Sparklehorse - Most Beautiful Widow In Town
INTRO
C G Bm7 C9 x2
VERSE 1
C G Bm7 C9
We were both standing in your mother's living room
C G Bm7 C9
sweating up a storm in that terrible month of June
C G Bm7 C9
and the sweat rolled down your cheek and into your mouth
C G Bm7
I knew this must've been a dream 'cos your mother would never let me in her
C
house
CHORUS
Em D/F# G D
you are the most beautiful widow
Em D/F# G D
you are the most beautiful widow
Am Bm7 C D
you are the most beautiful widow in town
VERSE 2
C G Bm7 C9
Many years later in the glassy month of December
C G Bm7 C9
I stood with my hands in my pockets, trying to avoid
C G Bm7 C9
That shiny wedding portrait, hanging on that old woman's wall
C G Bm7 C9
'cause I knew you'd be wearing a smile that's be too painful to look upon
CHORUS
Em D/F# G D
you are the most beautiful widow
Em D/F# G D
you are the most beautiful widow
Am Bm7 C D
you are the most beautiful widow in town
