Em
We've been up and down these hills
Em
And found ourselves in different pills
G
And I met Satan in a cheap motel
G
She talked at length about Orson Welles

[Bridge]
Am
You were washed up on the shore
Am
Lamb's blood ran down your door

[Chorus]
C            Am
Soft, gentle stranger
C        Dm                       Am
Remember me when you're tired and old
C            Am
Soft, gentle stranger
C       Dm                       Am
Luella, babe, won't you marry me now?

[Bridge]
C
You were washed up on the shore
Lamb's blood ran down your door

[Verse 1]
Em
Not every filth is art
Em
Not every strangers fall
Em
No person is Madonna
Em
No stranger is God
G
Not every church is strong
G
Not every city's wrong
G
No struggle is in vain
G
No system is safe
Em
And no law in this world
Em
Is sacred or sane
Em
Not every man would rather be dead than in chains
G
Not every war's unjust
G
Not every faith is love
G
No orgasm is ever enough

[Chorus]
C            Am
Soft, gentle stranger
C       Dm                       Am
Luella, babe, won't you marry me now?
C            Am
Soft, gentle stranger
C       Dm                       Am
Luella, babe, won't you marry me now?

[Verse 2]
Em
Not every filth is art
Em
Not every strangers fall
Em
Not every generation is doomed to despair
G
Not every hate is wrong
G
Not every lust is sin
G
Not every revolution begins from within

[Bridge]
C
You were washed up on the shore
C
Lamb's blood ran down your door

[Chorus]
C            Am
Soft, gentle stranger
C       Dm                       Am
Luella, babe, won't you marry me now?

[Verse 3]
Em
Not every filth is art
Em
Not every strangers fall
Em
Not every generation is doomed to despair
G
Not every filth is art
G
Not every strangers fall
G
No orgasm is ever enough

[Chorus]
C            Am
Soft, gentle stranger
C       Dm                       Am
Luella, babe, won't you marry me now?
C            Am
Soft, gentle stranger
C       Dm                       Am
Luella, babe, won't you marry me now?
