[Verse]
      D                 G
Saint Valentine drove a red Continental
       D                   A7
With a headlight out and a dent in the side
   D                           G
He swore it wasn't his, it was only a rental
       D              A7     D
But he drove it every single night

      D                           G
Saint Valentine wore shades and a cowboy hat
   D                              A7
He looked straight outta Lonesome Dove
    D                          G
You never saw his eyes but you knew down deep inside
       D             A7        D         D
He was longin' for a long lost love

[Chorus]
    Em                   A7
The original lover had a broken heart
D                 G
To the ground his blood did flow
    D                   G
And for every drop that touched the earth
  D        A7       D      D
A red, red rose did grow

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
      D                         G
Saint Valentine ate pizza every Monday night
    D                            A7
And chased it with Johnny Walker Black
    D                          G
The waitresses would stare but he just didn't care
        D          A7    D
He just wanted his lover back

      D                               G
Saint Valentine wore a T-shirt of the Virgin Madonna
         D                     A7
With the sleeves cut out and a tear through the heart
   D                        G
He wore it like a shield to protect his pride and honor
       D               A7     D        D
He was tired of livin' so far apart

[Chorus]
    Em                   A7
The original lover had a broken heart
D                 G
To the ground his blood did flow
D                       G
And for every drop that touched the earth
D          A7       D        D
A red, red rose did grow

[Instrumental]
D     G     D     A7    D     G     D  A7     D
D     G     D     A7    D     G     D  A7     D

[Verse]
      D                          G
Saint Valentine would circle the shoppin' center mall
         D                 A7
With his radio wailin' the blues
     D                            G
He'd park outside the door of the video store
            D          A7     D
Like he was one of the chosen few

      D                 G
Saint Valentine drove a red Continental
       D                   A7
With a headlight out and a dent in the side
   D                            G
He swore it wasn't real, it was only mental
       D              A7      D        D
But he drove it every single night

[Chorus]
    Em                   A7
The original lover had a broken heart
D                 G
To the ground his blood did flow
D                       G
And for every drop that touched the earth
  D        A7       D       D
A red, red rose did grow

[Outro]
D     G     D     A7     D      G     D  A7     D
D     G     D     A7     D      G     D  A7     D
Repeat and fade
