Tom Russell - Touch of evil

The ^Gnight my baby left me I ^Ccrossed the bridge to Juarez a^Gvenu^C/Ge ^CLike that ^Gmovie "Touch of evil" I got the ^COrson Wells, Marlene Dietrich ^Gblues ^CWhere Orson ^Gwalks in to the whore house and ^CMarlene says "Man, you look like ^Ghel^C/Gl" And Orson's ^Gchewing on a chocolate bar as the l^C/Gights go on in the old Blue Star hotel "Read my ^Cfuture" says old Orson, "down inside the tea leaves of your ^Bmcup" And she says "^AmYou ain't got no future, Hank, ^CI believe your f^Duture's all used ^Gup"

Why don't you ^Ctouch me anymore? Why don't you ^Gtouch me anymore? G7 ^D Why d^Go 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 any^Gmore?

They ^Gshot "A touch of evil" in a ^CVenice, California colo^Gny^{C/G C}And I grew near ^Gthose dead canals where they filmed the ^Clongest pan shot ever ^Gmade ^CNow I'm thinking a^Gbout the movie, the ^Cbar I'm in, the bridge, the Rio ^GGrande^C/G Now I'm t^Ghinking about my baby and the ^C/Gborderline 'tween a woman and a man I was d^Crunk as Orson Wells the night I crawled backwards out the ^Bmdoor I was ^Amscreaming "Baby, baby ^Chow come you ^Dtouch me any^Gmore?"

Why don't you ^Ctouch me anymore? Why don't you ^Gtouch me anymore? G7 ^D Why d^Go 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 any^Gmore?

Oh, some^Gone rolled the credits on ^Ctwenty years of love turned dark and ^Graw^C/G Not a ^Ctechnicolor l^Gove film, it's a ^Cbrutal document, it's film ^Gnoir And it's ^Call played out on a ^Gborderline and the ^Cactors are tragically mis^Gcas^C/Gt Like a Mexican bur^Glesk show where the ^C/Gcharacters are wearing comic masks Oh, it's ^Clove and love alone I cry to the barmen in this Juarez water^Bmhole As we raise a ^Amglass to Orson and ^C"A touch of evil" ^Dlivin' our ^Gsouls

Why don't you ^Ctouch me anymore? Why don't you ^Gtouch me anymore? G7 ^D Why d^Go 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 any^Gmore?
