Tiger Lillies - Rue D'Auseil
intro: Gm, Am, Bb, C, D, Gm.
Gm
On the Rue d’Orsay
Am
Hear your music play
Bb
Strange beauty it rips
C
Rips my soul away
D Gm
In the Rue d’Orsay
Gm
In your garret your room
Am
Encased and entombed
Bb
Each sound so disturbed
C
Twisted and absurd
D Gm
In the Rue d’Orsay
Gm
Haunted full of fear
Am
Each meaning unclear
Bb
The dread it does grow
C
And it starts to show
D Gm
In the Rue d’Orsay
Gm
Your tortortured cry
Am
Of one about to die
Bb
Like a monkey you play
C
Your life away
D Gm
On the Rue d’Orsay
Gm
So the window breaks
Am
And your music shakes
Bb
The terror runs deep
C
Your music shrieks
D Gm
On the Rue d’Orsay
Gm
As the darkness comes
Am
You start to run
Bb
Never will I know
C
The secrets you could show
D Gm
On the Rue d’Orsay
D Gm
On the Rue d’Orsay
Am
But the music
That you played
I will take
Gm
To my grave
