Melinda

Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste [Intro] D C G D x2 [Verse] D Far up in the foothills C Deep in Tennessee G I found her crumpled cabin D Where the wind can only breathe I knocked upon the oaken door C And shuddered at my gloom G For scarcely had the night begun D When the clouds did shroud the moon Her haggled face came forward C As whispered through the night G She asked if I would lead her D For she'd long since lost her eyes She sat me down beside the fire C It's slowly dying coal G And outside tho the wind did scream D The cabin only moaned [Interlude] D C F G D [Verse] D And then she asked me questions C Of my parents and my place G To my reply I'd never known D A smile did crack the face You see she said your mother died C As you did leave the womb G But left inside a twin did lie D Kicking at his tomb C And tho just then the cabin door went crashing on it's hinge G D And just outside a woman stood her hair like blackened fringe C Them that haunt, they see in me, she screamed and turned to run G D Yet through the wind I heard her say the dead can bear no sons Then the hag did stand again C She hobbled on her cane G D Clutching at the gnarled door she called my mothers name D C F G Melinda, Melinda x5 [Outro] D C F G
