GmHere with my momento and her air of mystery
   Eb    FOne high-heeled stiletto, What did she ever mean to mGme?
   Eb    FA touch of nails of crimson  from some vision in the
Cmnight    Eb    Fslowly fading out of Gmsight
  EbI sure Bb/Fhate to see her Gmleaving
  EbI sure Bb/Fhate to see her Gmgo.
            Eb              Bb/F         F           Eb     F     Gm  Gm+5  GmGmsus
  What will I ever do without her?  I just don't know.
She said we were in Dm7love last night.   EbIn Flove, with no last Gmname.
Last night the fire was Eb6burning bright,
   FNow, I'm goin' down,   Gm     Eb     Cm     Gm     Fgoin' down in Gmflames.
