Camelia (video)

A E

1. From where I stand I can see all the lights in the city,

E A

for one man to love one woman so much, it's a pity.

A E

From where I stand I can see the canteena she goes to,

B7 E - E7

where she's not supposed to but goes anyway.

A E

From where I stand I can hear the music and laughter,

E A

Camelia keeps tellin' me that's all her young heart is after.

A7 D

I see it differently, I see her there with a man,

E A

Camelia keeps lyin', I see, from where I stand.

(orig. moves up half a note to capo 3rd here)

A E

2. If there was one ounce of man left in me I'd accuse her,

E A

what's left of a man knows for certain if I do I'll lose her.

A E

It wouldn't do to let her know I know she's lyin',

B7 E - E7

or that I've been spyin', she'd never come back.

A E

Camelia, I almost despise the ground that you walk on,

E A

the reason I don't is, it's me not the ground, that you walk on.

A7 D

Constantly tormented knowing you're just partly mine,

E E7 A - D - A

Camelia, I hate you and love you at the same ti..........me.
