Verse 1
(F major) Many men have (C major) loved the bells
you fastened (F major) to the (C major) reins
And (A minor) everyone who (D minor) wanted you,
they (A minor) found what they will al
(G major) ways want (F major) again. (G major)
Your (B minor) beauty lost to (E minor) you yourself,
just (B minor) as it is lost to them.
(E minor) Oh, (C major) take this longing from (G major) my heart,
All (C major) the useless things these
hands (G major) have done,
And (C major) let me see your beauty broken (G major) down
As (B minor) you would (C major) do for one you (G major) loved
Your body, (F major) like a searchlight,
(C major) my (F major) own poverty reveals (C major)
How (A minor) I would love to try (D minor) your charity,
until (A minor) you cry
Now (G major) you (F major) must try (G major) my greed
An (B minor) d everything depends (E minor) upon
How (B minor) near you sleep to me (E minor)
Oh, (C major) take this longing from my (G major) heart
All (C major) the useless things
these hand (G major) s have done
Let (C major) me see your beauty broken down (G major) (B minor)
As you would (C major) do for one you (G major) love (F major)
As hungry as an (C major) archway
Through (F major) which the troops have (C major) passed
I stand (A minor) in ruins behind (D minor) you
With your (A minor) win ter cloak
And your broken (G major) san (F major) dal (G major) strap
I (B minor) love to see you naked (E minor) over there,
(B minor) es pecially from the (E minor) back.
Take (C major) this longing from my (G major) heart,
all (C major) the lonely things these
hand (G major) s have done.
Untie (C major) my blue silk (G major) gown (B minor)
As you (C major) would do
For one you love (G major) (F major) (C major) (G major)
For you're (F major) faithful to my (C major) better self
I'm (F major) afraid, she'd (C major) let you
(A minor) Let me judge your love (D minor) affair
In this very (A minor) room
Where you have sentenced
(G major) mine (F major) to death (G major)
(B minor) Look, I'll even wear these
old (E minor) laurel leaves
That you've (B minor) shaken from your (E minor) hair
Or take (C major) this longing from my (G major) tongue
All the useless (C major) lonely things
these hands (G major) have done
Let (C major) me see your beauty broken (G major) down (B minor)
(C major) As you would do for one you (G major) love (F major)
(C major) As you would do for one you love.
(G major)
