Verse 1:

           A                                   F#m 

	She stepped down from her carriage at 10 Vermillon Street

            D                          E

	I took off my roustabout and slung it to her feet

           A                              F#m

	We went into her parlor and she cooled me with her fan

             D                               E             A

	But said i'll go no further with a fantasy makin' man





Verse 2:

          F#                                B                   

	I said i'd walk on Ponchatrain for what you have today

            E                                               A  

	Just to drink from your deep well and i'll be on my way

              F#                                B

	She laughed and heaven filled the room said this i give to you

             E                                                A

	This body's wisdom is the flesh,but here's a thing or two





Chorus:

          D        E        D      A   

	Death and hell are never full

              D              E       A

	And neither are the eyes of men

          D       E        D            A    

	Cats can fly from nine stories high

                      E        D

	And pigs can see the wind





Verse 3:

          A                            F#m

	She let me make my pallet in the moonlight on the floor

              D                        E

	Just outside of paradise but right in hell's back door

          A                              F#m                      

	The image of her nibbled at the eye of my soul

             D                            E               A

	My dreams were a hurricane and quite out of control



	

Verse 4:

             F#                                 B

	Then her voice came through the storm it's more than flesh i deal

             E                                         A

	You will have to pay for any wisdom that you steal

            F#                          B            

	I awoke to tinted windows and lavender and red

              E                                          A

	The first station of the cross is just above my head

           F#                       B 

	I awoke to gargoyles and a hard bench for my bed

           E                                                A      

	Jesus Christ and Pontias Pilate were just above my head





Chorus.
