E7                                              D   A
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you been putting me through
You took my money and my cigarettes
I haven’t seen the worst of it                                                 
C                         G            D         A  A7      
I wanna know, can you tell me why won’t you stay
                E7       D A          E7                    D A  
Take me to the river,           Drop me in the water 
E7                     D A            E7                    D A  
Take me to the river.                   Dip me in the water     Washing me down
E7                     D A  
Washing me down

I don't know why you treated me so bad
Think about the  things we could have had
Love is emotion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret
C                         G            D         A  A7
Oh wanna know, can you tell me I'd love to stay

chorus
Push me to the river.                   Dip me in the water     Washing me down
E7              C#m            A              C#m          A                D              
Washing me      Hold me Love me Please me  tease me     Til I Can’t Til I Can’t
[Solo] 

I don't know why I love you like I do
After the changes you put me through
The sixteen candles burn on my wall
Then tell me who is the biggest fool of them all
Oh wanna know, can you tell me I'd love to stay      
[Chorus]

LYRICS
Q: Oui, we?
A: Yes. We are us…
No matter the country
Time humanity adjusts
Eagles Of Death Metal
Soaring high… peace for all
Raptor rapture… a religious nature
Not a single fool
Graduates from Mother Nature’s school
Humor and wit model
Love — the fundamental tool
Inclusive nation foundation
Built on solid rock
You want in? Just knock

“What I did, that evening
What she said, that evening
Fulfilling my hope
Headlong I go for glory… OK”
Nope. Run, run, run runaway!
We, oui. Oui, we.
Psycho killers are dangerous to us
If we become what we hate, it’s too late
Don’t wanna be a psycho killer, too
Nooooo, not me. How ’bout you?
We, oui!

Oui We.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Style: ExperiMental Music
Chords: [capo2] E Am / E E7 Am Am7 / B E
Rhythm: Mixed Latin Heavy Metal with some at 104 BPM
Recording: digital 1-track stereo

Inspired by the attack on Paris, France and the fans at an “Eagles Of Death Metal” concert. The song is about psycho killings. Individuals who murder are psycho. It’s not about beliefs, race or religion. You have to be nuts to murder someone.

Additional lyrics are from the Talking Heads’ song “Psycho Killer” (originally in French):
Ce que j’ai fait, ce soir-là
Ce qu’elle a dit, ce soir-là
Réalisant mon espoir
Je me lance vers la gloire… OK

Daniel — Vocals, Martin Guitar, Keyboards, Synthesizers (microKorg, Yamaha PSR-740, Casio WK-3500, miniNova, and a couple pedals, as well as, DigiTech and Boss effects)
