C/G Dm Dm C/G
[Verse 1]
C/G Am F Em
I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love,
C/G Dm G
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night,
C/G Am F Em
And her hair, in a fine mist floats on my pillow,
C/G Dm F G C/G
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight.
C/G Dm Dm C/G (same as intro)
[Verse 2]
C/G Am F Em
She is soft, she is warm, but my heart remains heavy,
C/G Dm G
And I watch as her breasts gently rise, gently fall,
C/G Am F Em
For I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving,
C/G Dm F G C/G
And tonight will be all I have left to recall.
C/G Dm Dm C/G
[Verse 3]
C/G Am F Em
Oh, what have I done, why have I done it,
C/G Dm G
I've committed a crime, I've broken the law,
C/G Am F Em
For twenty-five dollars and pieces of silver,
C/G Dm F G C/G
I held up and robbed a hard liquor store.
C/G Dm Dm C/G
[Verse 4]
C/G Am F Em
My life seems unreal, my crime an illusion,
C/G Dm G
A scene badly written in which I must play,
C/G Am F Em
Yet I know as I gaze at my young love beside me,
C/G Dm F G C/G
The morning is just a few hours away.
[Outro]
C/G Dm Dm Dm C/G (Last chord one strum)
