Standard (EADGBE)
(Guitar plays Cm, Gm, Cm, Gm over piano solo)
I found her on the night of fire and noise
Wild bells rang ina wild sky
I knew from that moment on
That I would love her till the day that i died
And I kissed away a thousand tears
My lady of the various sorrows
Some begged, some borrowed, some stolen
So I kept some safe for tomorrow
On an endless night silver star spangled
The bells from the chapel went jingle-jangle
Do You Love Me? (Do You Love Me?)
Do You Love Me? (Do You Love Me?)
Do You Love Me? (Do You Love Me?)
Do You Love Me
Like i love you
She was given to me to put things right.
And I stacked all of my accomplishments beside her.
Yet I feel so obsolete and small
I found God and all his devils inside her.
In my bed, she cast the blizzard out.
A mock sun blazed upon her head.
And so completely filled with light, she was
Her shadow fanged and hairy and mad.
Our love lines grew hopelessly tangled
And the bells from the chapel went jingle-jangle
Do You Love Me? (Do You Love Me?)
Do You Love Me? (Do You Love Me?)
Do You Love Me? (Do You Love Me?)
Do You Love Me
Like i love you
REPEAT!

I've read the holy books
Tried to unravel the mystery og Jesus Christ the saviour
I've read the poets and the analysts
Searched through the books on human behaviour

Searching for an answer that refused to be found
I don't know why and I don't know how
But she's nobody's baby now

A --10-10-9-7-----10-9-7-----|-9-7-|
take a little walk to the edge of town, Go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms, like abird of doom, as it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires ij the humming wires
Hey man you know you're never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat and a red right hand

9. LAY ME LOW
They're gonna lay me low (lay me low)
They're gonna sink me in the snow
They're gonna throw back their heads and crow,
When i go
They're gonna jump and shout (lay me low)
They're gonna wave their arms about
All the stories will come out
When I go
All the stars will glow bright (lay me low)
All my friends will give up the fight
They'll see my work in a different light
When i go
They'll try telephoning my mother (lay me low)
They'll end up getting my brother
Who'll spill the story on some long lost lover
that they hardly know
Hats off to the man, On top of the world
Come crawl up here baby, and I'll show you how it works
If you wanna be my friend and you wanna repent
And you want it all to end and you wanna know when
Then do it now, don't care how take your final bow
Make a stand, take my hand, and blow it all to hell.
Repeat
10. DO YOU LOVE ME? (PART 2)
Intro
(Cm and Gm played as slow single strums allowing each note of the
chords to ring out)
Verse
Onward and onward and onward i go
Where no man before could be bothered to go
Till the soles of my shoes are shot full of holes
And it's all downhill with a bullet
This rambin and rovin has taken its course
I'm grazing with the dinosaurs and the dear old horses
And the city streets crack and great hole forces me down
with my soapbox, my pulpit.
The theatre ceiling is silver star spangled
and the coins in my pocket go jingle jangle
Do you love me (do do, do do, do do, do do,)
Do You love me (do do, do do, do do, do do)
Do you love me
Repeat over remaining verses.
