 Transcriber's Note:
 [The intro bit is fairly approximate - on the guitar try Cm: 335543,
 "Cm9": 335533, Cm7: 335343.  The "Cm9" (more like Cm add9) at the end is
 better played 8-10-10-8-8-10.]

Ondine, you won

 -                          -
All she left behind was an unloaded gun

         Eb        -     C                 -
And my face is blushing   for all the things she's done

Eb                -            F                    -   :|
   You couldn't miss that girl   'Cause here she comes

|: Cm        -
Ondine, back up

 -                          -
Run over my body with your pickup truck

       Eb        -
And finish what you started

C                 -
Because I'm done

Eb                -
I searched the whole world over

F                    -   :|
To find these words


Chorus:

She said

Cm    G         Bb       Cm
   I had the strangest dream

Eb      F       Cm         G7
   I dreamed I killed you again

Cm        G       Bb        Cm
   Don't make me kill you again

       Eb          F       G7       -
'Cause I couldn't bear to kill you

 G7   -
Again

Ondine was here

 -                          -
You couldn't even take away a souvenir

         Eb        -
Of what's left of that singer

C                 -
she used to call me that

         Eb        -
I searched the whole world over

F                 -   :|
To find these words


Chorus:

She said

Cm    G         Bb       Cm
   I had the strangest dream

Eb      F       Cm         G7
   I dreamed I killed you again

Cm        G       Bb        Cm
   Don't make me kill you again

       Eb          F       G7       -
'Cause I couldn't bear to kill you

 G7   -
Again


Cm    G         Bb       Cm
   I had the strangest dream

Eb      F       Cm         G7
   I dreamed I killed you again

Cm        G       Bb        Cm
   Don't make me kill you again

       Eb          F       G7       -
'Cause I couldn't bear to kill you

 G7   -
Again
