The C/G is optional on the 3rd verse, Tom stays on G on some lines.) Intro: G C/G x2 G C G C/G The night my baby left me I crossed the bridge to Juarez avenue C G C G Like that movie 'Touch of evil' I got the Orson Wells, Marlene Dietrich blues C G Where Orson walks in to the whore house and C G C/G Marlene says 'Man, you look like hell' G And Orson's chewing on a chocolate bar C/G as the lights go on in the old Blue Star hotel C Bm 'Read my future' says old Orson, 'down inside the tea leaves of your cup' Am And she says 'You ain't got no future, Hank, C D G I believe your future's all used up' C G Why don't you touch me anymore? Why don't you touch me anymore? D G (G7) Why do you run away and hide? You know it hurts me deep inside C G Why do you close the bedroom door? This is a brutal little war D C G What good is all this fightin' for if you don't touch me anymore? G C/G (Chords like 1st verse, until notice) G C G C/G They shot 'A touch of evil' in a Venice, California colony C G And I grew near those dead canals C G where they filmed the longest pan shot ever made C G C G C/G Now I'm thinking about the movie, the bar I'm in, the bridge, the Rio Grande G C/G Now I'm thinking about my baby and the borderline 'tween a woman and a man C Bm I was drunk as Orson Wells the night I crawled backwards out the door Am C D G I was screaming 'Baby, baby how come you touch me anymore?' CHORUS: G C/G x3 (Chords like 2nd verse) G C G C/G Oh, someone rolled the credits on twenty years of love turned dark and raw C G C G Not a technicolor love film, it's a brutal document, it's film noir C G C G C/G And it's all played out on a borderline and the actors are tragically miscast G C/G Like a Mexican burlesk show where the characters are wearing comic masks C Bm Oh, it's love and love alone I cry to the barmen in this Juarez waterhole Am C D G As we raise a glass to Orson and 'A touch of evil' livin' our souls CHORUS: Outro: G C/G x3 G (Stop)
