[Intro]
A7 D/A Dm/A A7
A7 D/A Dm/A A7
[Verse 1]
A7 D/A When I was dead I wore a strong perfume A7 D/A When I was dead I never left the room Dm/A A7 And I saw the apples hanging Dm/A A7 Like moments in the orchard Dm/A A7 But falling into action Dm/A A7 B7 The moment soon is over, no returns
[Verse 2]
A7 D/A When I was dead I wasn't interested in sex A7 D/A I didn't even care what happened next Dm/A A7 I was free as a penny whistle Dm/A A7 And silent as the glove Dm/A A7 I wasn't me to speak of Dm/A A7 Just a thousand ancient feelings Dm/A A7 B7 G That vanished into nothing, into love
[Instrumental]
A7 D/A Dm/A A7
[Verse 3]
A7 D/A When I was dead somebody took my hand A7 D/A I couldn't see his face, I took his hand Dm/A A7 And the Devil asked me to supper Dm/A A7 He said, "Careful with the spoons!" Dm/A A7 And God said, "Oh, ignore him! Dm/A A7 I've got all your albums" Dm/A A7 B7 G I said "Yes, but who's got all the tunes?"
