	G	C	G	C/G
The	night my baby left me I	crossed the bridge to Juarez a	venu	e

	C	G	C
	Like that	movie "Touch of evil" I got the	Orson Wells, Marlene Dietrich

	G
	blues

	C	G
	Where Orson	walks in to the whore house and

	C	G	C/G
	Marlene says "Man, you look like	hel	l"

	G
And Orson's	chewing on a chocolate bar

	C/G
as the l	ights go on in the old Blue Star hotel

	C	Bm
"Read my	future" says old Orson, "down inside the tea leaves of your	cup"

	Am
And she says "	You ain't got no future, Hank,

	C	D	G
	I believe your f	uture's all used	up"

	C	G
Why don't you	touch me anymore? Why don't you	touch me anymore?

	D	G	G7
Why do you	run away and hide? You know it	hurts me deep inside

	C	G
Why do you	close the bedroom door? This is a	brutal little war

	D	C	G
What good is	all this fightin' for if you don't	touch me any	more?

C/G

(Chords like 1st verse, until notice)

	G	C	G	C/G
They	shot "A touch of evil" in a	Venice, California colo	ny

	C	G
	And I grew near	those dead canals

	C	G
where they filmed the	longest pan shot ever	made

	C	G	C	G	C/G
	Now I'm thinking a	bout the movie, the	bar I'm in, the bridge, the Rio	Grande

	G	C/G
Now I'm t	hinking about my baby and the	borderline 'tween a woman and a man

	C	Bm
I was d	runk as Orson Wells the night I crawled backwards out the	door

	Am	C	D	G
I was	screaming "Baby, baby	how come you	touch me any	more?"

CHORUS:

G C/G x3

(Chords like 2nd verse)

	G	C	G	C/G
Oh, some	one rolled the credits on	twenty years of love turned dark and	raw

	C	G	C	G
Not a	technicolor l	ove film, it's a	brutal document, it's film	noir

C/G

And it's all played out on a borderline and the actors are tragically miscast

	G	C/G
Like a Mexican bur	lesk show where the	characters are wearing comic masks

	C	Bm
Oh, it's	love and love alone I cry to the barmen in this Juarez water	hole

	Am	C	D	G
As we raise a	glass to Orson and	"A touch of evil"	livin' our	souls

CHORUS:

Outro: G C/G x3 G
