[Intro] Em [Chorus]
   B7
[tab]                                Em
One for every year I spent with you

                    B7                Em  B7  Em
Jewels and precious metals will never do
[Verse]
G5         A5
I love you twisted

    G5 Em
And I  love you straight

G5           A5         Em
I'd write it down but I can't concentrate

                                    A5
Words won't me obey they do as they please

                          Em
And all I am left with is these...
[Chorus]
   B7
15 petals

                                Em
One for every year I spent with you

                    B7                Em  B7  Em
Jewels and precious metals will never do
[Verse]
G5           A5
The thorn is blunted

        G5 Em
And the perfume will fade

G5            A5
I stand where sun is set

Em
I crave the shade

                                 A5
Down in the tavern with Mary and Joe

                               Em
Palms reached for alms as they throw...
[Chorus]
   B7
15 petals

                              Em
One for every hour that we're apart

                  B7
Tears and useless battles

           Em   B7  Em
I'll never start
[Verse]
     G5       A5
Mussolini highway

          G5   Em
There's a frankincense tree

G5            A5          Em
I picked some up there to carry with me

                                    A5
You take me to places where I never go

                         Em
I love you more than you know
[Chorus]
   B7
15 petals

                                     Em
Scattered in the path where you will tread

   B7              Em
15 petals of vivid red
[Break]
B7  Em  B7  Em  B7  Em
       Hey!    Hey!   Whoa-oh! Do-do-do
[Outro]
G5           A5            G5 Em
One wine-bar vamp with the polythene face

    G5        A5          G5 Em
Ein Panzer Kommander with no hair in place

    G5         A5               G5    Em
The crooked battallions drilled holes in the square

Em
Oh!
