Lucinda

this is my first ever submission so please don't be too harsh,

also am not exactly sure that the Bmaj chord is quite right,

but if u holler n growl enough like Mr. Waits when you are playing

it sounds passable

Well they call me William The Pleaser

I sold opium, fireworks and lead

Now I'm telling my troubles to strangers

When the shadows get long I'll be dead

Now her hair was as black as a bucket of tar

Skin was as white as a cuttlefish bone

I left Texas to follow Lucinda

Now I'll never see heaven or home B |---|---|-X-|---|

I made a wish on silver of moonlight XA |---|---|---|---|

A sly grin and a bowl full of stars

Like a kid who captures a firefly

And leaves it only to die in the jar

As I kick at the clouds at my hanging

As I swing out over the crowd

I will search every face for Lucinda's

And she will go off with me down to hell

I thought I'd broke loose of Lucinda

The rain returned and so did the wind

I cast this burden on the God that's within me

I will leave this old world and go free Bmaj

The devil dances inside empty pockets B |---|-x-|---|-X-|---|

But she did'nt want money or pearls D |---|-x-|---|-X-|---|

No, that wasn't enough for Lucinda XE |---|---|---|---|---|

She wasn't that kind of girl

Now I've fallen from grace for Lucinda

Whoever thought that hell would be so cold

I did well for an old tin can sailor

But she wanted the bell in my soul

I've spoken to God on the mountain

And I've swam in the Irish sea

I ate fire and drank from the Ganges

And I'll beg there for mercy for me

I thought I'd broke loose of Lucinda

The rain returned and so did the wind

I was standing outside the Whitehorse

Oh but I was afraid to go in

I heard someone pull the trigger

Her breasts heaved in the moonlight again

There was a smear of gold in the window

And then I was the jewel of her sin

They call me William The Pleaser

I sold opium, fireworks and lead

Now I'm telling my troubles to strangers

When the shadows get long I'll be dead

Now her hair was as black as a bucket of tar

Skin was as white as a cuttlefish bone

I left Texas to follow Lucinda

Now I'll never see heaven or home

No I'll never see heaven or home

No I'll never see heaven or home
