LONELY JUST LIKE ME (MEXICAN MOON)
Tempo: Fast Country Shuffle
Intro:
Gm/Cm/Gm/Dm/Gm/Cm/Gm/Dm
1st Verse:
Gm
you were white moth-petal
scorned and sweet
Cm
wrapped in silk and net
Gm
baby blue eyes
a drunkard's smile
Dm
a sigh, a slow song and sex
Gm
your breath was still warm
and your eyes were soft
Cm
as the moon shined brilliantly
Gm
the taste of your blood
and the blue from your eyes
Dm
kissed me so slow
E5/F/F#5/Gm
and gently
Chorus:
Gm
well, the clock struck two
and the mexican moon
Cm
and the stars
they fell away
Gm
I just stood there laughing
with my heart in my hand
Dm Dm/C#5/Cm/A#5/Gm
I didn't know what to say
Gm
well, I could sing you
something black and blue
Cm
but I can't bring you back to me
Gm
you belonged to someone
Dm
now he's lonely
Gm
just like me
2nd Verse:
Gm
the night was cool
and the mexican moon
Cm
lay shining in the sky
Gm
it was easy on my eyes
and soothed my mind
Dm
as hammers
(Break)
fell out of the night
Gm
I last saw you
as white as wine
Cm
soaking in satin sheets
Gm
making pretty noises
to all the boys
Dm
who pleased you eagerly
Repeat Chorus (x2)
