INTRO
E        CM7    D

VERSE I
E                        CM7      D
My name is Leslie Anne Levine.
E                           CM7        D
My mother birthed me down a dry ravine.
E                    CM7      D
My mother birthed me far to soon.
E                        A       D
Born at nine and dead at noon.

CHORUS I
A
Fifteen years gone now, I still wander this 
C#
parapet and shake my rattle bone.
A
Fifteen years gone now, I still cling to the 
C#                C        Bb        E        CM7    D 
petticoats of the girl who died with me.

VERSE II
On the roofs above the streets,
the only love I've known to chimney sweep.
lost and lodged inside a flue
back in eighteen forty-two.

CHORUS II
Fifteen years gone now, I still wail from these
catacombs and curse my mother's name.
Fofteen years gone now, still a wastrel
mesallied has brought this fate on me.

VERSE III
My name is Leslie Anne Levine
and I've got no one left to mourn for me.
My body lies inside it's grave
in a ditch not far away.

REPEAT CHORUS I
