[Intro]

Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4

[Verse 1]

Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4

La Llorona knew love

Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E

Her heart spilled like wine

Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4

Her laugh could shatter glass

Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E

Always brought the real good time

Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4

But she loved her men too much

Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E

And they loved to misbehave

Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4

She was the lightning strike

Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E

That turns the thunder brave

And if you shine too bright

You vanish in the glare

You lose your light

Like you were never there

[Chorus]

She was lost in love

Lost and found

The faggot, the junkie

Csus4 C

The runaround

[Verse 2]

Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4

She let one use her to hide behind

Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E

Let one use her to hide his pain

Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4

Let one use her just for fun

Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E

To be a pawn in white worlds game

Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4

And that turned her dreams to ash

Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E

Like a footprint on the moon

Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4

Shattered dreams don’t fade

Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E

In a desecrated tomb

That’s when the tears started

Tears that can’t be outrun

Left her so brokenhearted

You’re holding a smoking gun

[Chorus]

Love is the blood

Where you drown

The faggot, the junkie The runaround

Love is the blood

Where you drown

The faggot, the junkie

Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C

The runaround

[Verse 3]

Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4

Now the curses of the dead

Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E

Pour down La Llorona’s cheeks

Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4

They stare there from her face

Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E

Like stars beyond reach

Her hands hold the blade

Her eyes the long abyss

Her tears the serenade

For those who taste her kiss

[Chorus]

Love is the blood

Where you drown

The faggot, the junkie The runaround

Love is the blood

Where you drown

The faggot, the junkie

Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C

The runaround
