Death and Hell The Highwaymen
Verse 1:
Sh[A]e stepped down from her carriage at [F#m]10 Vermillon Street
I t[D]ook off my roustabout and s[E]lung it to her feet
We[A] went into her parlor and she c[F#m]ooled me with her fan
But [D]said i'll go no further with a f[E]antasy makin' [A]man
Verse 2:
I[F#] said i'd walk on Ponchatrain for [B]what you have today
Jus[E]t to drink from your deep well and i'll be on my[A] way
She l[F#]aughed and heaven filled the room [B]said this i give to you
This[E] body's wisdom is the flesh,but here's a thing or[A] two
Chorus:
D[D]eath and [E]hell are [D]never f[A]ull
And n[D]either are the [E]eyes of [A]men
C[D]ats can [E]fly from [D]nine stories [A]high
And pigs can [E]see the w[D]ind
Verse 3:
S[A]he let me make my pallet in t[F#m]he moonlight on the floor
Just [D]outside of paradise but r[E]ight in hell's back door
T[A]he image of her nibbled at the [F#m]eye of my soul
My d[D]reams were a hurricane and qu[E]ite out of contr[A]ol
Verse 4:
Then[F#] her voice came through the storm i[B]t's more than flesh i deal
You [E]will have to pay for any wisdom that you s[A]teal
I a[F#]woke to tinted windows and l[B]avender and red
The f[E]irst station of the cross is just above my [A]head
I [F#]awoke to gargoyles and a [B]hard bench for my bed
Je[E]sus Christ and Pontias Pilate were just above my [A]head
Chorus.
