[Verse]
                 Am        E7         
By the turnstile beckons a damsel fair
    Dm Am                               E7   E
The ■  face of Melinda 'neath blackened hair ■
Dm           Am             E    E7 E
No joy would flicker in her eyes ■  ■
Dm Am               E    E7       
■  Brooding sadness came to a rise

[Verse]
                   Am Dbm  
Words would falter to atone
Em          Em7        Gbsus4   Gbm  
Failure had passed the stepping stone
        Gbm7      Esus4 E E7 Dbm    
She had sworn her vows  ■ to another
E       Am              Em     E Dm
This is when noone will bother ■ ■ 
             Am      E               Em
And conceded pain in crumbling mirth ■ 
            Am  A7       E     E7
A harlot of God upon the earth ■ 
Dm              Am             E   
Found where she sacrificed her ways
Am G           Am          E7  
■  That hollow love in her face

[Chorus]
Em                 Am           
Still I plotted to have her back
    Em          Em7        Gbsus4   Gb7  
The contentment that would fill the crack
Esus4   E7       E Am         Dbm 
My soul released a fluttering sigh
E    Em7 Am       B        G F Am  
This day fell the darkness ■ ■ nigh

[Verse]
                  G          
I took her by the hand to say
    Gbm                    F      Abm 
All faith forever has been washed away


[Chorus]
                      G           
I returned for you in great dismay
Gbm Gb7       Gbm    F    Am Dm   F Dm
■   Come with me far away to stay ■ ■

[Verse]
Abm                 G              
Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime
    Gbm7  Gb7                        Gbm   F
She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme ■


[Chorus]
Abm                 G                  
But baffled herself with the final line
Gbm                       F     Am Dm   
My promise is made but my heart is thine
