She Awoke with a Jerk
From the album Odessa
[Intro]
G5 F5 Eb5 C5
[Verse 1]
G5 F5
She awoke with a jerk
Eb5 C5
What had they done?
G5 F5
She awoke with the shock
Eb5 C5
What had they begun?
G5 F5
She awoke to the sound
Eb5 C5
of their blue-white laughter
G5 F5
Hot in her hands
Eb5 C5
and an idea for a chapter
[Chorus]
Bb5 A5 G5
All she wanted was fame
Bb5 A5 G5
or playing the marital game
Bb5 A5 G5
Maybe she just wanted love
Bb5 A5 G5
when death came and gave her a shove
[Interlude]
G5 F5 Eb5 C5
[Verse 2]
G5 F5
She awoke under the house
Eb5 C5
two nights after fall
G5 F5
Another screw loose
Eb5 C5
in the space they call crawl
G5 F5
She awoke and she thought,
Eb5 C5
where is the sky?
G5 F5
It's funny you know
Eb5 C5
how time flies
[Chorus]
Bb5 A5 G5
And she thought it was mud
Bb5 A5 G5
Always gave him her blood
Bb5 A5 G5
All she wanted to do
Bb5 A5 G5
was gaze up into the blue
[Interlude]
G5 F5 Eb5 C5
[Verse 3]
G5 F5
She awoke with a jerk
Eb5 C5
What had she done?
G5 F5
She awoke with the shock
Eb5 C5
What had she begun?
G5 F5
She awoke to the sound
Eb5 C5
of people who asked her
G5 F5
What do you want?
Eb5 C5
What is it you're after?
[Chorus]
Bb5 A5 G5
All she wanted to do
Bb5 A5 G5
was tell him, "You bastard, I'm through--
Bb5 A5 G5
can't do no more black shoe,
Bb5 A5 G5
with my nerves burning electric blue"
[Outro]
