"The Passion of Lovers"
By: Bauhaus
Words and Music: Bauhaus

This song is very effective (and fun!) when played on an acoutic
twelve-string.

The intro. is a very simple alternation between the open E and D
strings, then fingering the F on the first fret of the E.

Have fun!

She had nut painted arms, that were her's to keep

                                  GG Piano Chord 

And in her fear, she sought cracked pleasures.

The passion of lovers is for death, said she,

EmEm Piano Chord 
                         GG Piano Chord 

licked her lips, and turned to feather.

And as I watched from underneath,

EmEm Piano Chord 
                                          GG Piano Chord 

I became aware of all that she'd keep.

EmEm Piano Chord 
                                           GG Piano Chord 

Those little foxes, so safe and sound,

EmEm Piano Chord 
                                         GG Piano Chord 

They were not dead, they'd gone to ground.

The passion of lovers is for death, said she-----

                 EmEm Piano Chord 

The passion of lovers is for death.  (repeat)

She breaks her heart just a little too much,
and her jokes attract the lucky, bad type.
And when she dips and whails and slips her banshee smile
She gets the bigger of the better to the letter.

(repeat chorus to end)
