Red Violins

            C
There is no use to holler, no use to
 cry.
       F                       
Twenty pounds of curses came to 
       C
visit me tonight.
          C
Salt for all the cuts, blankets for 
the cold.
           F                       
Prayers to keep the devil far away 
     C
from those I love.
                C
And there were red violins, playing 
in my dreams.
F                               C
One for me and two for me, and one 
at Jesus' feet.
    G            F        
And one I only reach to for 
         C
sympathy.

[Chorus]

           Am                 F
And if you want it, then you want 
it.
                 C             
For when you're falling on your 
   G
knees.
            Am               F
I seen you howling now, you water at
 the mouth.
           C                  G
I seen you fawn and faint in need.
           F      G               
Are there red violins playing you 
          C
to sleep?

C
Chariot swing low, if you come for 
me.
F                                 
Ain't it now, the strangest sound 
     C
we call on for relief?
C
Look at the all these people 
clapping steady to the beat,
        F                         
Of the ambulances on their way to 
C
me…

[Chorus]

          Am               F
So if you wanna, then you wanna.
           C                 G
Everybody pays the price to feed.
                   Am              
And since you're howling now, 
          F
you're foaming at the mouth
                  C              
And since you're struck right off 
       G
your feet.
           F       G
I'll play red violins…

[Bridge]

             F          G
And you are now of my existence,
                C              
You're part of that which still 
   Am
remains.
            F              G
And you're lingering like fingered 
strings,
           C                  Am
I seem to call on to feel the pain.
    C      F          C    F    G
On red violins… on red violins.

[Chorus]

           Am               F
And if you wanna, then you wanna.
           C                     
Can't you see me crawling at your 
  G
feet?
            Am                     
You see me howling now, I'm foaming
 F
 at the mouth.
             C               G
Come on and grieve for my disease…
                Am  F  C  G     
And there were red violins 
         Am     F   C  G
playing in my dreams.
           Am  F   C  G         
There were red violins playing 
       Am   F   C  G
in my dreams.
           Am  F  C    G
There were red violins.
           Am  F  C    G
There were red violins.
           Am  F  C    G
There were red violins.
           Am  F  C    G        
There were red violins playing 
       C
in my dreams.
