Alas Agnes Tab

by Mystery Jets


                                       
Agnes it all ended up in tears 

    

         
Well we were an odd couple you and I 
                            
In our strange and original attire 
   
I thought, I thought it was love at first sight 
                                                                                            
My mother, my mother, she shivered with spite

          
Well I couldn't tell if you were boy or girl 
        
My mind was in such a swirl 

It was a case of grist to the mill
                                                                   
True love grows, it grows oh where it will     (E--0--2--4--7---)

Alas, Oh Agnes 
                       
I still adore you, oh Agnes 
                                                  
Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes 

                                       
Agnes it all ended up in tears 

                                      
But you still have your souvenirs 
                                                
You've got scars from head to toe 
                                                                 
It's getting hard to tell your friends from foe 

   

N.C (But they are the same as the first verse)
Well, you picked me up at the station 
After my backstreet operation 
You broke me, you broke the painful news 
You dumped me, you dumped me for a pretty young muse   D
    
            
So the lessons they are there to learn 
     
My scars are caused by cigarette burns 

I have no mirrors and I spend my days
                         
Reminiscing  on your porcelain gaze    (E--0--2--4--7---)

  (high) 

             
Alas, Oh Agnes 
                       
I still adore you, oh Agnes 
                                                  
Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes, Oh Agnes 
 
Oh Agnes I adore you 
Oh Agnes I adore you 
Oh Agnes I adore you 
Oh Agnes I still adore you
