intro : A
A Bm
i lit a thin green candle
D A
to make you jealous of me .
A Bm
the room filled up with mosquitos
D E
they heard that my body was free
F#m C#m
and i took the dust of a long sleepless night
D A
and i put it in your little shoe
Bm G
and i must confess that i tortured the dress
Bm A G A
that you wore for the world to look through .
A Bm
and i showed my heart to the doctor
D A
he said , you just have to quit
A Bm
then he wrote himself a prescription
A E
and your name was mentioned in it
F#m C#m
then he locked himself in a library shelf
D A
with the details of our honeymoon
Bm G
i hear from the nurse that hes gotten much worse
Bm A G A
and his practice is all in a ruin .
A Bm
i once knew a saint who had loved you
D A
i studied all night in his school
A Bm
he taught that the duty of lovers
D E
was to tarnish the golden rule .
F#m C#m
and just when i was sure that his teachings were pure
D A
he drowned himself in the pool
Bm G
his body is gone , but out here on the lawn
Bm A G A
his spirit continues to drool .
A Bm
an eskimo showed me a movie
D A
hed recently taken of you
A Bm
the poor man could hardly stop shivering
A E
his lips and his fingers were blue
F#m C#m
i suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes
D A
and i guess he just never got warm
Bm G
but you stand there so nice , in your blizzard of ice
Bm A G A
please let me come into your storm .
then replay the stanza and hum or ooo the tune ending with Am .
