Capo 3
Intro:
[G] [Am] [C] [G] [G] [Am] [C] [Cadd9] [C] [Csus] [C]
[G] [Am] [C] [G] [G] [Am] [C] [Cadd9] [C] [Csus] [C]
The [G]rain was coming [Am]down one day and I [C]thought I'd take a [G]drive
[G]Out to the place round [Am]where we used to [C]live[Cadd9] [C] [Csus] [C]
But that [G]town packed up ten [Am]years ago and [C]moved to where things [G]weren't so slow
And [G]tried to learn not to [Am]speak deroga[C]tive[Cadd9] [C] [Csus] [C]
I went to [G]school where they asked where [Am]I was from as the [C]handed me two [G]quarts of rum
And they [G]said that there's a [Am]party over [C]there[Cadd9] [C] [Csus] [C]
They said you gotta [G]show your face so they [Am]know you came
and mayb[C]e if you're lucky they'll rememb[G]er your name
And I [G]thought to myself, [Am]I don't really [C]care[Cadd9] [C] [Csus] [C]
Chorus:
[D]Esmerelda, [G]hold me tight
This [D]lonely bed just [C]ain't quite right
Let me [D]tell you that I love you just [G]for your [D]infor[C]mation
[D]Esmerelda, give your [G]love to me
You [D]are the keyhole and [C]I'm the key
Let's [D]pack our bags and [G]go to the [D]filling [C]station
We can take a [F]ride to for[C]ever or at least to[G]day[C] [G] [C]
I was working on the spinning wheel tryin' to make myself a name
But I was never really good at being told what to do
Six days weeks and twenty hour days will drive a man insane
And the sad thing is that I did it all for you
And even though our love was strong, we both knew there was something wrong
When I caught you in bed with my bestest friend
Yeah, I was mad and I wanted to shout, but I got smart and I walked right out
When you asked me if I wanted to join in
Chorus
Mandolin solo
You tried to kill me yesterday, but the hitman moved to Tampa Bay
Guess it's hard to keep a job when you're selling sin
Come on baby, put down the knife, cause I'd kinda like to live my life
Not wondering when you're gonna strike again
Chorus
