Marlene Dietrich's Favorite Poem Tabulatur von Peter Murphy (für Baryton)

Am, Fmaj7, Am, Fmaj7

   Am
My mother loved it so she said

Sad eyed pearl and drop lips
Fmaj7
Glancing pierce through writer man

Spoke hushed and frailing hips
    Am
Her old eyes skim in creasing lids

A tear falls as she describes
  Fmaj7
Approaching death with a yearning heart

With pride and no despise
C                Cmaj7
Hot tears flow as she recounts
    Fmaj7
Her favorite worded token
  Am
Forgive me please for hurting so

Don't go away heartbroken no

C                Cmaj7
Hot tears flow as she recounts
    Fmaj7
Her favorite worded token
   G
Forgive me please for hurting so
      Fmaj7
Don't go away heartbroken no

Am, Fmaj7, Am, Fmaj7

     Am
Just wise owl tones no velvet lies

Crush her velvet call
   Fmaj7
Oh Marlene suffer all the fools

Who write you on the wall
    Am
And hold your tongue about your life

Or dead hands will change the plot
     Fmaj7
Will make your loving sound like snakes

Like you were never hot
C                Cmaj7
Hot tears flow as she recounts
    Fmaj7
Her favorite worded token
  Am
Forgive me please for hurting so
      Fmaj7
Don't go away heartbroken no

C                Cmaj7
Hot tears flow as she recounts
    Fmaj7
Her favorite worded token
   G
Forgive me please for hurting so
      Fmaj7
Don't go away heartbroken no
