[Intro]
Ab Gb Abm
[Verse 1]
Am Bb Pacing through the flickering light Db A velvet patch upon his eye Gb His pacing creaks the floorboards loose Ab As he tailors his thoughts for the truth around truths Gm Fm But his butler keeps eyes through a hole in the door Gm Fm What the butler don't see ain't a lot that's for sure
{Verse 2]
Am Bb Francesca lays across the couch Db They fight with words from mouth to mouth Gb And then with handfuls of her flesh Ab See how the zipper broke off of her dress Gm Fm Strangling her neck with his hands in her gloves Gm Fm The port and the brandy mix cocktails of love
[Chorus]
Eb Gm The porchlight, the torchlight Ab Fm The frosted morning lawn Eb Cm Fm Db The cloak of daylight has finally been drawn Cm F Bb Gm Ab Gb G Ab On the tale of what the butler saw...
[Verse 3]
Am Bb He kept his world all to himself Db And locked it tight inside his belt Gb But she preferred his belt undone Ab She bathed in his fortune but never his fun Gm Fm He cracked on a mixture of opera and drink Gm Fm The butler still fetches and carries for him
[Verse 4]
Am Bb The butler dragged down to the lake Db Francesca's body in a cape Gb No private eye was gonna trace this Ab The old man was shaking, his marbles were missed Gm Fm The shadows and footprints and flickering lights Gm Fm The butler's up late with a cold in his eye
[Chorus]
Eb Gm The porchlight the torchlight, Ab Fm the frosted morning lawn Eb Cm Fm Db The cloak of daylight has finally been drawn Cm F Bb Gm Ab Gb G Ab On the tale of what the butler saw
[Outro]
