CAPO 1
Dm
You heard the crickets of the early eve
A7
They lurk around the opening in twos and threes
Dm
Clementine told you not to move with the breeze
A7 Dm
It'll take you down to places where we dare not speak
Dm Dm7 G7
The red light in the doorway says she's armed
A7 Dm
But, boy, go try your luck and you might get past
Dm7 G7
Step into the dwelling of the liger's mouth
A7 Dm
Peer into the panic for a kick and swell
Dm7 G7
You know you shouldn't be there but it's way past bed
A7 Dm
There's comfort in the fingers of your good intent
Dm7 G7
You know you shouldn't be there but your money's all spent
A7 Dm G
You've got your reputation and your good intent
A7 Dm
Your good intent
Dm A Dm
Oooooooooooh
Dm
Out to feed that habit when you've sowed that seed
A7 Dm
Nothing made you feel out of the ordinary
Dm
But the air turns sombre and the night took heed
A7 Dm
Took you on a waltz of hypocrisy
Dm
She broke your bones, now you're lying in the dirt
A7 Dm
The shadow of a hunter under your torture
Dm
It's not enough to say, it's not what's in your heart
A7 Dm
You've tainted every moment till death do we part
Dm Dm7 G7
I know you didn't mean it, boy you meant so well
A7 Dm
The pennies are cascading down your wishing well
Dm7 G7
I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
A7 Dm
You're slipping through the fingers of your good intent
Dm7 G7
I know you didn't mean it, though you meant so well
A7 Dm
The pennies are cascading down your wishing well
Dm7 G7
I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
A7 Dm G
You've got your reputation and your good intent
A7 Dm
Such a good intent
Dm Dm7 G7
It's not enough to hope for the best
A7 Dm
It's not enough to lie there on a breast
Dm7 G7
The liger's on the prowl now you've pulled its strings
Dm G* A7*
One false move and soon you're playing dice for a-
[Instrumental:] Dm
*One strum
