[Verse 1]
Bm D
We walked round
G Bm
Like zombies in the burying grounds
G Bm
Like vultures in the sky watch a dying man
G
In the right city
Bm
Right on the wrong side of town
G A
Like ghosts we don't make a sound

[Verse 2]
Bm D G Bm
I kept quite I didn't care to feel your light
G Bm
And with the black Madonna as my guide
G Bm
With the wild demon Jesus running by my side
G A
I didn't care to feel your light

[Chorus]
Em
Oh Carmelita hold me tighter
D G
Does Mary pray for us?
Bm G
When we're all strung out on heroin
F#7 Bm
Sitting down the back of the bus

[Verse 3]
D
Feel no pain
G Bm
Everything is right as rain
G Bm
This city seems to know my name
G Bm
She opens up her legs and opening her vein
G A
Shines a light for me again

[Verse 4]
Bm D G Bm
Feel no more I do not care to fight that war
G Bm
In a sordid leather jacket kneeling on the floor
G Bm
For forty minutes dying and forty years more
G A
I do not care to fight that war

[Chorus]
Em
Oh Carmelita hold me tighter
