Love Me Or Die Chords

(ver. 1)
Shawn James
[Verse 1]
Dm
I studied evil, I can't deny
              A
Was a hoodoo charm called a Love me or Die
Am
Some fingernail, a piece of her dress
            Dm
Apocathery, Devil's behes'
Dm                                     A
I will relate, the piteous consequence of my mistake
Falling slave to passing desire
Am                 Dm
Making the dreaded Love me or Die

[Verse 2]
Dm
Under a Jungle primeval green
                       A
She had the looks of a beauty queen
                                    Am
No bangles or chain, wearing broken shoe
                         Dm
Seventy-five cent bottle perfume
Dm
I said, "good morning", I tipped my hat
                                   A
All the while I was cunning like a rat
Smiling gaily, looked her in the eye
Am                    Dm
I felt in pocket, the Love me or Die

[Verse 3]
Dm
My past history, one to behold
                            A
I studied magic from days of old
Membership, secret societies
Am                         Dm
Power and wealth in my family
Dm
But Matilda, Darling
                              A
Why you don't take my wedding ring
Like a demon under the floor
Am                                Dm
I buried the hoodoo down the back door

[Verse 4]
Dm
Lawd, word broke through the town
             Am
That a fever strike Matilda down
                          Am
Nine thirty, the doctor arrive
                                Dm
Priest come running, quarter to five
Dm
Standing in the weeds early next day
                     A
I saw the meat wagon rolling away
                             Am
I seen Matilda laying in the back
                                 Dm
Her old mother wearing a suit of black

[Verse 5]
Dm
Sound the trumpet, and bang the drum
           A
I wait for me judgement to come
                          Am
I know her spirit is down beneath
           Dm
I hear the weeping and gnashing of the teeth
Dm
Flames of Hell licks at my feet
                      A
In the shadow of the Jungle I feel the heat
                     Am
Matilda's waiting in Hell for me too
              Dm
All cause she died from a bad hoodoo
