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: (2x)
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

Chorus: (4x)
