[Intro]
F
[Verse 1]
C Many men have loved the bells F C You fastened to the rein Am Dm And everyone who wanted you Am G F G They found what they will always want again Bm Em Your beauty lost to you yourself Bm Em Just as it was to them
[Chorus]
C G Oh, take this longing from my heart C G All the useless things these hands have done C G Bm And let me see your beauty broken down___ C G Like you would do for one you love
[Verse 2]
F C Your body like a searchlight F C My own poverty revealed Am Dm I would like to try your charity Am G F G Until you cry, "Now you must try my greed" Bm Em And everything depends upon Bm Em How near you sleep to me
[Chorus]
C G Oh, take this longing from my heart C G All the useless things these hands have done C G Bm And let me see your beauty broken down___ C G Like you would do for one you love
[Verse 3]
F C As hungry as an archway F C Through which the troops have passed Am Dm I stand in ruins behind you Am G F G With your winter clothes and your broken sandal straps Bm Em I love to see you naked over there Bm Em Especially from the back
[Chorus]
C G Take this longing from my heart C G All the lonely things these hands have done C G Bm Untie my blue silk blouse__ C G F C G As you would do for one you love
[Verse 4]
F C Oh, you're faithful to my better self F C I'm afraid that she left Am Dm Let me judge your love affair Am G F G In this very room where you sentenced mine to death Bm Em Look, I'll even wear these old laurel leaves Bm Em That you've shaken from your head
[Chorus]
C G Take this longing from my heart C G All the lonely things these hands have done C G Bm Let me see your beauty broken down___ C G C Like you would do for one you love G Like you would do for one you love
