Christabel

           Asus4 - Am              
It's been seven long days and seven
   G
 hard nights
         Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#         
In a '62 Chevy with broke 
F       E7
taillights
    Asus4 - Am               G
An east - bound man in a west - 
bound lane
   Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#     F        E7
A dishwater blonde about sixteen
    Asus4 - Am                    
Was standing on the shoulder with a 
G
ribbon in her hair
     Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#        F   
Her hand on her hip and her thumb 
         E7
in the air
      Asus4 - Am                   
And I pulled off the road and as 
 G
she grabbed for the door
  Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#          F    
I knew the wind was cold 'cause 
                E7
I'd seen it all before
      Asus4 - Am   E7
And I was scared


[Refrain]
     Am       G             Am6/F#
Things ain't never what they seem
        Am        F       E7     
When you find you livin' in your 
   Am - E7 - Am
own dream


[Verse 2]
     Asus4 - Am                 G
Now the moonlight peeked in and out 
behind the clouds
     Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#     F      
Now and again on this godless 
  E7
child
      Asus4 - Am           
And the radio was scrambed, 
      G
cracklin' in the air
       Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#     F    
The ribbon she wore looked old in 
    E7
her hair
      Asus4 - Am                 G
And I saw the moonlight sliver dead 
down on her face
       Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#     F    
I knew it was true, she was in the
    E7
 wrong place
      Asus4 - Am                 G
In the wrong time, in the wrong tale
         Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#     
I knew when I'd asked her she'd 
F        E7
hiss, "Christabel"

When you find you livin' in your

[Verse 3]
    Asus4 - Am                 G
She was after the man who had left 
her alone
      Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#     F     
With no father beside her and love
   E7
 longtime gone
   Asus4 - Am                 G
And the snake deep inside her, a 
hiss in her head
       Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#     F    
The rest that had been her was 
    E7
dying or dead
  Asus4 - Am                 G
And she'd a taste for young women 
with pearly white skin
       Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#     F    
She spat on the floor when she 
    E7
spoke of the man
   Asus4 - Am                 G
Who made her like this, who had 
written her tale
        Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#     
This medieval maid they called 
F        E7
"Christabel"

Things ain't never what they seem

When you find you livin' in your

[Verse 4]
   Asus4 - Am                 G
Then she breathed out the story of 
her lover - to - be
       Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#     F    
A knight shining armor on a 
    E7
silvery steed
    Asus4 - Am                 G
Who longed to be worthy so he sought
 the crusade
       Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#     F    
While she waited, breath bated, in
    E7
 linen brocade
    Asus4 - Am                 G
But a pair of black eyes wove 'round
 her a spell
         Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#     F  
The snake they call Lydia seduced 
      E7
Christabel
     Asus4 - Am                
And she cuddled her tender, she 
 G
poisoned her soul
         Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#     F  
She stole her young body and made 
      E7
it her own


[Chorus]
    Am       G             Am6/F#
Things ain't never what they seem
        Am        F       E7     
When you find you livin' in your 
   Am - E7 - Am
own dream


[Verse 5]
    Asus4 - Am                 G
Now the knight would love Lydia in 
Christabel's arms
      Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#     F     
And Lydia would have it should he 
   E7
ever return
    Asus4 - Am                 G
But Lydia was left with the story 
undone
     Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#     F  
No silvery steed, no castle, no 
      E7
throne
     Asus4 - Am             
Half - woman, half - serpent 
    G
entwined in a spell
       Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#    
A barge black and fancy this 
 F        E7
medieval tale
     Asus4 - Am                 G
And she faded at dawning, the bird 
and the beast
      Dsus2/F# - Am6/F#     F     
Deep in the dreams of those bound 
   E7
for the east
    Asus4 - Am                 G
Like me

Things ain't never what they seem
        Am        F       E7     
When you find you livin' in your 
   Am - E7 - Am
own dream
    Am       G             Am6/F#
Things ain't never what they seem
