Tuning Standard


VERSE
      Gm
Don't stray from the path
             
The good people say 
      Cm
Well, she never did 

But in a grove she lay 
    D
The snow, it was falling 
     B
As a stranger passed by 
     Gm
And gazed right into 
     D                Gm
Her lifeless, little eyes 

VERSE
There was something about her 
The good people say 
Rumours start spreading 
Once started, they'll stay 
She went with the wolves 
A whisper goes round 
Her skin was ripped and torn 
The night she was found 

BRIDGE
Gm                
And on her bare breast 
Cm              Gm
A frozen flower lay 
   Gm 
It was a violet 
Cm                 Gm
That's what people say 

CHORUS
Gm
Violets were your favourite flowers 
Cm                     D
You always smiled when I 
             Gm
Gave them to you 
       Cm
Now I stand at your grave 

Trembling for hours 
Gm
My numb hands clutch 

At frozen flowers 
                  F
But flowers won't do 
              Gm
No more smile comes from you... 

VERSE
She was that kind of woman 
Man loves to adore 
But her tender kisses 
Left me longing for more 
I try to be humble 
The best that I can 
But there is a wolf 
Hiding in every man. 

VERSE
It lays there waiting 
And when the time's right 
Love turns to hunger 
In a dark grove at night. 
What difference does it make 
If you run, scream or cry? 
When a wolf has scented the blood 
All that's left is to die... 

BRIDGE
Even if I placed a violet 
Into a cold hand 
Some things had to happen 
There's no way to pretend 


CHORUS
Gm
Violets were your favourite flowers 
Cm                     D
You always smiled when I 
             Gm
Gave them to you 
       Cm
Now I stand at your grave 

Trembling for hours 
Gm
My numb hands clutch 

At frozen flowers
Violets were your favourite flowers 
you always smiled when I 
Gave them to you 
Now I stand at your grave 
And grief devours 
What's left of my soul 
And the frozen flowers 
These flowers won't do 
there's no more smile coming from you...
