INTRO : D  Em  D  Em

VERSE 1:

        D              Bm               G           F#m
I can hear the soft breathing ,   Of the girl that I love,

D               Em               A7
As she lies here beside me    , Asleep with the night,

        D               Bm       G              F#m
And her hair, in a fine mist,   Floats on my pillow,

D                Em              G    A7        D       Em       D
Reflecting the glow,    Of the winter moonlight.



VERSE 2:

        D           Bm          G                    F#m
She is soft, she is warm,       But my heart remains heavy,

        D       ,    Em              A7
And I watch as her breasts    Gently rise, gently fall,

        D               Bm              G               F#m
For I know with the    first light of dawn   I'll be leaving,

D                Em              G    A7        D       Em       D
 And tonight will be        All I have left to recall.

VERSE 3:

      D         Bm          G           F#m
Oh, what have I done,      Why have I done it,

        D       Em              A7
I've committed a crime,       I've broken the law.

        D            Bm       G         F#m
For twenty-five dollars     And pieces of silver,

D                Em              G    A7  D       Em       D
I held up and robbed       A hard liquor store.

VERSE 4:

    D           Bm      G               F#m
My life seems unreal,   My crime an illusion,

        D       Em            A7
A scene badly written     In which I must play.

        D       Bm               G              F#m
Yet I know as I gaze       At my young   love beside me,

D                Em  G    A7    D       Em       D
The morning is just a few hours away.
