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
