Blasphemous Rumors - Depeche Mode
Transcribed from the 101 Songbook. Enjoy.
[Verse 1 and 2]
F#m
Girl of sixteen whole life ahead of her,
Slashed her wrists, bored with life.
Didn't succeed, thank the Lord,
Bm C# F#m
for small mercies.
F#m
Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again,
Sixteen candles burn in her mind.
She takes the blame, it's always the same,
Bm F#m
she goes down on her knees and prays.
[Chorus]
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/depeche-mode/38029.html ]
D A/C#
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours, but I
Bm7 D
think that God's got a sick sense of humour, and
E9sus4 D
when I die, I expect to find Him laughing.
[End Chorus]
[Verses 3 and 4 same as 1 and 2. Words below.]
Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything,
Found new life in Jesus Christ.
Hit by a car, ended up
On a life support machine.
Summer's day, as she passed away,
Birds were singing in the summer sky.
Then came the rain, and once again,
a tear fell from her mother's eye.
[Chorus over and over again until fade]
