St Petersburg chords by Robyn Hitchcock

• Difficulty: Beginner

🎸 Intro:

Am F D7 E



🎸 Verse 1:
   Am        F
In St Petersburg in the night
     D7      E
Where the light shines down on the snow
    Am         F
On the bannisters, what a mess
    D7    E
I can't guess at what I don't know

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

🎸 Verse 2:
    Am         F
And in Williamsburg by the lake
     D7     E
Where the stake went deep in your heart
    Am         F
On the bannisters, it's alright
    D7      E
It's so tight that it drives you apart

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

🎸 Solo:
Am F D7 E
Am F D7 E

🎸 Chorus:
C          Em
 She cuts like a knife
          F
 She cuts like a wife
        E         C
 She cuts like someone I once knew
            Em
 She cuts like a stream
           F
 Flows into your dream
       E
 You cut me and I bleed for
