Treasures Lyrics

A very minor-key sad blues ballad!! From the 2011 album You Cant Teach An Old Dog New Tricks.
Although it opens on Dm, it closes on the chord of Dm/C, so it just hangs there
unresolved, adding to the melancholy.
Notes
on the Dm / Dm C sections. Roll on and off the open top E string to F on the first fret.
Like so....
E ---1--p0-h1----1--p0-h1--|
Little chromatic run on the E string, A to Ab to G, then G to G# to the Am chord (all
marked down below)
OK here we go!
When I walk down your street
Through your barred windows you look at me
And you wonder have I come to ask
For one of your precious things that do not last
All your treasures
All your treasures
You think you know me but you don't know
That there's more to this picture than that shows
And you fear that I come to steal
Your sec-urity that ain't real
All your treasures
All your treasures
Break
I will leave now you won't cry
With relief now you'll just sigh
You'll re-member come one day
And you'll walk out your door
Cos you can't stay
While all your treasures
All your treasures slip away
All your treasures
All your treasures
I hope I've done it justice!
