Wendy Under The Stars

Greetings fellow Odds fans! Here's my transcription to 'Wendy Under the Stars':

"Wendy Under the Stars" - By the Odds. Written by Steven Drake. Taken from

the album 'Neopolitan'. All songs published by Virgin Music.

***all chords standard 'folk' positions. No barre chords. Use an electric

(one or two), clean, although it gets crunchy later in the song.

Intro: G G/C [the G/C is made by keeping the G root but adding E(2nd fret

D-string) and C(1st fret B-string)]

Verses: Em F Em F D C D C / Em F Am G D C Em F

***And that's it! Just go in this order: intro, verse 1, chorus, verse 2,

chorus, verse 3, chorus (outro).

The lyrics are:

I was sitting there watching TV

Wendy came and sat on my knee

She put her finger in my ear

But I pulled it out so I could hear

What the newsman on the television said

He said the king of rock & roll was dead

And in the spooky television light

She said, "Don't ever forget this night"

Chorus: I was fucking Wendy under the stars, the night that Elvis died

As walked across the dew wet field

I never ever thought she would yield

To my young body's aching desire

For an older woman's well banked fire

By the left hand I was led

To the place that we would make our bed

And embracing in the blue moonlight

She said, "Don't ever forget this night"

She was 31, I was 17

I found out then what passion could mean

I thought I loved her but I didn't know how

I don't love her when I see her know

With the tape deck turned up loud

She made a young man strong and proud

And in the coolness of the morning light

She said, "Don't ever forget this night"
