Verse 1:
    E                                   A
She wrote you a letter, you ain't never read it
F#m                      B                        E
Sat out on your doorstep   since the day that she sent it
E                                            A
She had lots to say but the words just blew away
    F#m                       B                 E
The letters got replaced with things she didn't say

Verse 2:
E                                             A
Nail a crow to the fence and behold death's romance
    F#m                     B                          E
The rest of the murder bear witness from the telephone wires
     E                                        A
Lost lovers and friends, well they will all attend
     F#m               B                E
With roses and incense   on the funeral pyre


Chorus:
    C#m                       B
She wrote it all down with an eagle's feather
A                     E
Dipped in cocaine and blood
  C#m                 B
A diamond needle on a broken record
     A            B
Of a melody never sung

Verse 3:
    E                                         A
You stumbled for hours over pages with gilded edges
F#m               B                            E
Ink and newsprint   smeared with cliffs, sharp ledges
    E                                      A
The image you saw, out of focus and out of turn
   F#m                  B                   E
An envelope left in the light of the rising moon


Chorus:
    C#m                       B
She wrote it all down with an eagle's feather
A                     E
Dipped in cocaine and blood
  C#m                 B
A diamond needle on a broken record
     A            B
Of a melody never sung

Verse 4:
E                                       A
Time has left a handful of tear-stained pages
F#m                 B               E
Washed out memories   left lost and faded
       E                                A
You've called out her name, only left unsettled
  F#m                B                 E
A lone phonograph, a thousand unspoken words


Chorus:
    C#m                       B
She wrote it all down with an eagle's feather
A                     E
Dipped in cocaine and blood
  C#m                 B
A diamond needle on a broken record
     A            B
Of a melody never sung
