Intro 1
(D major)
Verse 1
Feet hit the ground (D major) feet leavin' town
quicker than a bullet (C major) or a knife (D major)
Fallin' ain't no fun (G major) when you're on the run
(D major) honey we was (C major) running for our (D major) life
When (G major) Stagger Lee had drunk
his fill of (D major) moonlight
He (G major) turned his burning eyes upon my (D major) soul
It's (G major) time my God to spend this night
with (D major) someone else he said
Squeeze a little (C major) pleasure from
the gold (D major) love and glory
We can take it (C major) easy when we're (D major) old
He said we'll take us into
town lay our money down
I'll bring you to the (C major) sweetest
thing that grows (D major)
Because the fairest ones in sight
are (G major) bloomin' every night
At a (D major) tavern called the Sabre (C major)
and the Rose (D major)
We swang (G major) into the saddle
sick as (D major) breathing
And (G major) slapped 'em once
for pleasure with the re (D major) ins
The (G major) horses snorted frosty in
the moon (D major) light
Somethin' dark was (C major) singing in my (D major) veins older
than the voices (C major) in my (D major) brain (C major) (G major) (D major)
He said this place you're gonna see
is why they live and breathe
And sink down a little bit (C major) deeper everyday
(D major) And sometimes at night
when the (G major) wind is running right (C major)
(G major) You can (D major) hear it suckin' (C major) thirty miles away (D major)
(G major) Then the light was crimson and I (D major) found her all
(G major) naked and eternal and in (D major) sane (G major)
Secred as the mysteries around (D major) her like a veil
nothin' but her (C major) prison was pro (D major) fane
All we had in (C major) common was our (D major) chains (C major)
(G major) Oh burn it down (D major) boys (C major) (G major) burn it to
the ground (D major) boys burn it on down
Feet hit the ground feet leavin' town
quicker than a bul (C major) let or a knife (D major)
All there was she ran (C major) (G major) holdin' to my
hand (D major) runnin' for the (C major) river and our (D major) life
(G major) Slidin' from the moonlight into
(D major) shadows (G major) silent as the river as it (D major) flows
(G major) Swimmin' to the place they'll never (D major) find
us all we left be (C major) hind us was our (D major) clothes
And the stories children sing about
the Sabre (C major) and the Rose
