The Lethal Temptress Uke tab by The Mendoza Line (Baritone Chords)

A
Oh I bled on the bed
      D
from a wound in my head
      A              E
on the night before I sent this
A
welling with dread
        D  
from the things that were said
      A                         E
in the boardroom that left me defenseless.

    Bm
And though you weren't there
        A
I could still feel you stare
                                E 
and your voice it rang cold and contemptuous.
   A                
So forgive me this morning
  D  
if I should fall worn
       A           E      A
in the arms of the lethal temptress.

     A      
At a nightclub engagement 
    D
you sang on the stage
     A                         E
in a voice that was broken and tuneless;
           A
still it's better to work
        D
than to beg like a jerk
        A                           E
for the kinds of things we all find useless.
 
    Bm
And Hell hath no fury
    A
and dear I'm not worried.
                         E
I will see to my eternal penance.
         A
Just one more glass of gin
       D
before I crawl back in
       A           E      A
to the arms of the lethal temptress.

        A
So you frighten the ghost town
    D
and ground them all down,
     A                    E
til one day you'd reach a consensus.
      A
And I know from your verse
        D
you put America the first
        A                      E
and all others you simply beat senseless.

       Bm
And to worship like this
      A
is to honour the fist
                                 E  
and to conjure what's cruel and licentious.
      A 
And I don't know what's fair 
      D
and I really don't care
       A            E     A  
in the arms of the lethal temptress.

      A
And I won't place a bet
       D
but I knew when we met
      A                      E
that one day we'd come to regret this.
         A                           D
And that what once was love can turn quickly enough
      A                        E
into something so hard and contemptuous.

    Bm
And Hell hath no fury
     A
and Death is no jury
                             E
our love's ended before I commence this
         A 
but for one final sin
          D 
you won't see me again
       A           E       A  
in the arms of the lethal temptress.

         A 
But for one final sin
          D 
you won't see me again
       A           E       A  
in the arms of the lethal temptress.
