Biography:
Mark Eitzel (born January 30, 1959) is best known as lead singer of the San Francisco band american music club. He was voted Rolling Stone's Songwriter of the Year in 1991.
Eitzel's first solo album was the (now elusive) cassette-only 'Mean Mark Eitzel Gets Fat' (1982), which pre-dates his AMC work. He released a solo live album, songs of love live in 1991, featuring raw and emotional acoustic versions of his best AMC songs. His first solo album proper was 1996's 60 Watt Silver Lining, a highly personal, jazz-inflected work.

[Intro]
Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4
[Verse 1]
Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4
La Llorona knew love
Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E
Her heart spilled like wine
Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4
Her laugh could shatter glass
Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E
Always brought the real good time
Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4
But she loved her men too much
Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E
And they loved to misbehave
Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4
She was the lightning strike
Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E
That turns the thunder brave
Eb
And if you shine too bright
Db
You vanish in the glare
Eb
You lose your light
Db
Like you were never there
[Chorus]
Eb
She was lost in love
Fm
Lost and found
Db
The faggot, the junkie
Csus4 C
The runaround
[Verse 2]
Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4
She let one use her to hide behind
Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E
Let one use her to hide his pain
Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4
Let one use her just for fun
Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E
To be a pawn in white worlds game
Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4
And that turned her dreams to ash
Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E
Like a footprint on the moon
Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4
Shattered dreams don’t fade
Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E
In a desecrated tomb
Eb
That’s when the tears started
Db
Tears that can’t be outrun
Eb
Left her so brokenhearted
Db
You’re holding a smoking gun
[Chorus]
Eb
Love is the blood
Fm
Where you drown
Db
The faggot, the junkie The runaround
Eb
Love is the blood
Fm
Where you drown
Db
The faggot, the junkie
Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C
The runaround
[Verse 3]
Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4
Now the curses of the dead
Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E
Pour down La Llorona’s cheeks
Gm Gsus4 Gm Gsus4
They stare there from her face
Em7b5 C7/E Em7b5 C7/E
Like stars beyond reach
Eb
Her hands hold the blade
Db
Her eyes the long abyss
Eb
Her tears the serenade
Db
For those who taste her kiss
[Chorus]
Eb
Love is the blood
Fm
Where you drown
Db
The faggot, the junkie The runaround
Eb
Love is the blood
Fm
Where you drown
