Lirik Lagu Scarlet Begonias – Sublime

 

[Intro]

B

 

[Verse 1] E B

As I was walking down rubadub square E B

Not a chill to the weather but a nip to the air

A E A E From another direction she was caught in my eye

A E A E It could be an illusion, but I might as well try B

Might as well try

 

[Verse 2] E B

She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes E B

And I knew without asking she was into the blues

A E A E She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls

A E A E I knew right away, she was not like other girls B

(Like other girls)

 

[Bridge] F#

Well, I ain’t never been right, as I ain’t never been wrong B E

It seldom works out the way it does in this song (hey) F#

‘Cause once in a while you get shown in the light B E

In the strangest of places if you look at it right

 

F# A B

 

[Rap Verse] A

It was the summer of love, and I thank the stars above B

Because the woman took the lovin’ over me A

And just to gain her trust, I bought a microbus B

Because I sold up all my personal property A E

A tight tie-dyed dress, she was a psychedelic mess A E

We toured to the north, south, east and west A E

We sold some mushroom tea, we sold some ecstasy A E

We sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin and PCP B

And now I hear the police coming after me B

Yes, now I hear the police coming after me

B

The one Scarlet, with the flowers in her hair B

She’s got the police coming after me

 

[Verse 3] E B

Well, there ain’t nothing wrong with the way she moves E B

All scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues

A E A E And there ain’t nothin’ wrong with the love that’s in her eye

A E A E I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by B

Let her pass by

B B

Oh, just to let her pass by

 

[Outro]
