Chorus: EDABm Pavanne, cold steel woman Pavanne EAEDCE How do you love a woman with eyes cold as the barrel of her gun DCE Who's never missed her mark on anyone BmF#mEBmF#mE Pavanne, Pavanne, Pavanne
GDAF#mE Casino doors swing open, the rich men raise their eyes GDAF#mB They say who is this beauty as elegant as ice DA/C#BmG And later there's an accident, another charge d'affair CBmAmBm Is lying in a pool of blood, no witness anywhere
CDE And they say she was a hundred miles away C#mBAE The hotel porter saw her climb the stairs C#mBAF#m And the maid with trembling hands knows what to say BEB7 When the judge says "Are your sure," "I'm sure" she swears
Chorus
At the presidential palace a thousand people saw His excellency leave his car and never make the door The blood flows from his fingers as he clutches at the stain He staggers like a drunken man, lies twisted in the rain
And they say she grew up well provided for Her mother used to keep her boys for sure And father's close attentions led to talk She learned to stab her food with a silver fork
Pavanne, cold steel woman Pavanne
C#mBAE And they say she didn't do it for the money C#mBAF#m And they say she didn't do it for a man BEB7 They say that she did it for the pleasure, F#mBB7 The pleasure of the moment
