INTRO

(drum beat)

VERSE
     E MajorE
Here she comes in her palanquin
On the back of an elephant
   FF                 E MajorE
On a bed made of linen and sequins and silk
All astride on her father's line
With the king and his concubines
    FF                   E MajorE
And her nurse with her pitchers of liquors and milk
     G+G    D MajorD     E MajorE
And we'll all come praise the infanta
     G+G    D MajorD     E MajorE
And we'll all come praise the infanta

VERSE
   E MajorE
Among five score pachyderm
Each canopied and passengered
    FF                  E MajorE
Sit the duke and the duchess' luscious young girls
Within sight of the baronness
Seething spite for this live largesse
    FF
By her side sits the baron
        E MajorE
Her barrenness barbs her
     G+G    D MajorD     E MajorE
And we'll all come praise the infanta
     G+G    D MajorD     E MajorE
And we'll all come praise the infanta

VERSE
   FF
A augmentedA phalanx on camelback
Thirty ranks on a forward tack
     F#F#                  FF
Followed close, their shiny bright standards a-waving
While behind in their coach, in fours
Ride the wives of the king of Moors
    F#F#                 FF
And the veiled young virgin, the prince's betrothed
  AbAb       Eb MajorEb      FF
And we'll all come praise the infanta
  AbAb       Eb MajorEb      FF
And we'll all come praise the infanta

BRIDGE
E MajorE             FF
 And as she sits upon her place
E MajorE             FF
 Her innocence laid on her face
Bb majorBb                 FF
 From all atop the parapets blow a multitude of coronets
Bb majorBb            FF
 Melodies rhapsodical and fair
Bb majorBb
 And all our hearts afire
  FF
The sky ablaze with cannon fire
  E MajorE              FF
We all raise our voices to the air
    E MajorE
To the air...

VERSE
   E MajorE
And above all this falderal
On a bed made of chaparral
    FF               E MajorE
She is laid, a coronal placed on her brow
And the babe, all in slumber dreams
Of a place filled with quiet streams
    FF                     E MajorE
And the lake where her cradle was pulled from the water
     G+G    D MajorD     E MajorE
And we'll all come praise the infanta
     G+G    D MajorD     E MajorE
And we'll all come praise the infanta
     G+G    D MajorD     E MajorE
And we'll all come praise the infanta
