Sounds Expensive chords by Stephin Merritt
Verse 1
D
I would like for you to have this emerald ring
G
Em
It was crafted many years
before the Ming
D
G
D
Since the story's far too sad to tell I'll sing
Em
It was made for the blind concubine
G
Lonely Lee
Em
A
Who was famous for being a little choosy
D
Em
Her rejections were something
no man could survive
D
G
D
So the ringmaker had himself buried alive.
A
D
Em
It's a terrible tem ple of
passion and gore
A
G
That sure sounds expensive,
D
A
we can't wait to hear more.
D
Em
G
In a few generations it came to a monk
Em
A
Who said things of this world
G
A
are all bubbles and junk
D
Em
So he gave it to lo -la -lo,
some general's wife
A
G
Which was quickly discovered
D
A
he paid with his life.
D
Em
It's a town full of violence,
a thing we deplore
A
G
But it sounds expensive,
D
A
D
what are you stopping for?
A
D
Em
A bad playwright gave it to
G
his new ingenue
Em
A
The impossibly bad actress,
sweet Lola Lou
Em
D
Em
But the playwright said something
he shouldn't have said
D
G
And now both the playwright
D
Em
and the actress are dead
A
D
Em
It's the kind of thing
no one can make anymore
G
And it sounds expensive
A
D
when it falls to the floor.
