"The Passion of Lovers"
By: Bauhaus
Words and Music: Bauhaus
>From the album "Mask"
This song is very effective (and fun!) when played on an acoutic
twelve-string.
The intro. is a very simple alternation between the open E and D
strings, then fingering the F on the first fret of the E.
Have fun!
Em / G / Em / G
She had nut paEminted arms, that were her's to keep G
And in her fear, sEmhe sought cracked pleasures. G
EmThe passion of lovers is for death, said she, G
licked her lips, Emand turned to feather. G
EmAnd as I watched from underneath, G
I beEmcame aware of all that she'd keep. G
EmThose little foxes, so safe and sound, G
They were nEmot dead, they'd gone to ground. G
Chorus:
CThe passion of lovers isB for death, said shEme----- D C
The passion of lovers is fBor death. (repeatEm)
She breaks her heart just a little too much,
and her jokes attract the lucky, bad type.
And when she dips and whails and slips her banshee smile
She gets the bigger of the better to the letter.
(repeat chorus to end)
