Intro: A5
A5 B5
I lit a thin green candle
D5 A5
To make you jealous of me.
A5 B5
The room filled up with mosquitos
D5 E5
They heard that my body was free
F#5 C#5
And I took the dust of a long sleepless night
D5 A5
And I put it in your little shoe
B5 G5
And I must confess that I tortured the dress
B5 A5 G5 A5
That you wore for the world to look through.
A5 B5
And I showed my heart to the doctor
D5 A5
He said, ?You just have to quit?
A5 B5
Then he wrote himself a prescription
A5 E5
And your name was mentioned in it
F#5 C#5
Then he locked himself in a library shelf
D5 A5
With the details of our honeymoon
B5 G5
I hear from the nurse that he?s gotten much worse
B5 A5 G5 A5
And his practice is all in a ruin.
A5 B5
I once knew a saint who had loved you
D5 A5
I studied all night in his school
A5 B5
He taught that the duty of lovers
D5 E5
Was to tarnish the golden rule.
F#5 C#5
And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure
D5 A5
he drowned himself in the pool
B5 G5
his body is gone, but out here on the lawn
B5 A5 G5 A5
his spirit continues to drool.
A5 B5
An Eskimo showed me a movie
D5 A5
He?d recently taken of you
A5 B5
The poor man could hardly stop shivering
A5 E5
His lips and his fingers were blue
F#5 C#5
I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes
D5 A5
And I guess he just never got warm
B5 G5
But you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice
B5 A5 G5 A5
Please let me come into your storm.
Then replay the stanza and hum or Ooo the tune ending with Am.
