ÿþTHE DAUGHTER OF THE SCORPION KING Words and music (c) David Kelly 2008 ------------- I met her in the catacombs beneath the railway station When silly me I got off at the wrong destination I stopped and asked directions from a man in a blood red hood In retrospect I should have known that he was up to nothing good The scimitar he waved at me was ever so disturbing No less so than the skull he carried still wearing its gold turban ------------- The hordes were screaming jibberish as they tied my hands behind me Picture my immense relief when she crept up to unbind me They were quite obsequious when they came to recognize her They called her "Death's Receptionist" and of course they idolized her She shot the hypodermic needle out of the demented monkey's fist And neatly lopped the head off of the cobra striking at my wrist ------------- She freed me from clutches of the Carpathian Castrator I understand that he was miffed and punished her for it later She used some sort of voodoo on the Greco-Roman wrestler And then some sort of judo on the wizardly molester She took the poison dart that the wicked dwarf had meant for me Luckily she knew the cure of charcoal and cold green tea ------------- SOLO ------------- I considered wedding her, I've really grown quite fond But I'm sure you can understand, I much prefer blue-eyed blondes ------------- I can't be the boyfriend of THE DAUGHTER OF THE SCORPION KING ------------- TAB for the Chord Changes: Main vocal line: G F7 Gm Cm D Cm Gm D 3 5 6 8 10 8 6 5 3 4 8 8 10 8 8 7 3 5 7 8 11 8 7 7 x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x Juan Tizol wah guitar part between stanzas: Gm - D - Gm - D - Gm - D - Gm 3 5 3 7 3 7 x x x x x x Turnaround: Cm - Gm - Cm - D - Gm - D - D - Gm - D) 3 3 3 5 6 5 5 6 7 4 3 4 7 8 7 7 8 7 5 3 5 7 7 7 7 7 7 x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
