[D] [E7] [A7] [G] [D]
Verse 1:
[D] [E7]
Ah the man she wanted all her life was hanging by a thread
[Em] [A7] [G] [D]
"I never even knew how much I wanted you," she said.
[D] [E7]
His muscles they were numbered and his style was obsolete.
[Em] [A7] [G] [D]
"Oh baby, I have come too late." She knelt beside his feet.
Verse 2:
[D] [E7]
"I'll never see a face like yours in years of men to come
[Em] [A7] [G] [D]
I'll never see such arms again in wrestling or in love."
[D] [E7]
And all his virtues burning in the smoky Holocaust
[Em] [A7] [G] [D]
She took unto herself most everything her lover lost
Bridge 1:
[Bm]
........Now the master of this landscape he was standing at the view
[Em]
with a sparrow of St. Francis that he was preaching to
[F#m]
She beckoned to the sentry of his high religious mood
[Em] [Em/D#] [Em/D] [A7]
She said, "I'll make a place between my legs, I'll show you solitude."
Interlude: D
Verse 3:
[D] [E7]
He offered her an orgy in a many mirrored room
[Em] [A7] [G] [D]
He promised her protection for the issue of her womb
[D] [E7]
She moved her body hard against a sharpened metal spoon
[Em] [A7] [G] [D]
She stopped the bloody rituals of passage to the moon

[D]D ([E7]for 2 ba[A7]rs)[G][D]
Verse 4:
[D] [E7]
She took his much admired oriental frame of mind
[Em] [A7] [G] [D]
and the heart-of-darkness alibi his money hides behind
[D] [E7]
She took his blonde madonna and his monastery wine
[Em] [A7] [G] [D]
"This mental space is occupied and everything is mine."
Interlude: D (for 2 bars)
Verse 5:
[D] [E7]
He tried to make a final stand beside the railway track
[Em] [A7] [G] [D]
She said, "The art of longing's over and it's never coming back."
[D] [E7]
She took his tavern parliament, his cap, his cocky dance,
[Em] [A7] [G] [D]
She mocked his female fashions and his working-class moustache.
Bridge 2:
[Bm]
........Now the last time that I saw him he was trying hard to get
[Em]
A woman's education but he's not a woman yet
[F#m]
And the last time that I saw her she was living with some boy
[Em] [Em/D#] [Em/D] [A7]
Who gives her soul an empty room and gives her body joy.
Last verse:
[D] [E7]
So the great affair is over but whoever would have guessed
[Em] [A7] [G] [D]
It would leave us all so vacant and so deeply unimpressed?
[D] [E7]
It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star
[Em] [A7] [G] [D]
I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far.
Interlude:
D (for 3 bars)
[D] [E7] [Em] [A7] [G] [D]
[D] [E7]
It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star
[Em] [A7] [G] [D]
I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far.
Interlude:
D (Strum it fast this time, there is no set time signature. Last time the next
part is repeated, there is only keyboard and no guitar)
[D] [E7]
It's like our visit to the moon or to that other star
[Em] [A7] [G] [D]
I guess you go for nothing if you really want to go that far.
