Here's yet another from Tom Russell's "Borderland" - Touch of Evil Intro: G C/G x2 G C G C/G The night my baby left me I crossed the bridge to Juarez avenue
CLike that Gmovie "Touch of evil" CI got the Orson Wells, Marlene Dietrich Gblues CWhere Orson Gwalks in to the whore house and CMarlene says "Man, you look GlikC/Ge hell" And Orson's Gchewing on a chocolate bar as the lC/Gights go on in the old Blue Star hotel "ReaCd my future" says old Orson, "down inside the tea Bmleaves of your cup" And she says &Amquot;You ain't got no future, Hank, CI believe your fDuture's all used Gup"
Why don't you Ctouch me anymore' Why don't you Gtouch me anymore' D G (G7) Why do you run away and hide' You know it hurts me deep inside Why do you Cclose the bedroom door' This is a Gbrutal little war What good is Dall this fightin' for if you don't Ctouch me anyGmore'
G C/G (Chords like 1st verse, until notice) G C G C/G They shot "A touch of evil" in a Venice, California colony
CAnd I grew near Gthose dead canals where they filmed the Clongest pan shot ever Gmade C G C G C/G Now I'm thinking about the movie, the bar I'm in, the bridge, the Rio Grande Now I'm tGhinking about my baby and the C/Gborderline 'tween a woman and a man I was dCrunk as Orson Wells the night I crawled backwards out the Bmdoor I was Amscreaming "Baby, Cbaby how comeD you touch mGe anymore'"
CHORUS: G C/G x3 (Chords like 2nd verse) G C G C/G Oh, someone rolled the credits on twenty years of love turned dark and raw
Not a Ctechnicolor lGove film, it's a Cbrutal document, it's film Gnoir C G C G C/G And it's all played out on a borderline and the actors are tragically miscast Like a Mexican burGlesk show where the C/Gcharacters are wearing comic masks Oh, it's Clove and love alone I cry to the barmen in this Juarez waterBmhole As we raise a Amglass to Orson and C"A touch of eDvil" lGivin' our souls
CHORUS: Outro: G C/G x3 G
