Here's yet another from Tom Russell's "Borderland" - Touch of Evil Intro: F F/C x2 F F F C/F The night my baby left me I crossed the bridge to Juarez avenue
FLike that Fmovie "Touch of evil" FI got the Orson Wells, Marlene Dietrich Fblues FWhere Orson Fwalks in to the whore house and FMarlene says "Man, you look FlikF/Ce hell" And Orson's Fchewing on a chocolate bar as the lF/Cights go on in the old Blue Star hotel "ReaFd my future" says old Orson, "down inside the tea Emleaves of your cup" And she says &Dmquot;You ain't got no future, Hank, FI believe your fGuture's all used Fup"
Why don't you Ftouch me anymore? Why don't you Ftouch me anymore? G F (C7) Why do you run away and hide? You know it hurts me deep inside Why do you Fclose the bedroom door? This is a Fbrutal little war What good is Gall this fightin' for if you don't Ftouch me anyFmore?
F F/C (Chords like 1st verse, until notice) F F F C/F They shot "A touch of evil" in a Venice, California colony
FAnd I grew near Fthose dead canals where they filmed the Flongest pan shot ever Fmade F F F F F/F Now I'm thinking about the movie, the bar I'm in, the bridge, the Rio Grande Now I'm tFhinking about my baby and the F/Cborderline 'tween a woman and a man I was dFrunk as Orson Wells the night I crawled backwards out the Emdoor I was Dmscreaming "Baby, Fbaby how comeG you touch mFe anymore?"
CHORUS: F F/C x3 (Chords like 2nd verse) F F F C/F Oh, someone rolled the credits on twenty years of love turned dark and raw
Not a Ftechnicolor lFove film, it's a Fbrutal document, it's film Fnoir F F F F F/F And it's all played out on a borderline and the actors are tragically miscast Like a Mexican burFlesk show where the F/Ccharacters are wearing comic masks Oh, it's Flove and love alone I cry to the barmen in this Juarez waterEmhole As we raise a Dmglass to Orson and F"A touch of eGvil" lFivin' our souls
CHORUS: Outro: F F/C x3 F
