    A               (G)

    I saw her, yeah I saw her

                C                       A
    With a black tongue tied round the roses

    A                                      (G)
    A fist pounding on a vending machine

     C                         A
    Toy diamond ring stuck on her finger

    A
    With a noose she could hang from the sun

           G                            C
    And point it out with the dark sunglasses

    A         
    Walking crooked down the beach

             G                                      C
    She spits in the sand where their bones are bleaching

     

    Chorus:

    E             G                                      D (2)
       And I know I'm gonna steal her eye--she doesn't even know it's wrong

    E                 G                                    D (2)
       And you know I'm gonna make it die--take her where her soul belongs

    E      G                                       F#m     F
       I know I'm gonna steal her eye--        nothing that I wouldn't try

    E   D                     A
    Hey my sun-eyed girl

    E   D                     A
    Hey my sun-eyed girl
    E   D                     A
           My sun-eyed girl

    E   D                     A
    Hey my sun-eyed girl

     

    A               (G)
      I saw her, yeah I saw her

                   C                            A
    With her hands tied back, her rags are burnin'

    A                                    (G)
       Calling out from a land-filled life

         C                             A
    Scrawling her name upon the ceiling

    A
       Throw a coin in the fountain of dust

    G                       C
    White noise, her ears are ringing

    A
       Got a ticket for my midnight hanging

    G                                    C
       Throw a bullet from a freight train leaving

    Chorus

    Slide Guitar Break


    E   D                     A
    Hey my sun-eyed girl

    E   D                     A
    Hey my sun-eyed girl
    E   D                     A
           My sun-eyed girl

    E   D                     A
    Hey my sun-eyed girl

     

    E   D                     A
    Hey my sun-eyed girl

    E   D                     A
    Hey my sun-eyed girl
    E   D                     A
           My sun-eyed girl

    E   D                     A
    Hey my sun-eyed girl
