Choose a fret
             
 There is some noise in for a minute or so before the bass enters.
 Then this is played with the bass.
 
 Use a Wah-Wah pedal.

 Lyrics:
 
 Yeah
 Dolls of voodoo all stuck with pins
 One for each of us and our sins
 So you lay us in a line
 Push your pins, they make us humble
 Only you can tell in time
 If we`ll fall or merely stumble
 
 But tell me
 Can you heal what father`s done
 Or fix this hole in mother`s son
 Can you heal the broken worlds within
 Can you strip away so we may start again
 Tell me, can you heal what father`s done
 Or cut this rope and let us un
 Just when all seems fine and I`m pain free
 You jab another pin
 Jab another pin in me
 
 Mirror, mirror upon the wall
 Break the spell or become the doll
 See you sharpening the pins
 So the holes will remind us
 We`re just the toys in the hands of another
 And in time needles turn from shine to rust
 
 But tell me
 Can you heal what father`s done
 Or fix the hole in mother`s son
 Can you heal the broken worlds within
 Can you strip away so we may start again
 Tell me, can you heal what father`s done
 Or cut this rope and let us run
 Just when all seems fine and I`m pain free
 You jab another pin
 Jab another pin in me
 Jab it
 
 Blood for face
 Sweat for dirt
 Three x`s for the stone
 To break this curse
  ritual`s due
 I believe I`m not alone
 Shell of shotgun
 
 Pint of gin
 Numb us up to shield the pins
 Renew our faith which way we can
 To fall in love with life again
 To fall in love with life again
 To fall in love with life again
 To fall in love
 To fall in love
 To fall in love with life again
 
 So tell me
 Can you heal what father`s done
 Or fix the hole in mother`s son
 Can you heal the broken worlds within
 Can you strip away so we may start again
 Yeah, tell me, can you heal what father`s done
 Or cut this rope and let us run
 Just when all seems fine and I`m pain free
 You jab another pin
 Jab another pin in me
 Oh yeah
 
 No more pins in me, yeah
 No more, no more pins in me
 No more, no more pins in me
 No more, no more, no more
 No, no, no
