The Torch Singer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The night club was [C]burning
From the [D]torch singer's [G]song
And [C]the sweat was [G]floodin' her [D]eyes
The [G]catwalk squeaked
'Neath the bar[C]tender's [G]feet
And the smoke was too [D]heavy
to rise
[G]

[Verse 2]
[Chorus:]
[C]She sang of the love [G]that I left her
And of the [C]woman that
[G]she'll never [D]be
Made [G]me feel like the buck
and [C]a quarter
That I [D]paid 'em to listen and [G]see[C]
I [D]paid 'em to listen and [G]see[C][D][G]
I was born down in [C]Kansas
'Neath the [D]October [G]sky
Work [C]the day shift from [G]seven [D]to three
And the [G]only relief [C]that I receive
[G]Is nearer my God[D] to The[G]e
She con[C]stantly throws me off [G]timing
Leaves [C]me standing both
[G]naked and [D]bare
Makes me [G]feel like the Sunday [D]fun[C]nies
After [D]everything's gone off
the [G]air[C][D]
Everything's gone [G]off the air
[C]I p[D]ick[G]ed through the ashes[C]
Of the [D]torch singer's [G]song
And I [C]ordered my [G]money a [D]round
For [G]whiskey and pain
[C]Both taste [G]the same
During [D]the time they go down

[Verse 3]
