Chords with lyrics

A minorAm        C majorC
 Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary
DmDm      A minorAm
 A augmentedA tune that all can carry
A minorAm       C majorC
 Burly says if we don't sing
DmDm         A minorAm
Then we won't have anything

A minorAm        C majorC
 All the boys on ship set sail
DmDm        A minorAm
 & the mate was Madeleine-Mary
A minorAm         C majorC
 When her eyes did fill with tears
DmDm      A minorAm
 It was extraordinary
A minorAm      C majorC
 It was extraordinary
DmDm        A minorAm
 For we none of us could see it
A minorAm        C majorC
 For she kept herself kept below
DmDm     A minorAm
 & all her feelings private

A minorAm        C majorC
 Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary
DmDm      A minorAm
 A augmentedA tune that all can carry
A minorAm       C majorC
 Burly says if we don't sing
DmDm         A minorAm
Then we won't have anything

A minorAm         C majorC
 None of us could get a glimpse
DmDm      A minorAm
 But all of us did want it
A minorAm         C majorC
 At night, above our sleeping heads
DmDm       A minorAm
 Our sleeping dreams were haunted

A minorAm     C majorC
 So now my kids you'd like to hear
DmDm      A minorAm
 Of one who reached & got her
A minorAm       C majorC
 Well if there was well I think
DmDm       A minorAm
 He sleeps beneath the water

A minorAm        C majorC
 Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary
DmDm      A minorAm
 A augmentedA tune that all can carry
A minorAm       C majorC
 Burly says if we don't sing
DmDm         A minorAm
Then we won't have anything


Very cool "sailor song" from Will Oldham's 1999 album I See A augmentedA Darkness.
Enjoy the chord interpretation! ~ettawhy
