Verse 1
Ah the man (D major) she
wanted all her life was (E major) hanging by a thread
"I (E minor) never even knew (A major) how much
I wanted (G major) you," she said. (D major)
His muscles they were numbered
and his style (E major) was obsolete.
"O (E minor) baby, I have come (A major) too late."
She knelt (G major) beside his feet. (D major)
"I'll never see a face like yours
in years (E major) of men to come
I'll (E minor) never see such (A major) arms again
in wrestling (G major) or in love." (D major)
And all his virtues burning in
the smoky (E major) Holocaust
She took (E minor) unto herself (A major) most
everything (G major) her lover lost (D major) (B minor)
Now the master of this landscape
he was standing at the view
With a sparrow (E minor) of St. Francis
that he was preaching to
She beckoned (F sharp minor) to the sentry of
his high religious mood
She said, "I'll (E minor) make a place
between (E flat major) my legs,
I'll (E flatdim) show (D major) you (G major) solitude." (D major)

Verse 2
He (D major) offered her an orgy in
a many (E major) mirrored room
He (E minor) promised her protection (A major)
for the (G major) issue of her (D major) womb
She moved her body hard against
a sharpened (E major) metal spoon
She stopped (E minor) the bloody rituals (A major) of (G major) passage to the

Verse 3
She took (D major) his much admired
orient (E major) al frame of mind
And the heart-of-darkness (E minor) alibi
alibi alibi (A major) his money (G major) hides behind
(D major) She took his blonde Madonna
and his monastery (E major) wine
"This mental (E minor) space is occu
(A major) pied and (G major) everything is mine."

(D major)
Verse 4
He tried (D major) to make a final stand be
side (E major) the railway track
She said, "The (E minor) art of long (A major) ing's over
and it's never (G major) coming back (D major) ."
She took his tavern parliament,
his (E major) cap, his cocky dance,
She mocked (E minor) his female fash (A major) ions and
his (G major) working-class mustache.

mustache.
(D major) (B minor)
Verse 5
The (B minor) last time that I saw him
he was trying hard to get
A wo (E minor) man's education but
he's not a woman yet
And the last (F sharp minor) time that I saw her
she was living with some boy
Who gives (E minor) her soul an empty room
(B major) and gives (G major) her body (E minor) joy.
Interlude 5
(A major)
(G major) So (A major) the great
Verse 6
(D major) affair is over but
who (E major) ever would have guessed
It would (E minor) leave us all so va (A major) cant
and so deeply (G major) unimpressed
(D major) It's like our visit to the
moon or (E major) to that other star
I guess (E minor) you go for (A major) nothing if you (G major) really
want to go that (D major) far.
Interlude 6

Verse 7
It's (D major) like our visit to the moon
or to (E major) that other star
I guess (E minor) you go for nothing (A major) if you (G major) really
want to go that (D major) far.

I guess (E minor) you go for noth (A major) ing if
