Verse 1
G 
F 
Em 
Pacing through
A 
the flickering light
C 
A velvet patch upon his eye
His pacing creaks
F 
Dm 
the floorboards loose
F 
As he tailors his thoughts
G 
for the truth around truths
F#m 
But his butler keeps eyes
Em 
through a hole in the door
F#m 
What the butler don't see ain't
Em 
a lot that's for sure
Francesca lays across the couch
A 
They fight with words
from mouth to mouth
C 
F 
Dm 
And then with handfuls of her flesh
F 
See how the zipper broke off
Dm 
G 
A 
of her dress
F#m 
Strangling her neck with his
Em 
hands in her gloves
F#m 
The port  and the brandy
Em 
mix cocktails of  love

Verse 2
D 
F# 
The porch light, the torchlight
G 
Em 
The frosted morning lawn
D 
Bm 
The cloak of daylight has
Em 
C 
finally been drawn
Bm 
E 
A 
On the tale of what the butler saw
F#m 
G 
F

Verse 3
A 
He kept his world all to himself
C 
And locked it tight inside his belt
F 
But she preferred his belt undone
Dm 
F 
She bathed in his
G 
fortune but never his fun
F#m 
He cracked on a mixture
Em 
of opera and drink
F#m 
The butler still fetches
Em 
and carries for him

Verse 4
The butler dragged down to
the lake
A 
Francesca's body in a cape
C 
F 
Dm 
No private eye was gonna trace this
F 
The old man was shaking,
G 
his marbles were missed
F#m 
The shadows and footprints
A 
Em 
and flickering lights
A 
F#m 
Em 
The butler's up late  with a cold in his eye
