  C7,  F,  Fm   x2

C        C7 
Old friend, 
      Fadd4    Em       Dm        Am      G  
your horse is ready to ride when morning comes.
C                 C7
From this church town, 
       Fadd4   Em      Dm       Am   G        G/G# 
where damning rumors drip from holy tongues.

Am       C     Fadd4 
It wont go away.
Am       C     Fadd4
It wont go away.
Am       C     Fadd4 Em Dm Am G
It wont go away...

C     C7      Fadd4   Em       Dm       Am       G                         
The fever to find a scapegoat fast and fix the blame.
C    C7      Fadd4  Em       Dm       Am      G     G/G#
I know, you never meant to leave the way you came.

Am       C     Fadd4
It wont go away.
Am       C     Fadd4
It wont go away.
Am       C     Fadd4 Em Dm Am G   C
It wont go away...

Em      F                C                C7
Lookin down from there stained glass steeple.
Em              F    C             G 
They'll never know why you had to run.

Am                   C                       Fadd4  
Ride as fast as you can, they're shootin to kill...
Ride as fast as you can, they're shootin to kill...
Ride as fast as you can, they're shootin to kill...
Am                   C                       Fadd4 Em Dm Am G  
Ride as fast as you can, they're shootin to kill...

Fadd4 = x33210

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques

	i think this song is about hypocritical christians who gossip and tear each other down and finally some one got sick of it and left.

	You ever heard the saying that Christians have a bad habit of killing their wounded? I use to say that, with a sense of removal and superiority. After all, I'm open-minded and accepting. I understand fully that our sins are equal in God's eyes. But a part of me still felt elevated above these pharasaical litigators offering no quarter for the recurrent sinner. It's only been lately that I realized that the legalists throwing around rules and judgment are the wounded too, and act out of defensiveness or a desire for control- and I've been more than willing to condemn them. Simple message- always be compassionate. If only understanding it were the same as DOING it.

	This song is great, one of my favourites.

No Picture Johan Average	#5 by Johan Soderberg at May 1, 2000 at 10:42 AM EST
	I think it's about this guy running from christianity, and all these "perfect" christians dont understand it, or try to help. "looking down from that stain glass steeple" It's like they are higher up, instead of trying to connect with you on the same level to help you.

	"Never meant to leave the way you came" to me says it best. Mainstream religion has a real complex about controlling their followers, and I think this particular person came into the Church with the idea that it would make them more free from damnation, but then realized that once you are inside you are less free. Unless you are a person who just happens to agree with every single aspect, you are shunned.

	The first time I heard this song, it felt like it was about homosexuality to me. "Damning rumors" referring to the (Bullshit) in the bible about condemning the gay to hell, and then "Find a scapegoat fast." Never meant to leave the way you came, the ridiculous gay conversion, and "It won't go away," the fact that you're attracted to males. But that's really just me. It's what came to mind when I heard the song.
