Esmerelda

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  
 
 
    G               Am                 C                  G 
The rain was coming down one day and I thought I'd take a drive 
G                      Am               C    Cadd9  C  Csus  C 
Out to the place round where we used to live 
         G                  Am            C                     G 
But that town packed up ten years ago and moved to where things weren't so slow 
    G                     Am          C    Cadd9  C  Csus  C 
And tried to learn not to speak derogative 
          G                             Am                C             G  
I went to school where they asked where I was from as the handed me two quarts of rum 
         G                   Am         C      Cadd9  C  Csus  C   
And they said that there's a party over there 
                    G                      Am                C                               G 
They said you gotta show your face so they know you came and maybe if you?re lucky they'll remember your name 
      G                  Am             C     Cadd9  C  Csus  C 
And I thought to myself, I don't really care 
D          G 
Esmerelda, hold me tight 
     D               C 
This lonely bed just ain't quite right 
       D                             G        D    C 
Let me tell you that I love you just for your information 
D                    G 
Esmerelda, give your love to me 
    D                   C 
You are the keyhole and I'm the key 
      D                 G         D       C 
Let's pack our bags and go to the filling station 
              F          C                  G    C   G   C  
We can take a ride to forever or at least today 
 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
