Intro: F5 G5 G5 F5


  F5             D5              Bb5           A5
I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love,
        F5           G5        C5
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night,
         F5          D5         Bb5          A5
And her hair, in a fine mist floats on my pillow,
    F5           G5          Bb5 C5        F5
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight.

        F5            D5          Bb5              A5
She is soft, she is warm , but my heart remains heavy,
        F5            G5            C5
And I watch as her breasts gently rise, gently fall,
       F5              D5            Bb5           A5
For I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving,
        F5           G5          Bb5         F5   
And tonight will be all I have left to recall.

     F5           D5    Bb5         A5
Oh, what have I done, why have I done it,
         F5        G5          C5
I've committed a crime, I've broken the law,
       F5         D5          Bb5       A5
For twenty-five dollars and pieces of silver,
    F5          G5       Bb5          F5
I held up and robbed a hard liquor store.

    F5            D5       Bb5        A5
My life seems unreal, my crime an illusion,
    F5          G5         C5
A scene badly written in which I must play,
       F5         D5         Bb5           A5      
Yet I know as I gaze at my young love beside me,
      F5         G5        Bb5 C5   F5
The morning is just a few hours away.
