Love Me Or Die chords by Shawn James

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

DmDm
I studied evil, I can't deny


       A augmentedA
Was a hoodoo charm called a Love me or Die


A minorAm
Some fingernail, a piece of her dress


      DmDm
Apocathery, Devil's behes'

DmDm                   A augmentedA
I will relate, the piteous consequence of my mistake

Falling slave to passing desire

A minorAm         DmDm
Making the dreaded Love me or Die


Verse 2:

DmDm
Under a Jungle primeval green


            A augmentedA
She had the looks of a beauty queen


                  A minorAm
No bangles or chain, wearing broken shoe


             DmDm
Seventy-five cent bottle perfume


DmDm
I said, "good morning", I tipped my hat


                  A augmentedA
All the while I was cunning like a rat

Smiling gaily, looked her in the eye

A minorAm          DmDm
I felt in pocket, the Love me or Die

Verse 3:

DmDm
My past history, one to behold


              A augmentedA
I studied magic from days of old

Membership, secret societies

A minorAm             DmDm
Power and wealth in my family


DmDm
But Matilda, Darling


               A augmentedA
Why you don't take my wedding ring

Like a demon under the floor

A minorAm                DmDm
I buried the hoodoo down the back door


Verse 4:

DmDm
Lawd, word broke through the town


       A minorAm
That a fever strike Matilda down


             A minorAm
Nine thirty, the doctor arrive


                DmDm
Priest come running, quarter to five


DmDm
Standing in the weeds early next day


           A augmentedA
I saw the meat wagon rolling away


               A minorAm
I seen Matilda laying in the back


                 DmDm
Her old mother wearing a suit of black


Verse 5:

DmDm
Sound the trumpet, and bang the drum


      A augmentedA
I wait for me judgement to come


             A minorAm
I know her spirit is down beneath


      DmDm
I hear the weeping and gnashing of the teeth


DmDm
Flames of Hell licks at my feet


           A augmentedA
In the shadow of the Jungle I feel the heat


           A minorAm
Matilda's waiting in Hell for me too


       DmDm
All cause she died from a bad hoodoo
