darn close.

Now go into the following

part 1: A E F#m D

part 2: D E F#m C#m D Bm E

A

We went down

E

To the old part of town

F#m

By the stinking canal

D

The cotton mill

Under a ghetto palm

With her bicycle shorts on

With a gesture

She said to me

D E F#m C#m

I really must confess

D Bm

I'd to get undressed

E

With you

Though the thought

Had never really crossed my mind

Oh, but that was lie

So we went along

We went out

Under the turning leaves

Fetted earth

Was damp and cool

Autumn's feeble lights

On her salty neck

All innocence was lost

I really must confess

I'm feeling quite distressed

My stars are always crossed

And I have alway taken

More than I have given back

And as a matter of fact

I've given nothing up

Solo: violins and whatnot.

Finish with:

|D------6b7---|
|E---0--------|

The end
