The Pogues – Turkish Song Of The Damned (Guitar)

Am
I come, old friend, from Hell tonight, across the rotting sea

Am
Nor the nails of the cross, nor the blood of Christ can bring you hope this eve

    Dm                                  Am
The dead have come to claim a debt from thee

     Dm                                    Am   G
They stand outside your door fourscore and three

        C                    F
Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind?

        C                      Dm
Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand?

C                   F
Wailing away on the wall on the strand

       C                     G                 Am   Dm
As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned

      Am
You remember when the ship went down, you left me on the deck

Am
The captain's corpse jumped up and threw his arms around my neck

    Dm                                 Am
For all these years I've had him on my back

     Dm                                Am  G
This debt cannot be paid with all your jack

        C                    F
Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind?

        C                      Dm
Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand?

C                   F
Wailing away on the wall on the strand

       C                     G                 Am
As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned

        C                    F
Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind?

        C                      Dm
Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand?

C                   F
Wailing away on the wall on the strand

       C                     G                 Am
As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned

Am
As I sit and talk to you, I see your face go white

Am
This shadow hanging over me is no trick of the light

    Dm                              Am
The specter on my back will soon be free

    Dm                                  Am G
The dead have come to claim a debt from me

        C                    F
Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind?

        C                      Dm
Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand?

C                   F
Wailing away on the wall on the strand

       C                     G
As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned

        C                    F
Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind?

        C                      Dm
Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand?

C                   F
Wailing away on the wall on the strand

       C                     G           
As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned

        C                    F
Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind?

        C                      Dm
Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand?

C                   F
Wailing away on the wall on the strand

       C N.C.
As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned
