This is my first tab - felt I needed to give after enjoying everyone else's efforts.
Great underrated Elvis song - play with menacing 3/4 on the verses and enjoy.
Bm F# Bm
In an anonymous rendez-vous where the forbidden lovers repair
D A
They're burning down another damned candle
F#m G
they're melting the tables and chairs
Bm F#
Beneath them applause from the balcony
Bm
whenever they accomplish making love
D A
Other times they thought they heard laughter
F#m G G/F#/E (on sixth string to Em chord)
coming from the balcony above
A E
She lies to his right and she carelessly recites
F#m C#m
All of her brand new appetites
A E
She seems brittle and small it don't sound like her at all
F#m F#
Since she came back to him after the fall
Bm F#
She said "You never visit the countryside
Bm
So I've made you a country to order"
D A
She put up a little tent in the bedroom
F#m G
Crickets played on a tape recorder
Bm F#
The ceiling was festooned with phosphorus stars
Bm
She noticed his skin turning cold
D A
Burning all his clothes on the bonfire
F#m G G/F#/E (on sixth string to Em chord)
Relax, she whispered, and tightened the blindfold
A E
She lies to his right and she carelessly recites
Fm# C#m
All of her brand new appetites
A E
She seems brittle and small it don't sound like her at all
F#m F#
Since she came back to him after the fall
Bm F#
"You've changed, but not for the better babe
Bm
I'd tell you why but what's the use
D A
'Cause it's the same kind of pity
F#m G
A drunkard gives as his excuse
Bm F#
You were sharp and ideal as a bobby-pin
Bm
Now your eyes are deserted and quiet
D A
We both look like those poor shattered mannequins
F#m G G/F#/E (on sixth string to Em chord)
Thrown through the window in a riot"
A E
She lies in his arms and without any qualms
F#m C#m
Revels in shallow delight
A E
She seems brittle and small it don't sound like her at all
F#m F#
Since she came back to him after the fall
