'Seņor and the Queen".
Tuning: D Standard (DGCFAD)
Intro: Em, D, C, D (x4)
Verse 1:
Em G D Em G D
I cut my teeth on the stone of a teenage romance
Em G D Em G D
I was the salt of the earth, I was hard, and the last of the independents
C D Em
And the breath from my chest I was blowing kerosene
C D Em
My lips and fingertips were stone, I wore my heart on my jeans
C D Em
I sang the blues like the dogs left too long in the street
C D Em
I still sing the blues with the dogs
Chorus:
G D Em
And I got half a mind to let it all burn up in this fire
G D Em
That's been burning through my veins since I first learned to cry
G D Em
I'd watch this whole night come down and never miss her again
C D
I never felt right and never fit in
(Intro)
Walking in my own skin

Verse 2:
Em G D Em G D
Now I got scars like the number of stars, my mind's full of vipers
Em G D Em G D
I got the dust of the desert in my bones, coming through the amplifiers
C D Em
Between the minor chord fall and the fourth and the fifth
C D Em
It's a broken Hallelujah and a pain in my fist
C D Em
I wash my hands like the man with the blood on his teeth
C D Em
Over and over without relief
Chorus 2:
G D Em
And I got nothing for you darling but a story to tell
G D Em
About the rain on the pavement and the sound as it fell
G D Em
I'd watch this whole night come down and never miss her again
C D
I never felt right and never fit in
G D Em
Walking in my old man shoes, with my scientist heart
G D Em
I got a fever and a beaker and a shot in the dark
G D Em
I need a Cadillac ride, I need a soft summer night
C D
Say a prayer for my soul, Seņorita
Outro:
Em D C
Because I've been dying out here in the cold and the snow
Em D C
I've got a picture of you, Mama, to remind me of home
Em D C
On the hood of a Dodge on a Saturday night
C D
Say a prayer for my soul, Seņorita
