G    D Dsus2  D    Am   Cmaj7-C-Cmaj7-Open 
Her skin is like velvet...... 
G    D Dsus2  D    Am   Cmaj7-C-Cmaj7-Open 
Her face cut from stone 
G    D Dsus2  D    Am   Cmaj7-C-Cmaj7-Open 
Her eyes when she's smiling 
G    D Dsus2  D    Am   Cmaj7-C-Cmaj7-Open 
Will never reach home, but hear how she sings 
 
G    D Dsus2  D    Am   Cmaj7-C-Cmaj7-Open 
Her touch would be tender...... 
G    D Dsus2  D    Am   Cmaj7-C-Cmaj7-Open 
Her lips would be warm 
G    D Dsus2  D    Am   Cmaj7-C-Cmaj7-Open 
But when we're together 
G   D Dsus2  D  Am   Cmaj7-C-Cmaj7-Open 
I'm always alone 
                       G      Am 
But hear how she sings 
 
G    D Dsus2  D    Am   Cmaj7-C-Cmaj7-Open 
Her skin is like velvet...... 
So I went to her home 
Her place like a palace 
With things you can't own 
Her skin is like velvet 
And hear how she sings 
Hear how she sings... 
Yeah, she sings 
And hear how she sings 
Hear how she sings.
