Shattered Cross

F#m   E     F#m

[Verse 1]

F#m       A                  D  
You don’t mess around with a man
    A
 in black
    F#m           A              
You say something wrong that you 
D          E
can’t take back
D            A           E
You go for a ride in his automobile
    F#m         A          D     
The spot in the woods just over 
   A
the hill
        D          A             
No, you don’t mess around with a 
E      F#m
man in black

[Verse 2]

    F#m        A             D   
You don’t fool around with a 
     A
woman in red
    F#m      A          D         
You wake up alone in a cold barren 
 E
bed
       D          A               
She’ll empty your pockets and rip 
         E
out your heart
    F#m            A          D  
And leave you with ruins of a 
        A
life torn apart
        D          A             
No, you don’t fool around with a 
E        F#m
woman in red

[Verse 3]

    F#m        A            D
You never make deals with a guy 
         A
named Doc
               F#m        A        
You’ll have a gun in your hands by 
D    A
12 o’clock
           D      A                
And if the sodium lights with your 
E
heart in your throat
     F#m         A          D    
Your life won’t amount to a 
      A
bottle of smoke
        D          A            E
No, you never make deals with a 
         F#m
guy named doc

[Verse 4]

      F#m           A      
Don’t bring me your tales of 
      D          A
temptation and loss
    F#m          A          
The rags of your dreams, your 
   D        A
shattered cross
     D             A              
I’ve heard your confession, I know
         E
 who you blame
       D          A               
If you had it all back you’d just 
E
lose it again
        F#m       A           D  
You can bank on redemption if 
      A
you’re insane

         D             A      
So don’t bring me your tales of 
      E          F#m
temptation and loss
         D            A         E
Oh don’t bring me the pieces of 
    F#m
your shattered cross
