At the constant admission of a close friend - the very same one whom suggested this blog in the first place - I've 'tabbed' out this long-forgotten curio from my beloved Sisters of Mercy. Andrew Eldritch may have been and still remains a miserable so-and-so, but he can write a beautiful tune when we wants to; 'Torch' is testament to this assertion.
This is taking a slightly different flavour to usual: I will give you the chord shapes first, followed by the lyrics with the chords filled in in the appropriate places.
