Love Me Or Die chords by Shawn James

Verse 1:

Dm
I studied evil, I can't deny


              A
Was a hoodoo charm called a Love me or Die


Am
Some fingernail, a piece of her dress


            Dm
Apocathery, Devil's behes'

Dm                                     A
I will relate, the piteous consequence of my mistake

Falling slave to passing desire

Am                 Dm
Making the dreaded Love me or Die


Verse 2:

Dm
Under a Jungle primeval green


                       A
She had the looks of a beauty queen


                                    Am
No bangles or chain, wearing broken shoe


                         Dm
Seventy-five cent bottle perfume


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


                                   A
All the while I was cunning like a rat

Smiling gaily, looked her in the eye

Am                    Dm
I felt in pocket, the Love me or Die


Verse 3:

Dm
My past history, one to behold


                            A
I studied magic from days of old

Membership, secret societies

Am                         Dm
Power and wealth in my family


Dm
But Matilda, Darling


                              A
Why you don't take my wedding ring

Like a demon under the floor

Am                                Dm
I buried the hoodoo down the back door


Verse 4:

Dm
Lawd, word broke through the town


             Am
That a fever strike Matilda down


                          Am
Nine thirty, the doctor arrive


                                Dm
Priest come running, quarter to five


Dm
Standing in the weeds early next day


                     A
I saw the meat wagon rolling away


                             Am
I seen Matilda laying in the back


                                 Dm
Her old mother wearing a suit of black


Verse 5:

Dm
Sound the trumpet, and bang the drum


           A
I wait for me judgement to come


                          Am
I know her spirit is down beneath


           Dm
I hear the weeping and gnashing of the teeth


Dm
Flames of Hell licks at my feet


                      A
In the shadow of the Jungle I feel the heat


                     Am
Matilda's waiting in Hell for me too


              Dm
All cause she died from a bad hoodoo
