Capo 3
G
From way far across the sea
D
Came an eritrean maiden she
Em7
Had a one track mind and eyes for me
Em7
Half blinded in the war
Am
With a pale young anglican
D
Who said he'd help her all he can
G C
Showed her Jesus and his little un-holy friend
Am
She had no mind to please him
D7 G
Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind
G
There's a little boy in a stairwell who say
D
"I hate people like you"
Em7
Got matches & cable TV half of less than 50p
Am
We all clambered over the balcony
D
Banging on the window waking steve
G C
Bringing with a true love his un-holy friend
Am D G
Singing if you really need it you mustn't leave it behind
G C
So baby please kill me oh baby don't kill me
D
But don't bring that ghost round to my door
I don't wanna see them anymore
G C
Please kill me oh baby don't kill me
D
Just don't bang on about yesterday
I wouldn't know about that anyway
G
Monkey said to the mouse before
D
If she loved anybody more than he
Em
It turns you into stone now
Am
And I'm reversing down a lonely street
D G
Cheap hotel where I can meet the past
C
Play it off and keep it sweet
Am
Ah, It's sweet like nothing oh
D G
It's just like nothing at all
G
Yes I've seen you there
D
How could I help but stare
Em
It rips the heart out of your baby
Am
Taken far too much to see or think or touch
D
Whats real stranded on this street
G C
That paved my only way home
Am
If you really need it oh
D G
You just won't leave it behind
