Avé Maria Chords

[Intro]
D Am C G D
 
[Verse]
D                               Am
 The rain fell on the street of grey
C                                  G D
The steeple, lightning rod, the cross
D                               Am
 The words, the vow, the ring, the kiss
C                   G D
 Someone sang Avé Maria
 
[Chorus]
C                 Am
My sweetest girl, my dangeress
D                B7
Broke the window of my chest
Em               C
A heart shot far from this world
D               B7
Until it slowly came to rest
Em                     C            Em C
Inside the strangeness of her breast
 Em              C            Em C
My danger girl, my tigeress
 
[Verse]
D                  Am
History led her to me
 C                        G D
Each footstep cut in memory
D                       Am
 Clad in a dress of silver-grey
C                             G D
 She walked into our wedding day
 
[Chorus]
C                 Am
My sweetest girl, my dangeress
D                B7
Broke the window of my chest
Em               C
A heart shot far from this world
D               B7
Until it slowly came to rest
Em                     C            Em C
Inside the strangeness of her breast
 Em              C            Em C
My danger girl, my tigeress
 
[Chorus]
D-D-D
C                      Am
And through the daily devastation
D                    B7
We are but in each other's wake
Em                         C
And in the coldness of the station
D                       B7
We board the train all lovers take
Em                     C            Em C
But when I try to talk to her
Em                     C            Em C
I don't speak that language anymore
 
[Bridge]
D C Am D B7 Em C D B7
Em C Em C Em C Em C D
 
D                           Am
For though my crimes remain unnamed
C                           G D
 All my treasons, all my shames
D                       Am
Later you would rightly say
C                               D
We didn't dance upon our wedding day
