Auberge (video)

Am ~ ~ - D - Am

Am

1. On the hard fast train, on the road to gain,

Am

something gets right through your telling bone.

Am

There’s a sudden itch, an electric twitch,

Am

sometimes I swear this body’s got a mind of it’s own.

G

This is the naked truth, this is the light,

F E

there’s only one place left to go :

Am D Am D

Auberge, Auberge, Auberge, Auberge.

Am

2. You meet the silent type on a windy trail,

Am

with a shiny cloak and an unseen silver dagger.

Am

You can talk till you ache, give yourself one more break,

Am

you can tell by the look on his face that it just doesn’t matter.

G

This is the naked truth, this is the light,

F E

there’s only one place left to go :

Am D Am D - Am

Auberge, Auberge, Auberge, Auberge.

+ instrumental = verse 2 + G - F - E

Am

3. Give me a weekend, give me a day,

Am

don’t like what I’m seeing though I hear what you say.

Am

Think with a dagger and you’ll die on your knees,

Am

begging for mercy, singing ‘please mister please’.

G

This is the naked truth, this is the light,

F E

there’s only one place left to go :

Am D Am D

Auberge, Auberge, Auberge, Auberge.

Am D Am

+ Auberge, Auberge (3x) + Auberge.
