[Verse 1]
Dm           Am
  By the turnstile beckons a damsel fair
Dm           Am
  The face of  Melinda neath blackened hair
Dm       Am
  No joy would flicker in her eyes
Dm     Am
  Brooding sadness came to a rise

[Verse 2]
Em                 Am      C#m
Words would falter to atone
Em                     F#
Failure had passed the stepping stone
    Em            Am             C#m
She had sworn her vows to another
Em     Am     B7
This is  when noone will bother

[Verse 3]
Dm         Am
  And conceded pain in crumbling mirth
Dm        Am
  A harlot  of God upon the earth
Dm            Am
  Found where she sacrificed her ways
Dm        Am
  That hollow love in her face

Still

[Verse 4]
Em           Am           C#m
I plotted to have her back
       Em                  F#
The contentment that would fill the crack
   Em              Am             C#m
My soul released a fluttering sigh
Em      Am          B7           Fm Am
This day  fell, the darkness nigh

[Verse 5]
G#m                  G
   I took her by the hand to say
F#m                           F
   All faith forever has been washed away
I returned for you in great dismay
                          A5  D5
Come with me, far away to stay

[Verse 6]
G#m                       G
   Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime
F#m                                     F
   She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme
But baffled herself with the final line
                                   A5   D5 A5 D5 A5 D5 A5 D5 A5
My promise is made but my heart is thine
