Robyn Hitchcock – St Petersburg (Guitar)

      Am                F
In St Petersburg in the night

          D7           E
Where the light shines down on the snow

       Am                 F
On the bannisters, what a mess

        D7       E
I can't guess at what I don't know

C                    Em
  She cuts like a knife

                    F
  She cuts like a wife

                E                 C
  She cuts like someone I once knew

                      Em
  She cuts like a stream

                    F
  Flows into my dream

             E
  You cut me and I bleed for you

       Am                  F
And in Williamsburg by the lake

          D7         E
Where the stake went deep in your heart

       Am                 F
On the bannisters, it's alright

        D7            E
It's so tight that it drives you apart

C                  Em
  She hangs from a hook

                   F
  She hangs like a cook

               E
  Had gone and hung her up there

C                         Em
  She spins 'round and 'round

                        F
  Three feet off the ground

              E
  But why she does, I don't care

C                    Em
  She cuts like a knife

                    F
  She cuts like a wife

                E                 C
  She cuts like someone I once knew

                       Em
  She cuts like a stream

                      F
  Flows into your dream

             E
  You cut me and I bleed for
