Intro
F# C# F#
My heart is telling me, I love you still
Verses:
F# D#m
I can see the turning of the key
B C#
I've been deceived by the clown inside of me
A#m B
I thought that he was righteous but he's vain
F# C# F#
Something's telling me, I wear the ball and chain
(same chords throughout)
F# D#m
My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost
B C#
He's always off somewhere when I need him most
A#m B
The Spanish moon is rising on the hill
F# C# F#
But something's telling me, I love you still
F# D#m
I come back to the town from the flaming ruins
B C#
But when I see you in the street I begin to swoon
A#m B
I love to see you dress before the mirror
F# C# F#
Won't you let me in your room one time, before I finally disappear
F# D#m
Everybody's wearing a disguise
B C#
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
A#m B
But me I can't cover what I am
F# C# F#
Wherever their children go, I'll follow them
F# D#m
I'm marching the parade of liberty
B C#
But as long as I love you I'm not free
A#m B
How long must I suffer such abuse
F# C# F#
Won't you let me see you smile, before I turn you loose
F# D#m
I've given up the game I've got to leave
B C#
The pot of gold is only make believe
A#m B
The treasure can't be found by men who search
F# C# F#
Who's gods are dead and whose queens are in the church
F# D#m
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed
B C#
I asked you please to cross me off your list
A#m B
My head tells me it's time to make a change
F# C# F#
But my heart is telling me, I love you but you're strange
(Harmonica solo, same chords as verse)
F# D#m
So one more time at midnight near the wall
B C#
Take off your heavy makeup and your shawl
A#M B
Won't you descend from the throne from whence you sit
F# C# F#
And let me feel your love one more time, before I finally abandon it
