Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
One  and one-half wandering Jews
 Free to wander wherever they choose
 Are travelling together
 In the Sangre de Cristo
 The Blood of Christ Mountains
 Of New Mexico
On the last  leg of the journey
 They started a long time  ago
 The arc of a love affair
Rainbows  in the high desert air
Mountain  passes slipping into stones
 Hearts and bones
 Hearts and bones
 Hearts and bones
Thinking  back to the season before
 Looking back through the cracks in the door
 Two people were married
 The act was outrageous
 The bride was contagious
 She burned  like a bride
These  events  may  have had some effect
 On the man with the girl  by his side
 The arc of a love affair
His  hands rolling down her hair
Love  like lightning shaking till it moans
 Hearts and bones
 Hearts and bones
 Hearts and bones
 N/c
 And whoa whoa whoa
 She said:
 Why?
 Why don't we drive through the night
 We'll wake up down in Mexico
  N/c
 Oh I
 I don't know nothin' about nothin' about
 No Mexico
  N/c
 And tell me why
 Why won't you love me
 For who I am
 Where I am
 He said:
'Cause  that's not the way the world is baby
This  is how I love you, baby
This  is how I love you, baby
 One and one-half wandering Jews
 Return to their natural coasts
 To resume old acquaintances
 Step out occasionally
 And speculate who had been damaged the most
Easy  time  will determine if these consolations
 Will be their reward
 The arc of a love affair
 Waiting to be restored
You  take two bodies and you twirl them into one
 Their hearts and their bones
 And they won't come undone
Hearts  and bones
 Hearts and bones
 Hearts and bones
 Hearts and bones
