----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Violets for a dead girl ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Horacia E-Mail: mia_lisa@gmx.de Tuning Standard VERSE Gm Don't stray from the path The good people say Cm Well, she never did But in a grove she lay D The snow, it was falling B As a stranger passed by Gm And gazed right into D Gm Her lifeless, little eyes VERSE There was something about her The good people say Rumours start spreading Once started, they'll stay She went with the wolves A whisper goes round Her skin was ripped and torn The night she was found BRIDGE Gm And on her bare breast Cm Gm A frozen flower lay Gm It was a violet Cm Gm That's what people say CHORUS Gm Violets were your favourite flowers Cm D You always smiled when I Gm Gave them to you Cm Now I stand at your grave Trembling for hours Gm My numb hands clutch At frozen flowers F But flowers won't do Gm No more smile comes from you... VERSE She was that kind of woman Man loves to adore But her tender kisses Left me longing for more I try to be humble The best that I can But there is a wolf Hiding in every man. VERSE It lays there waiting And when the time's right Love turns to hunger In a dark grove at night. What difference does it make If you run, scream or cry? When a wolf has scented the blood All that's left is to die... BRIDGE Even if I placed a violet Into a cold hand Some things had to happen There's no way to pretend CHORUS Gm Violets were your favourite flowers Cm D You always smiled when I Gm Gave them to you Cm Now I stand at your grave Trembling for hours Gm My numb hands clutch At frozen flowers Violets were your favourite flowers you always smiled when I Gave them to you Now I stand at your grave And grief devours What's left of my soul And the frozen flowers These flowers won't do there's no more smile coming from you...
