[Bm] [Gm] [G]
[C]
I was sitting in a corner booth [F] down at the loser's end
[G] When this raven had beauty of my eye
As she [C] walked in, she looked so blue and lonely
[F] So I asked her to have a chair
We [G] talked and danced while the jukebox played
A song called the [C] Maiden's Prayer
The liquor emotions hit us [F] like a hard flash in the night
[G] It led us to my motel room where we held each [C] other tight
Between the kisses and the passions, [F] I turned out the lights
[G] Then I found myself whispering
Help me mate through the [C] night
And she said
[Dm] That [C] [F] [Dm] is [F] in tune [C] but never been played
[G] So touch my strings with feeling
Cause I'm a little bit [C] afraid
[F] These satin sheets feel so cold
[C] But my body is willing warm
[G] So be honest with my heart
When you hold me in [C] your arms
[Em] [G]
[C] [G#]
[C#] Now she lies here by my side
[F#] In the bright morning light
[G#] But I'm trying to remember
What I promised her [C#] last night
Guess I'll leave before she wakes up
[F#] So I won't see her tears
[G#] While I'm putting on my clothes
Her voice is ringing in [C#] my ears
I'm [F#] a [C#] [F#] body's in tune [C#] but never been played
[G#] So touch my strings with feeling
Cause I'm a little bit [C#] afraid
[F#] These satin sheets feel so cold
But [C#] my body is willing warm
So [G#] be honest with my heart
When you hold me in [C#] your arms
I'm [F#] a body's in tune [C#] but never been played
[A#m] [G#] So touch my strings with feeling
Cause I'm a little bit [C#] afraid
[B] [C#] [F#] These satin sheets feel so cold
But [C#] my body is willing warm
[G#] So be honest with my heart
When you hold me in [C#] your arms
So [G#] be honest with my heart
When you hold me in [C#] your arms
[G#] [C#] [N]
