Tom: A
Introdução: G C/G
G C G C/G
The night my baby left me I crossed the bridge to Juarez avenue
C G C G
Like that movie "Touch of evil" I got the Orson Wells, Marlene Dietrich blues
C G
Where Orson walks in to the whore house and
C G C/G
Marlene says "Man, you look like hell"
G
And Orson's chewing on a chocolate bar
C/G
as the lights go on in the old Blue Star hotel
C Bm
"Read my future" says old Orson, "down inside the tea leaves of your cup"
Am
And she says "You ain't got no future, Hank,
C D G
I believe your future's all used up"
C G
Why don't you touch me anymore? Why don't you touch me anymore?
D G
Why do you run away and hide? You know it hurts me deep inside
C G
Why do you close the bedroom door? This is a brutal little war
D C G
What good is all this fightin' for if you don't touch me anymore?
G C/G
(Chords like 1st verse, until notice)
G C G C/G
They shot "A touch of evil" in a Venice, California colony
C G
And I grew near those dead canals
C G
where they filmed the longest pan shot ever made
C G C G C/G
Now I'm thinking about the movie, the bar I'm in, the bridge, the Rio Grande
G C/G
Now I'm thinking about my baby and the borderline 'tween a woman and a man
C Bm
I was drunk as Orson Wells the night I crawled backwards out the door
Am C D G
I was screaming "Baby, baby how come you touch me anymore?"
G C/Gx3
(Chords like 2nd verse)
G C G C/G
Oh, someone rolled the credits on twenty years of love turned dark and raw
C G C G
Not a technicolor love film, it's a brutal document, it's film noir
C G C G C/G
And it's all played out on a borderline and the actors are tragically miscast
G C/G
Like a Mexican burlesk show where the characters are wearing comic masks
C Bm
Oh, it's love and love alone I cry to the barmen in this Juarez waterhole
Am C D G
As we raise a glass to Orson and "A touch of evil" livin' our souls
