[Verse 1]
|Gb     | Gb/F | Ab/Eb | Ebm |
 Take my blood and take my marrow,
| Gbadd9    | Bbm7/F     | Fm   | Eb |
 Scrape the meal from my bone,
| Gbadd9  | Bbm7/F     | Ab/Eb          | Eb |
Pierce my heart if you please, with your arrow,
| Gm         | Bbm        | Gb | Gb |
But Veda, my darling, come home.

[Verse 2]
| Ebm   | Bbm     | Ab   | Gb  |
Darling child, for you I labor,
| C7      | Fm        | Cm | G |
Grease and glass in my skin,
| Ebm7   | Bbm7/F           | Abm       | Eb       | 
Though you sneer, and crack wise I won't waver, but
| A     | Db/F        | Ab       | Db |
Veda, my darling, come in, come in.

[Chorus]
| Fm         | Ab                | Eb  |
Sweet thing, let me dress you for bed,
   | Bbm                  | Gb    
Now slip that gown off your head,
    | Db                   | Ab      | Ebm  |
I'll kiss you one thousand times, my angel.
| B       | Gm                | A 
Close your eyes, and my savage mind
     | Dm/A             | Gm     | Bb/F   
Will fashion a day when you'd be tender,
             | F  | Fm
When you'd be kind. For you see the

[Verse 3]
| Ebm  | Bbm       | Ab      | Gb     |
Star beneath which you were delivered
| C7      | Fm        | Cm   | G |
Gave you cold-hearted pride,
| Ebm7   | B Bbm7/F    | Abm       | Eb     |
You look down on your mother who loves you;
  | A          | Db/F            | Ab            | Db     |
You take without grace - though it smarts - I don't mind.

|Fm     | Ab             | Eb
If your lover has done you wrong, you
|Bbm                       | Gb
Slipped as you gripped his gun
    | Db                    | Ab   | Ebm
And found yourself o'er his lifeless body.
| B       | Gm                 | A
Child, I'd rush to turn myself in and
| Dm/A              | Ebmaj7   
Claim that it was my sin,
  | Bb/F      |F | Fm 
To spare you.     Yes, for darling

[Verse 4]
| Ebm  | Bbm   | Ab      | Gb     |
In this town of light and shadow
| C7         | Fm        | Cm   | G |
Dreams become crooked and low,
| Ebm7   | Bbm7   | Abm       | Eb     |
If I've lost my way it was only to please you,
| A          | Db/F            | Ab | Db     |
But Veda, my darling, you already know.
