D/F# D/F#                      G G                D/F# D/F#                               G G
This is the story of your red right ankle, and how it came to meet your leg
D/F# D/F# G G D/F# D/F# G G
And how the muscle bone and sinews tangled, and how the skin was softly shed
Em Em A A Em Em A A
And how it whispered, oh, adhere to me, for we are bound by symmetry
Em Em A A D D G G G G D/F# D/F#
And whatever differences our lives have been, we together make a limb
Em Em A A D/F# D/F# G G D/F# D/F# G G
This is the story of your red right ankle


D/F# D/F# G G D/F# D/F# G G
This is the story of your gypsy uncle, you never knew cause he was dead
D/F# D/F# G G D/F# D/F# G G
And how his face was carved and ripped wrinkles, in the picture in your head
Em Em A A Em Em A A (Asus4 Asus4)
And remember how you found the key, to his hideout in the Pyrenees
Em Em A A D D G G G G D/F# D/F#
But you wanted to keep his secret safe, so you threw the key away
Em Em A A D/F# D/F# G G D/F# D/F# G G
This is the story of your gypsy uncle

D/F# D/F# G G D/F# D/F# G G
This is the story of the boys who loved you, who love you now and loved you then
D/F# D/F# G G D/F# D/F# G G
And some were sweet and some were cold and snuffed you, and some just laid around in bed
Em Em A A (Asus4 Asus4) Em Em A A (Asus4 Asus4)
And had crumbled you straight to your knees, did it cruel did it tenderly
Em Em A A D D G G G G D/F# D/F#
And some had crawled their way into your heart, to rend your ventricles apart
Em Em A A G/B G/B (B B-A A-G G) G G (G G-F# F#-E E)
This is the story of the boys who loved you
Em Em A A D D
This is the story of your red right ankle
