Warren Zevon - Carmelita

      
 
 This is one of the songs off his devut album Warren Zevon. He is the only artist who
 write a touching love song involving herion. This should be pretty much right. There
 be another chorus repeated during the solo. I can't quite remember. But here's what I know.
