The woman downstairs from Tina Dico
Album: Whispers
CAPO on 1st fret 

Intro:   E   Esus4 E Esus4

Verse 1:
   E
I ceremonially undress
     A                                                 E   Esus4 E Esus4
For she who in my dreams reveals how she longs and she cares
                     C#m
I take off all my clothes
          A            E   Esus4 E Esus4
for the woman downstairs


Verse 2:
     E
The faded cotton shirt
               A                                                     E   Esus4 E Esus4 
The woollen jacket from a time when the Lord still answered my prayers
                     C#m
I let fall my black armour
           A             E   Esus4 E Esus4
for the woman downstairs

Verse 3:
  E 
I get into the bath
         A                                         E   Esus4 E Esus4
Let the water trickle through my mind´s lonely affairs
                   C#m
I give my longing body
        A            E   Esus4 E Esus4
to the woman downstairs

Chorus:
     E                      A
I give her my ears and my eyes
                               E   Esus4 E Esus4
I give her my future and my past
                                    C#m
They´re both full of questions and lies
                A                    E   Esus4 E Esus4
But I`ve got a feeling she´ll never ask
            C#m
Where I´m going
                  A
Well, I´m going down
                       E   Esus4 E Esus4
To the woman downstairs


Verse 4:
               E             
In my dream I lay her on a blanket
               A                             E   Esus4 E Esus4
Wild berries stain the fragile dress she wears
                          C#m
She can have my soul and keep it
     A              E   Esus4 E Esus4
The woman downstairs


Chorus:
     E                      A
I give her my ears and my eyes
                               E   Esus4 E Esus4
I give her my future and my past
                                    C#m
They´re both full of questions and lies
                A                    E   Esus4 E Esus4
But I`ve got a feeling she´ll never ask
            C#m
Where I´m going
                  A
Well, I´m going down
                       E   Esus4 E Esus4
To the woman downstairs
                 C#m    
Yeah, I´m going down
        A              E  Esus4  Esus4
To the woman downstairs
