Verse 1:
A minorAm   G+G      C majorC
James incurred the wrath
C majorC   E MajorE   A minorAm
of a jealous woman
A minorAm    G+G   C majorC
Not long after that

spending all his weekends

How a young man yearns after a noose

Poor poor James

Verse 2:
Most nights he has dreams
all his teeth are missing
Wakes up in a sweat
Simpleton heart racing
He throws back the sheets
Begins to weep without much feeling
Poor poor James

Bridge

Verse 3:
Desire is what makes
Upright mammals human
Put me out to graze
Give this beast a burden
Because the universe
Makes much more sense without a purpose
Poor poor James
