HOUSE OF BRUNETTES
A (Whoish buildup) -rest-
D G
Dreamed I was lost in the house of brunettes (G to A riff)
D G
Hadn’t found one that I didn’t like yet
(G to A riff)
Bm G
But they just-kept giving me the brush
Bm E
Saw in my eyes all that untrained lust
G
Some boy near fifty
A
Searching still for those, (rest)
Bm E
Hard sixties girls
G A
Is it any wonder why I’m
F#m G
Lost in your curls?
~
D G
You bring dark memories back to me
(G to A riff)
D G
Of Julie Newmar …and Emma Peel
(G to A riff)
F#m G
On friday nights I would watch tv
F#m E
With my momma right next to me
G A (rest)
Hot as any Per-ry Ma-son
Bm E
Murdering skirt
G A
Is it any wonder why I’m
F#m G
Stuck on you girl?
G F#m E
Is it any wonder why I’m struck? By you girl?
E
They put an icepick in my head
A
Licked their ruby lips while I bled
D
Teeth so white I could cry
G
This dread attraction
A
Not even my corpse could deny…
A (Whoish buildup) -rest-
One instr - of the (DG; G-A)
D G
I’m falling down in the house of Brunettes (G to A riff)
D
I’m feeling pale but
G
They aint done with me yet
(G to A riff)
G Bm
God I hope, your not
E
Done with me yet…
Hold E on out
Oooooh (mysterioso)
…..The House of Brunettes….repeat and fade
