touch of evil chords by

Verse 1
G
C
G
C
G

The night my baby left me
C
G

I crossed the bridge to Juarez avenue
C

Like that movie "Touch of evil" I got the Orson Wells,
G

Marlene Dietrich blues

Where Orson walks in to

the whore house and
C
G

Marlene says "Man, you look like hell"

And Orson's chewing on

a chocolate bar
C

As the lights go on in the
G

old Blue Star hotel
C

"Read my fu ture" says old Orson,

"down inside the tea leaves of your cup"
Bm
C
Am

And she says "You ain't
C

got no future, Hank,
D

I believe your future's
G

all used up"
Verse 2
C

[Chorus] Why don't you

touch me anymore? Why
G

don't you touch me anymore?
D

Why do you run away and hide?
G

You know it hurts me deep inside
C

Why do you close the bedroom
G

door? This is a brutal little war
D

What good is all this fightin' for if
C

you don't touch me anymore?
G
Verse 3
C

They shot "A touch of evil" in a Venice,
G

California colony

And I grew near those dead canals
C

Where they filmed the longest
G

pan shot ever made

Now I'm thinking about the movie,
C
G

the bar I'm in, the bridge, the Rio Grande

Now I'm thinking about my baby and the
C
G

borderline 'tween a woman and a man
C

I was drunk as Orson Wells the night
Bm

I crawled backwards out the door
C
Am

I was screaming "Baby,
C

baby how come you touch me anymore?"
D

Verse 4

[Chorus] Oh,
G
D
C
G

C
G
C
G

someone rolled the credits
C
G

on twenty years of love turned dark and raw

Not a technicolor love film,
C
G

it's a brutal document, it's film noir

And it's all played out on a borderline
C
G

and the actors are tragically miscast

Like a Mexican burlesque show where the
C
G

characters are wearing comic masks
C

Oh, it's love and love alone I cry to the
Bm

barmen in this Juarez waterhole
Am

As we raise a glass to Orson and "A
C

touch of evil" livin' our souls
D

[Chorus]

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
