[Verse 1]
|     Gb|  Gb/F|  Ab/Eb|  Ebm|
 Take my blood and take my marrow,

 Scrape the meal from my bone,
|   Gbadd9|      Bbm7/F|           Ab/Eb|  Eb|
Pierce my heart if you please, with your arrow,

But Veda, my darling, come home.
[Verse 2]

Though you sneer, and crack wise I won't waver, but

Veda, my darling, come in, come in.
[Chorus]

Sweet thing, let me dress you for bed,
   |                   Bbm|     Gb  
Now slip that gown off your head,
    |                    Db|       Ab|   Ebm|
I'll kiss you one thousand times, my angel.
|        B|                 Gm|  A  
Close your eyes, and my savage mind
     |              Dm/A|      Gm|    Bb/F  
Will fashion a day when you'd be tender,

When you'd be kind. For you see the

Gave you cold-hearted pride,

You look down on your mother who loves you;

You take without grace - though it smarts - I don't mind.
