[Verse]
Em
He rode through the streets of the city
Am
Down from his hill on high
Em
O’er the winds and the steps and the cobble
Am D
He rode to a woman’s sigh
Em
For she was his secret treasure
Am
She was his shame and his bliss
Em
And a chain and a keep are nothing
Am D
Compared to a woman’s kiss

(Chorus)
Em Am
For hands of gold are always cold
C D
But a woman’s hands are warm
Em Am
For hands of gold are always cold
D Em
But a woman’s hands are warm
