Jam Along & Learn...
I lit a thin [B] green [Bm] candle to [D]
make you jealous of [A] me.
But that room just filled up [A] with [Bm] mosquitoes.
They [D] heard that my body was [E] free.
Then [F#m] I took the dust of [C#m] a long sleepless night and I [D] put it in your little [A] shoe.
And then [Bm]
I confessed that [G] I tortured the dress that [Bm] you wore for the [A] world to look [G] through.
[A]
I showed my heart to the [Bm] doctor.
[D] He said I'd just have to quit.
Then he wrote himself a [Bm] prescription and [D] your name was mentioned in [E] it.
Then [F#] he locked himself in a [C#m] library shelf with [D] the details of our [A] honeymoon.
And I [Bm] hear from the nurse that [G] he's gotten much worse and [Bm] his practice [A] is all in a ruin.
I [A]
heard of a saint who had loved [Bm] you.
So I [D] studied all night in [A] his school.
He taught that the duty [Bm] of lovers is to [D]
tarnish the [E] golden rule.
And just [F#m] when I was sure that [C#m] his teachings were pure, he [D]
drowned himself in the [A]
pool.
His [Bm]
body is gone, [G] but back here on the lawn his [Bm]
spirit [A] continues [G] to drool.
[A]
An Eskimo showed me [Bm] a movie he'd [D]
recently taken [A] of you.
The poor man could hardly [Bm] stop shivering.
[D] His lips and his fingers [E] were blue.
I [F#m]
suppose that he froze when [C#m] the wind took your clothes.
And [D] I guess he just never [A] got warm.
But [Bm] you stand there so nice [G] in your blizzard of ice.
Oh, [B] please let me [A] come into [G] the storm.
