Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) The night (G major) my baby left me
I crossed (C major) the bridge to Juarez aven (G major) ue
Like that movie "Touch of evil" I got the (C major) Orson Wells,
Marlene Dietrich (G major) blues
Where Orson walks in to
the whore house and
(C major) Marlene says "Man, you look like (G major) hell"
And Orson's chewing on
a chocolate bar
As the (C major) lights go on in the
old Blue Star hotel (G major)
"Read my (C major) fu ture" says old Orson,
"down inside the tea leaves of your cup"
(B minor) And (C major) she says (A minor) "You ain't
got no future, Hank, (C major)
I believe your fu (D major) ture's
all (G major) used up"
Verse 2
[Chorus] Why don't you (C major)
touch me anymore? Why
don't you (G major) touch me anymore?
Why do you (D major) run away and hide?
You know it (G major) hurts me deep inside
Why do you (C major) close the bedroom
door? This is a (G major) brutal little war
What good is (D major) all this fightin' for if
you don't touch (C major) me anymore?
(G major)

Verse 3
They shot "A touch of evil" in a (C major) Venice,
California colony (G major)
And I grew near those dead canals
Where they (C major) filmed the longest
pan shot ever (G major) made
Now I'm thinking about the movie,
the bar (C major) I'm in, the bridge, the Rio Grande (G major)
Now I'm thinking about my baby and the
(C major) borderline 'tween a woman and a man (G major)
I was (C major) drunk as Orson Wells the night
I crawled backwards out the door (B minor)
(C major) I was screaming (A minor) "Baby,
baby (C major) how come you touch me anymore?"
(D major)
Interlude 1
(C major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(C major)
Verse 4
[Chorus] Oh, (C major)
(G major) (D major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (C major) someone (G major) rolled the credits
on (C major) twenty years of love turned dark and (G major) raw
Not a technicolor love film,
it's a (C major) brutal document, it's film noir (G major)
And it's all played out on a borderline
and the (C major) actors are tragically miscast (G major)
Like a Mexican burlesque show where the
(C major) characters are wearing comic masks (G major)
(C major) Oh, it's love and love alone I cry to the
barmen in this Juarez water (B minor) hole
As we (A minor) raise a glass to Orson and "A
(C major) touch of evil" livin' our souls
(D major) [Chorus]
Outro 1
(D major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(C major)
(G major) (D major) (C major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
