Chords

(Difford/Tilbrook) From the 1982 studio album, Sweets From A Stranger [Intro] G E A
A
The head of a hunt on the wall by a painting
An upright piano stood locked by the door In through the window the light was fast fading While I spilt my whiskey all over the floor G E A
A
Making a mess of my words so I'm trying
To impress the Empress with my wimpy tales Fanning her face from cigar smoke and sighing I had come close to be miles from her trail G E A
G#m                    A
She was the jewel that sparkled in darkness

G#m                 A
She was the love of everyone's life

G#m                  A
She was the catch at everyone's parties

D                      G                   E  A
She was the one with a tongue like a knife

A
Her bosoms curved perfectly lit by the fire
My mind launched away in a sea of its own Her grace and her tightness I had to admire Through a whore's breath of stories I happily told G E A
G#m                 C#            A
Trespassing my hand fell into hot water
She shot like a bullet right out of her chair
    A#m     C#m     D#         C#m
She led me away and I was then slaughtered

       C#m           G#m      B            G
By the warmth of her body and her love and care

A
Her tongue cut away and the wounds slowly opened
I lay on the sails of the ship of romance Drunk as I could be and broker than broken and The head of my hunt was there in my hands G E A
G#m                    A
She was the jewel that sparkled in darkness

G#m                 A
She was the love of everyone's life

G#m                  A
She was the catch at everyone's parties

D                      G
She was the one with a tongue like a knife

              A     G
Tongue like a knife

                A     G
A tongue like a knife

  E             A     G
A tongue like a knife

E               A     G
A tongue like a knife

G                   A     G
Ohh a tongue like a knife

  E             A      G
A tongue like a knife

G     D             E
Ohh a tongue like a knife
[Outro] F# E [Repeat to fade]
