Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The[C] ni[G]ght[C] my[G] baby left me
[C]I crossed the bridge to Juarez aven[G]ue
Like that movie "Touch of evil" I got the [C]Orson Wells,
Marlene Dietrich [G]blues
Where Orson walks in to
the whore house and
[C]Marlene says "Man, you look like hel[G]l"
And Orson's chewing on
a chocolate bar
As the [C]lights go on in the
old Blue Star [G]hotel
"Read my [C]fu ture" says old Orson,
"down inside the tea leaves of your cup"
[Bm]And she [C]says "You [Am]ain't
got no future, [C]Hank,
I believe your fu[D]ture's
all [G]used up"

[Verse 2]
[Chorus] Why don't [C]you
touch me anymore? Why
don't you [G]touch me anymore?
Why do you [D]run away and hide?
You know it [G]hurts me deep inside
Why do you [C]close the bedroom
door? This is a [G]brutal little war
What good is [D]all this fightin' for if
you don't [C]touch me anymore?
[G]

[Verse 3]
They shot "A touch of evil" in a [C]Venice,
California [G]colony
And I grew near those dead canals
Where they [C]filmed the longest
pan shot ever [G]made
Now I'm thinking about the movie,
[C]the bar I'm in, the bridge, the Rio [G]Grande
Now I'm thinking about my baby and the
[C]borderline 'tween a woman and a [G]man
I was [C]drunk as Orson Wells the night
I crawled backwards out [Bm]the door
[C]I w[Am]as screaming "Baby,
[C]baby how come you touch me anymore?"
[D]

[Verse 4]
[Chorus] [C]Oh,
[G][D][C][G]
[C]som[G]eon[C]e r[G]olled the credits
on [C]twenty years of love turned dark and [G]raw
Not a technicolor love film,
it's a [C]brutal document, it's film [G]noir
And it's all played out on a borderline
and the [C]actors are tragically [G]miscast
Like a Mexican burlesque show where the
[C]characters are wearing comic [G]masks
[C]Oh, it's love and love alone I cry to the
barmen in this Juarez water[Bm]hole
As we [Am]raise a glass to Orson and "A
[C]touch of evil" livin' our souls
[D][Chorus]
