Ballad Of Grimaldi

Biography:

Babyshambles is a band formed in London, England by Peter Doherty (Pete) as a side-project to (and later full time after departing) The Libertines.

The band's first single, Babyshambles, was released in April 2004 on High Society Records. Fewer than 1,000 copies of the CD and 7" were released and both can now be found changing hands for more than £50 on internet auction sites such as eBay.

During September and October 2004 Babyshambles embarked on a UK tour culminating in two sold-out shows at the London Scala.

Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
While there's still a fighting chance
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff 2
Can't you just get up and go
Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
And get away from this hollow romance
B7 Ebdim7 Em
It's slowly binding us both

(Em) Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
Because you tell me what you want and I'll avoid it
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff 2
Tell it to the sick and to the damned
Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
Show me what you love, watch me destroy it
B7 Ebdim7 Em
For your love just crumbles in my hands

B7
C
But if you stay for a while
G (Hammer down A-string)
I'll try to think of something kind to say
C
And maybe if we pray for a while
B7
St. Jude might hear my pleas
B7
And see me on my knees
C
Because she knows how I adore you
B7
We won't be fighting again tonight
C
Not if she knows I adore you
Em
Fighting in the streets

Riff 2

Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
I laugh and fall just like Grimaldi
B7 Ebdim7 Em
You wear your make-up like Baby Jane
Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
All of those promising lies that you told me
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff 2
Come on and tell me them again

Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
I walked these streets all of my life
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff 2
The fear and hope at every turn
Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
She took him, two stepped me and made him a wife
B7 Ebdim7 Em
Oh I know, and you know they'll crash an burn

(Em) Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
Because she'll tell him what she wants and he'll avoid it
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff
May as well tell it to the sick and to the damned
Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
Show him what you love, watch him destroy it
B7 Ebdim7 Em
For your love seems to crumble in his hands

(Em) Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
Because you tell me what you want and I'll avoid it
B7 Ebdim7 Em Riff 2
Tell it to the sick and to the damned
Am C Fmaj7 Em Riff 1
Show me what you love, watch me destroy it
B7 Ebdim7 Em
For your love just crumbles in my hands
