Sublime – Scarlet Begonias (Guitar)

   E                                 B
As I was walking down rubadub square

      E                                         B
Not a chill to the weather but a nip to the air

A                E       A                    E
  From another direction she was caught in my eye

A                 E        A                   E
  It could be an illusion, but I might as well try

              B
Might as well try

        E                                           B
She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes

      E                                          B
And I knew without asking she was into the blues

A                    E      A               E
  She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls

A               E            A              E
  I knew right away, she was not like other girls

            B
(Like other girls)

              F#
Well, I ain't never been right, as I ain't never been wrong

   B                           E
It seldom works out the way it does in this song (hey)

       F#
'cause once in a while you get shown in the light

       B                          E
In the strangest of places if you look at it right

           A
It was the summer of love, and I thank the stars above

            B
Because the woman took the lovin' over me

    A
And just to gain her trust, I bought a microbus

          B
Because I sold up all my personal property

        A                         E
A tight tie-dyed dress, she was a psychedelic mess

   A                           E
We toured to the north, south, east and west

   A                          E
We sold some mushroom tea, we sold some ecstasy

        A                         E
We sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin and PCP

          B
And now I hear the police coming after me

           B
Yes, now I hear the police coming after me

B
The one Scarlet, with the flowers in her hair

              B
She's got the police coming after me

            E                                          B
Well, there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves

    E                                         B
All scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues

A                         E              A                  E
  And there ain't nothin' wrong with the love that's in her eye

A                    E        A                    E
  I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by

             B
Let her pass by

B                        B
Oh, just to let her pass by
