I was walking around the corner of the [B]
square,
[A] [E]
I'm a ginger on a mountain of [B] kefir.
[A]
From the [E] other [B] direction,
[A] she was calling [E] my name.
It [A] could be [E] an [G#m] illusion, [A] but I might [E] as well try, might [B] as well try.

[E] And the woman was on her feet as it fell on [B] her shoes,
[A]
[E] She was in the [B] bathroom.
[A]
She walked on [E] the [B]
[A] pedoniums, tucked into her [E] room.
[A] I knew [E] right away she [A] was not like [E] other girls, [B] but
[A] She [E] could hear the peonies when the dealer got [B] run.
[A] [E] She stood by the door, but the truth [B] flew to blood.
[A] She picked [E] up my [A] matches, and [E] she closed it to run.
[A] And [F#] one of those [A] flashes, I think that [E] it was, I think that [B] it was.
[G] [F#] The light up in my head never did [B] long,
The cellar turned out [A] the way it does in the [Em] sun.
[E] But
[F#] nobody could get as strong as [B] I,
The strangest [E] of pieces together could not lie.

[E] I've been on with the way [B] she moves,
[A]
[E] Solid begonias, her touch of the [B] blues.
[E] [A]
There's [E] nothing wrong [B] with [A] the look that's in her [E] eyes.
[A] I had to [E] learn the hard way [A] to let her [E] pass by, let her [B] pass by.
