Death And Hell

Verse 1:
           A                     
        She stepped down from her 
              F#m
carriage at 10 Vermillon Street
            D                      
        I took off my roustabout 
    E
and slung it to her feet
           A                       
        We went into her parlor and
       F#m
 she cooled me with her fan
             D                     
        But said i'll go no further
          E             A
 with a fantasy makin' man


Verse 2:
          F#              
        I said i'd walk on 
                  B
Ponchatrain for what you have today
            E                      
        Just to drink from your 
                         A
deep well and i'll be on my way
              F#              
        She laughed and heaven 
                  B
filled the room said this i give to 
you
             E                   
        This body's wisdom is the 
                             A
flesh,but here's a thing or two

Chorus:
          D        E        D 
        Death and hell are never 
     A
full
              D              E    
        And neither are the eyes 
   A
of men
          D       E        D
        Cats can fly from nine 
            A
stories high
                      E        D
        And pigs can see the wind


Verse 3:
          A                        
        She let me make my pallet 
    F#m
in the moonlight on the floor
              D                    
        Just outside of paradise 
    E
but right in hell's back door
          A                        
        The image of her nibbled at
      F#m
 the eye of my soul
             D                     
        My dreams were a hurricane 
       E               A
and quite out of control


Verse 4:
             F#                    
        Then her voice came through
             B
 the storm it's more than flesh i 
deal
             E                     
        You will have to pay for 
                    A
any wisdom that you steal
            F#                   
        I awoke to tinted windows 
       B
and lavender and red
              E                 
        The first station of the 
                         A
cross is just above my head
           F#                      
        I awoke to gargoyles and a 
 B
hard bench for my bed
           E                    
        Jesus Christ and Pontias 
                            A
Pilate were just above my head
