lyrics

Burn Me Like Whisky Jan Hauenstein & Rex De Long

(C) (Em/B) (Am) (F) (G) (E) (Am)
(C)Burn me (Em/B)like (Am)whisky, (F)soothe me like (G)wine,
(E)You are your own, and (Am)you are mine.
(C)Love me (Em/B)like (Am)brandy, (F)cuss me like (G)gin,
(E)Still pure as rain, (E7)still sweet as (Am)sin.

(C/B)And (C)in your eyes I (F)see the strain
Of (Fj7)every loss, of (G)every gain,
Of (C)love gone fine, love (F)gone insane,
(Dm)Love often lost, (Dm7) but found (G)again.

(Em)Darkness, (Am)lightness, (Cj7)sadness, de(D)light,
(F)Such are our moments, like (Bb)day, like (Am)ni(Em9)ght.(Dm6) (G)

(C)Burning (Em/B)like (Am)cognac, (F)deep as the (G)wine,
(E)Clear as Sambucco, (Am)clouding the mind.
(C)Often (Em/B)is (Am)sight most (F)clear in the (G)night
As (E)darkness, (Am)lightness, (E7)sadness, de(Am)light.

(C/B)And (C)in your eyes the (F)Georgia skies
Re(Fj7)flect and shine in (G)sacrifice,
(C)Thunderheads growing to (F)cleanse our eyes,
The (Dm)darkness, the (Dm7)beauty of compro(G)mise.

(Em)Darkness, (Am)lightness, (Cj7)sadness, de(D)light,
(F)Such are our moments, like (Bb)day, like (Am)ni(Em9)ght.(Dm6) (G)

(C)Here (Em/B)are the (Am)ghosts that (F)surely will (G)last,
The (E)skeleton ghosts of the (Am)now and the past,
But (C)here (Em/B)is (Am)love, it (F)may en(G)dure,
(E)Here is love, (E7)so harsh, so (Am)pure.

You (C)burn me (Em/B)like (Am)whisky, (F)soothe me like (G)wine,
(E)You are your own, and (E7)you are (Am)mine.(Fj7) (G) (hold)
You are your own (Cj7) (Cadd9) (C) (Cj7)(C)

More than background music.
You'll hear folk, blues, jazzy songs, rock. Big voice. Albums recommended by Gordon Bok, Harvey Andrews, Jez Lowe and others.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
