Bashee playing magician sitting lotus on the floor
Em7 Bm
Belly-dancing beauty with a power-driven saw
Em7 Bm7
Had my share of nightmares,didn't think there could be much more
G A Bm7
Then in came Roderick Usher with the lady Eleanore
Verse 2:
Em7 Bm7
She tied my eyes with a ribbon of a silken ghostly thread,
Em7 Bm
I gazed with troubled vision on an old four-poster bed
Em7 Bm7
Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head
G A Bm7
And bid me come a long with her to the land of the dancing dead,
G A Dmaj7 Gmaj7
But it's all - right, Lady Elea nore,
G A Dmaj7 Gmaj7
All - right, Lady Elea nore,
D A E
I'm al right where I am.
Verse 3:
She gazed with loving beauty, like a mother to a son,
Like living, dying,seeing, being all rolled into one,
Then all at once I heard some music playing in my bones,
The same old song I'd heard for years, reminding me of home,
Chorus, (tab).
Verse 4:
Then creeping on towards me licking lips with tongues of fire
A host of golden demons screaming 'Lust!' and 'Base desire!'
And when it seemed for certain that the screams could get no higher
I heard a voice above the rest, screaming 'You're a liar!'
G A Dmaj7 Gmaj7
But it's all - right, Lady Elean - -ore,
G A Dmaj7 Gmaj7
all- right, Lady Elean - or,
D A E
I'm al- right where I am
D A7 E
I'm all right here in your arms
