Break: (riff1) Em F    Em F    Em G

Verse 1:
              Em                                                     G
She had nut painted arms, that were hers to keep
                  Em                                     G
And in her fear, she sought cracked pleasures
        Em                                                                          G
The passion of lovers is for death said she, licked her lips
                        Em        G
and turned to feather

Break: Em G    Em G

Verse 2:
Em                                                       G
And as I watched from underneath, I became aware,
                          Em        G
of all that she'd keep
Em                                                                              G
Those little foxes so safe and sound, they were not dead
                        Em          G
they'd gone to ground

Chorus: x2

C                       B                   Em             D                       C
The passion of lovers is for death, said she-ee-ee-hee hee
                         B                   Em     Em
The passion of lovers is for death

Break: (riff1) Em                 F       Em    F     Em    G
                     Aaaaaaahh ahhh ahhh haa

Verse 3:
        Em                                               G
She breaks her heart just a little too much,
              Em                                        G
and her jokes, attract the lucky bad type
                        Em                                     G
And when she dips and wails, slips her banshee smile
                      Em                                               G
She gets the bigger of the better to the letter

Ulangi Chorus: x4
