Rachel
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Em
My name is Rachel, I was born here on the coldest day of May
G D
And I work here in this brothel, I do not feel ashamed
Cadd9 G Em
You can tell me the men are faithless, you can tell me the men are sin
Cadd9 G Dsus4 G
But I’ve cured the devils, I’ve held the innocent
[Verse 2]
G Em
There was a painter, he used to come here, at least when he could afford
G D
Which wasn’t often, but when he did, it was me he would implore
Cadd9 G Em
They told me he was crazy, but I did not seem to hear
Cadd9 G Dsus4 G
Until one night when he gave me a bloody piece of his ear
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Dsus4 Cadd9 G D
Oh Vincent, who has hurt you so, oh Vincent, how was I to know
Cadd9 G Em
In the long run, history will make it clear
G Cadd9 Dsus4 G
But all my screams will fill your dreams, some of passion some of fear
[Verse 3]
G Em
There was another painter, name of Gauguin, more famous I suppose
G Dsus4
They were friends, maybe lovers, oh with painters you never know
Cadd9 G Em
They were drinking, and they were fighting, Gauguin drew his blade
Cadd9 G Dsus4 G
And he slashed at poor Vincent and they never spoke again
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Dsus4 Cadd9 G Dsus4
Oh Vincent, who has hurt you so, oh Vincent, how were we to know
Cadd9 G Em
In the long run, history will make it clear
G Cadd9 Dsus4 G
But all my screams will fill your dreams, some of passion some of fear
[Verse 4]
G Em
All your sadness, it will vanish, whenever you choose to leave
G Cadd9 Dsus4
When you bury yourself in your painting, beneath the crows, amongst the wheat
Cadd9 G Em
And I will lie here and I will wonder about the gift you gave
Cadd9 G Dsus4 G
Was it your sickness, was it your madness or just a way to share your pain
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Dsus4 Cadd9 G Dsus4
Oh Vincent, who has hurt you so, oh Vincent, how were you to know
Cadd9 G Em
In the long run, history will make it clear
G Cadd9 Dsus4 G
But all my screams will fill your dreams, some of passion some of fear
G Cadd9 Dsus4 G
Ohh my screams will fill your dreams, some of passion some of fear
