VENGEANCE IS SLEEPING - Neko Case

Note: I had to work out how to play this live without much messing about, so it's not 
accurate to the record - to get that you'll have to detune your low E string to D, and 
finger position accordingly! (For clues, there's a video on youtube where 
someone's accidentally just filmed the guitarist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FEYxc14ZUQ)

I DID NOT KNOW WHAT A BRUTE I WAS
I DIPPED MY CIGARETTE AND RODE THE BUS

NOBODY, NOBODY... NOBODY

ALL I HAD WAS MY INTENTION AND MY LOVE INVENTED ALL OF YOU
OH, LOOK WHAT THOUGHTS CAN DO WHAT THOUGHTS CAN DO

MARRIED, OH MARRIED

I'M NOT THE MAN YOU THOUGHT I WAS

DAMP AND BRUISED BY STRANGERS KISSES ON MY LIPS
