After The Fall

This is my first tab - felt I needed to give after enjoying everyone else’s efforts. Great underrated Elvis song - play with menacing 3/4 on the verses and enjoy. In an anonymous rendez-vous where the forbidden lovers repair They’re burning down another damned candle they’re melting the tables and chairs Beneath them applause from the balcony whenever they accomplish making love     Other times they thought they heard laughter coming from the balcony above                             She lies to his right and she carelessly recites All of her brand new appetites She seems brittle and small it don’t sound like her at all Since she came back to him after the fall She said "You never visit the countryside So I’ve made you a country to order" She put up a little tent in the bedroom Crickets played on a tape recorder The ceiling was festooned with phosphorus stars She noticed his skin turning cold Burning all his clothes on the bonfire Relax she whispered and tightened the blindfold                            She lies to his right and she carelessly recites Fm#                      C#m All of her brand new appetites She seems brittle and small it don’t sound like her at all Since she came back to him after the fall "You’ve changed but not for the better babe I’d tell you why but what’s the use ’Cause it’s the same kind of pity A drunkard gives as his excuse You were sharp and ideal as a bobby-pin Now your eyes are deserted and quiet We both look like those poor shattered mannequins Thrown through the window in a riot"                            She lies in his arms and without any qualms Revels in shallow delight She seems brittle and small it don’t sound like her at all Since she came back to him after the fall
