Standard Tuning, no capo C F G7 F well she stands all alone with her sorrow C F G7 like a bird that's afraid to sing F G7 C F G7 she lives for the pain tomorrow will bring F G7 F C will she call if she starts to fall F G7 C or will she silent go well her scarlet jasmine is tucked away 'neath her vest of purest gold and her eyes can't hardly help but say i'm cold will she call if she starts to fall or will she silent go well the winds that howl behind her face through the falsehoods in her mind ain't strong enough to leave her lace behind well her shelter starts to tremble as it holds her mind away from the golden flashin' symbols that say will she call if she starts to fall or will she silent go then her virgin mistress again she comes now no longer is she free to play upon her gypsy drums for me will she call if she starts to fall or will she silent go will she call when she starts to fall or will she silent go #--------------------------------------------------------------#
