Intro added by Steve Kvech skvech@vt.edu

The chords below look fine.  I just wanted to add an intro
which I picked out by listening to the CD. I think its pretty
darn close.

Now go into the following

part 1: A E F#m D
part 2: D E F#m C#m D Bm E

        A
We went down
                   E
To the old part of town
                F#m
By the stinking canal
           D
The cotton mill

Under a ghetto palm
With her bicycle shorts on
With a gesture
She said to me

D        E    F#m     C#m
I really must confess
             D       Bm
I'd to get undressed
     E
With you

Though the thought
Had never really crossed my mind
Oh, but that was lie
So we went along

We went out
Under the turning leaves
Fetted earth
Was damp and cool

Autumn's feeble lights
On her salty neck
All innocence was lost

I really must confess
I'm  feeling quite distressed
My stars are always crossed

And I have alway taken
More than I have given back
And as a matter of fact
I've given nothing up


Solo: violins and whatnot.

Finish with:

|D------6b7---|
|E---0--------|

The end
