Tab2
This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Verse 1
------
C Am F Em
I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love,
C Dm G
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night
C Am F Em
And her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow
C Dm F G C
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight
Betwixt each verse put fill 1 in
Verse 2
------
She is soft she is warm but my heart remains heavy,
As I watch as her breasts gently rise, gently fall.
For I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving,
And tonight will be all I have left to recall.
Verse 3
------
Oh what have I done, why have I done it,
*wfill2*
I've committed a crime, broken the law.
For twenty five dollars and pieces of silver,
I held up and robbed a hard liquor store.
Verse 4
------
My life seems unreal, my crime an illusion,
*wfill2*
A scene badly written in which I must play.
And I know as I gaze at my young love beside me,
The morning is just a few hours away.
Fill2
