A minorAm FF D7D7 E MajorE


🎸 Verse 1:
   A minorAm        FF
In St Petersburg in the night
     D7D7      E MajorE
Where the light shines down on the snow
    A minorAm         FF
On the bannisters, what a mess
    D7D7    E MajorE
I can't guess at what I don't know

🎸 Chorus:
C majorC          E minorEm
 She cuts like a knife
          FF
 She cuts like a wife
        E MajorE         C majorC
 She cuts like someone I once knew
           E minorEm
 She cuts like a stream
          FF
 Flows into my dream
       E MajorE
 You cut me and I bleed for you

🎸 Verse 2:
    A minorAm         FF
And in Williamsburg by the lake
     D7D7     E MajorE
Where the stake went deep in your heart
    A minorAm         FF
On the bannisters, it's alright
    D7D7      E MajorE
It's so tight that it drives you apart

🎸 Chorus:
C majorC         E minorEm
 She hangs from a hook
          FF
 She hangs like a cook
        E MajorE
 Had gone and hung her up there
C majorC             E minorEm
 She spins 'round and 'round
            FF
 Three feet off the ground
       E MajorE
 But why she does
I don't care

 Flows into your dream

 You cut me and I bleed for
