Intro
A   E7   G   D
           
Am            E7
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
G                     D
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Am                   E7
Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes,
G                       D
Death a certain harvest scattered from the skies.

Am                           E7
Skin and bones is creeping, doesn't know he's dead.
G                         D
Ancient eyes are peeping, from his infant head.
Am                 E7
Politician's argue sharpening their knives.
G                           D
Drawing up their Bargains, trading baby lives.
Am            E7
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
G                     D
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.

Am                          E7
Hear the bells are ringing, Christmas on it's way.
G                        D
Hear the angels singing, what is that they say?
Am                       E7
Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is here to stay.
G                   D
Jesus son of Mary is born again today.
Am            E7
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
G                      D
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Am             E7
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
G                      D
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
