Orpheus
(Engel)
Intro: G
G
Well, I'm back to make your face
Dm G
So it smiles once again
And harpoon you like a whale
C D
With a bent and rusty nail
G
If your husband knew, he'd say
Dm G
That you're living in sin
Well, if grinning is a sin
C D
That's the reason I'm here
C A
Back with you, Mrs Blear
A
Sleep on, dear
F
Deep and easy, your night man is here
A
I'll steal your dreams for my shiny gold chain
F
And you'll wake with your eyes full of rain
D
Finding I've disappeared
G
I don't think of yesterday
Dm G
Merely drum out the sound
But forgetting you was hard
C D
That's why I'm back in town
G
And you had a loveless week
Dm G
And the world's let you down
But I'll make it up somehow
C D
There are ways, Mrs Brown
C A
That's why I'm back in town
A
Sleep on, dear
F
For the night wouldn't dare interfere
A
And the ghosts of my cigarette play
F
On the ceiling and time drifts away
D
With the burdens it bears
Gm
Remember me
Gm(maj7) Gm7
I've already forgotten you
Gm
And make your beds for me
Gm(maj7)
For the things we ought not to do
(nc)
Drive us all round the bend
End
