Tom: C

C              Am             F          Em
I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love,
    C         Dm      G
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night
     C        Am        F          Em
And her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow
 C          Dm         F  G      C
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight


C                  Am          F              Em
She is soft she is warm but my heart remains heavy,
     C             Dm             G
As I watch as her breasts gently rise, gently fall.
      C             Am             F             Em
For I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving,
  C                  Dm        F    G     C
And tonight will be all I have left to recall.


C               Am    F              Em
Oh what have I done, why have I done it,
  C               Dm     G  
I've committed a crime, broken the law.
     C          Am           F         Em
For twenty five dollars and pieces of silver,
  C           Dm       F     G      C
I held up and robbed a hard liquor store.


C              Am        F        Em
My life seems unreal, my crime an illusion,
 C            Dm         G
A scene badly written in which I must play.
      C          Am        F                Em  
And I know as I gaze at my young love beside me,
 C             Dm     F     G    C
The morning is just a few hours away.
