[Chorus]
Am              E
  Ivory Madonna, dying in the dust
G                      D                   E
 Waiting for the manna coming from the west
Am                    E
  Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes
G                        D                       E
 Death a certain harvest scattered from the skies

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 1]
Am
  Skin and bones is creeping,
E
 doesn't know he's dead
G
 Ancient eyes are peeping,
D                   E
from his infant head
Am                 E
  Politicians argue sharpening their knives
G
 Drawing up their bargains,
D                 E
trading baby lives

[Chorus]
Am              E
  Ivory Madonna, dying in the dust
G                      D                   E
 Waiting for the manna coming from the west

[Verse 2]
Am
  Hear the bells are ringing,
E
 Christmas on it's way
G
 Hear the angels singing,
D                     E
what is that they say?
Am
  Eat and drink rejoicing,
E
 joy is hear to stay
G                     D               E
 Jesus son of Mary is born again today

[Chorus]
Am              E
  Ivory Madonna, dying in the dust
G                      D                   E
 Waiting for the manna coming from the west
Am              E
  Ivory Madonna, dying in the dust
G                      D                   E
 Waiting for the manna coming from the west
