Standard Bitter Love Song #8
Here's an easier-to-play version --Rosa

god will give him blood to drink.
saw the two of you leaving, I didn't want to follow behind.
but I could see the rest of your evening, burning in my mind.

I went mining for gold. I struck pure, fresh zinc.
god, god will give him blood to drink.
A G E A
hey, hey, hey.
