          C
I've been fondling with your heart strings
           C
And that's good enough for me
         Am
And if I break over your house
      Am
And I know I must been working
       C
Try it on for size my darling
           C
See what a man you can make of me
        Am
I will eventually haunt you
            Am
And you'll eventually will be my queen,

              Em
And I've been with you through the dark
            F
So that you won't
   G                 C       C
Go through the dark alone
        Am           Am
On your own

          C
I've been down Biloxi Parish
           C
And that's good enough for me
             Am
I found that nothing truly matters
         Am
That you cannot find for free
           C
I love you more than can I tell you
         C
When you pass through from this world
           Am
I hope you ask to take me with you
     Am
So I don't have to wait too long

      Em                                    F
But until then I'll be with you through the dark
      Em                                    F
Yes until then I'll be with you through the dark

G            Am           F                 C
Who else can say that about you, baby?
G            Am           F                 C
Who else can say that about you, now?
G            Am           F                 C
Who else can say all your blood and your curses
G            Am       F       C
Nobody I've seen a hanging around
       G
Seen a hanging around

A E F G (x2)
C C
       C
I aint seen my home in half a year
          C
I miss my mother and my friends
      Am
With Maria I've been praying
         Am
For that trouble to finally end
         C
But when this whole thing is over
       C
And we land in Ashbury's arms
        Am
And the bands all quiet down
         Am
And it's you and me in the dark
            Em
I won't say nothing
                           F   G
Cuz that's how I know your heart
            Em
I won't say nothing
                           F   G
Cuz that's how I know your heart

G            Am           F                 C
Who else can say that about you, baby?
G            Am           F                 C
Who else can say that about you, now?
G            Am           F                 C
Who else can say all your blood and your curses
G            Am       F       C
Nobody I've seen a hanging around
       G
Seen a hanging around
G            Am           F                 C
Who else can say that about you, baby?
G            Am           F                 C
Who else can say that about you, now?
G            Am           F                 C
Who else can say all your blood and your curses
G            Am       F       C
Nobody I've seen a hanging around
       G
Seen a hanging around
