(Guitar plays Cm, Gm, Cm, Gm over piano solo)
CmI found her on the night of fire and noise
GmWild bells rang ina wild sky
CmI knew from that moment on
Gm (riff 1 here)
That I would love her till the day that i died
CmAnd I kissed away a thousand tears
GmMy lady of the various sorrows
Cm (riff 2 here)
Some begged, some borrowed, some stolen
GmSo I kept some safe for tomorrow
CmOn an endless night silver star spangled
The C#bells from the chapel went Djingle-Djangle
CmDo BbYou GmLove Me? (Do You Love Me?)
CmDo BbYou GmLove Me? (Do You Love Me?)
CmDo BbYou GmLove Me? (Do You Love Me?)
CmDo BbYou FLove Me
Like i love Gmyou
Gm, Gm, Gm, Gm
Cm, Gm, Cm, Gm
CmShe was given to me to put things right.
GmAnd I stacked all of my accomplishments beside her.
CmYet I feel so obsolete and small
Gm (riff 1 here)
I found God and all his devils inside her.
CmIn my bed, she cast the blizzard out.
GmA mock sun blazed upon her head.
Cm (riff 2 here)
And so completely filled with light, she was
GmHer shadow fanged and hairy and mad.
CmOur love lines grew hopelessly tangled
And the bC#ells from the chapel went jDingle-jDangle
CmDo BbYou GmLove Me? (Do You Love Me?)
CmDo BbYou GmLove Me? (Do You Love Me?)
CmDo BbYou GmLove Me? (Do You Love Me?)
CmDo BbYou FLove Me
Like i love Gmyou
Gm, Gm, Gm, Gm
Cm, Gm, Cm, Gm
REPEAT!

In a Emdusty black coat and a red right hand Bm

This rCmambin and rovin has taken its course
I'm gGmrazing with the dinosaurs and the dear old horses
And the Cmcity streets crack and great hole forces me Gmdown
