SONG: Skeleton Key
ALBUM: The Dust in Retreat
Tabbed by: Grundle the Taint
B E F#m
I did a sick, sick thing to my love.
B E F#m
My lack of loyalty, it swallowed her up.
A
And she cooks me food.
B E F#m
She squirmed and turned like a skeleton key.
B E F#m
She left her man unattended to me.
A
Don't call me that.
B
Don't claim you love me
E F#m
cause you know that ain't true.
B E F#m
My dire affliction a tribute to you
A
And you're finally free
B E F#m
to twist and turn like a skeleton key.
A
You've gotta let me know.
A
You've gotta let me know.
B E F#m
I did a horrible thing to that girl.
B E F#m
I bread my misery and drowned it in her.

A
And she got me high,
B E F#m
And I hardly noticed there were tears in her eyes.
B E F#m
And I miss you less and less everyday.
B E F#m
This stream of whisky helps to wash you away.
A
And it's clear to see,
B
You're nothing special.
E F#m
You're a skeleton key.
A (played with "Riff A")(see below)
You've gotta let me know.
A (player with "Riff A")
You've gotta let me know.
A (player with "Riff A")
You've gotta let me know.
A (player with "Riff A")
You've gotta let me know.
Whooo!
