Intro:   E   Esus4 E Esus4 

verse 1: 
   E 
I ceremonially undress 
     A                                                 E   Esus4 E Esus4 
For she who in my dreams reveals how she longs and she cares 
                     C#m 
I take off all my clothes 
          A            E   Esus4 E Esus4 
for the woman downstairs 


verse 2: 
     E 
The faded cotton shirt 
               A                                                     E   Esus4 E Esus4  
The woollen jacket from a time when the Lord still answered my prayers 
                     C#m 
I let fall my black armour 
           A             E   Esus4 E Esus4 
for the woman downstairs 

verse 3: 
  E  
I get into the bath 
         A                                         E   Esus4 E Esus4 
Let the water trickle through my mind´s lonely affairs 
                   C#m 
I give my longing body 
        A            E   Esus4 E Esus4 
to the woman downstairs 

Chorus: 
     E                      A 
I give her my ears and my eyes 
                               E   Esus4 E Esus4 
I give her my future and my past 
                                    C#m 
They´re both full of questions and lies 
                A                    E   Esus4 E Esus4 
But I`ve got a feeling she´ll never ask 
            C#m 
Where I´m going 
                  A 
Well, I´m going down 
                       E   Esus4 E Esus4 
To the woman downstairs 


verse 4: 
               E

               A                             E   Esus4 E Esus4 
Wild berries stain the fragile dress she wears 
                          C#m 
She can have my soul and keep it 
     A              E   Esus4 E Esus4 
The woman downstairs 


Chorus: 
     E                      A 
I give her my ears and my eyes 
                               E   Esus4 E Esus4 
I give her my future and my past 
                                    C#m 
They´re both full of questions and lies 
                A                    E   Esus4 E Esus4 
But I`ve got a feeling she´ll never ask 
            C#m 
Where I´m going 
                  A 
Well, I´m going down 
                       E   Esus4 E Esus4 
To the woman downstairs 
                 C#m     
Yeah, I´m going down 
        A              E  Esus4  Esus4 
To the woman downstairs
