Duchess

guitar chords lyrics

Scott Walker

Intro: B F# E B


Verse 1

B F# E B
It's your bicycle bells and your Rembrandt swells

F# E B
Your children alive and still breathing

D#m A E B
And your look of lost when you're coming across

F# E B
Makes me feel like a thief when you're bleeding



Chorus

F# E B F# F#7
Duchess, Duchess, light up your candles for me

B F# E B F#
Duchess, Duchess, put all your love back in me

E B(add9)
I come listening, I touch, touching



Verse 2

B F# E B
With the Persian sea running through your veins

F# E B
You shed your names with the seasons

D#m A E B
Still they all return with their last remains

F# E B
And they lay them before you like reasons

F# E B
With your shimmering dress, it says 'no', it says 'yes'

F# E B
It says 'I've nothing left for concealing'

D#m A E B
It's your shiftless flesh and your old girl's grace

F# E B
It's your young girl's face that I'm breathing



Chorus

F# E B F# F#7
Duchess, Duchess, light up your candles for me

B F# E B F#
Duchess, Duchess, Duchess, put all the love back in me

E(add9) B(add9)
I'm lying, she's crying
