CAPO 1. FRET

1.
^E Even if I am in love with you all
^Esus4 this to say what's it to you? Ob-
^F#msus4 serve the blood the rose tatoo of the
^Aadd2 fingerprints on me from you.
^E other evidence has shown that
^Esus4 you and I are still alone we
^F#msus4 skirt around the danger zone and don't
^Aadd2 talk about it later.


CHORUS
^Em7 Marlene watches from the walls
^Cmaj7 her mocking ^C6 smile says it all
^Bm7sus4 as she records ^Bm7 the rise and
^Cmaj7 fall of every soldier passing
^Em7 but the only soldier now is me
^Cmaj7 I'm fighting things ^C6 I cannot
^Bm7sus4 see. I think its ^Bm7 called my desti-
^G/C ny but ^D/C I ^G/C am ^Cmaj9 changing
^D Marlene on the wall
^Cmaj7 | ^D | ^Cmaj7 (Well I)


2.
^E Walk to your house in the afternoon by the
^Esus4 butcher shop with the saw-dust strewn
^F#msus4 "don't give away the goods too soon" is
^Aadd2 what you might have told me and I
^E tried so hard to resist when you
^Esus4 held me in your handsome fist and re
^F#msus4 minded me of the night we kissed and of
^Aadd2 why I should be leaving
