LET IT BLEED, GENEVIEVE - John Phillips
Tabbed by: psychedelicious

This is my favorite John Phillips song... he just pours his heart out. The song talks
how Phillips' wife, Genevieve, lay upstairs in their house as he lay, unconscious, on the
below, after a drug binge. The whole of the album (John Phillips, Wolf King of L.A.)
with Phillips' drug addiction. Truly a lost gem.
