Philomena chords by The Decemberists
Guitar chords with lyrics
G Em Am D x5 Em D [Verse 1:] G Em Am D Oh, Philomena, are you in a tawdry gown G Em Am D Lean to your window, let slip a ribbon down G Em Am D A cure to your boredom, if only you'll let me go Em D Down, down down G Em Am D Long sunny days can lead to lazy vices G Em Am D Boys all at idle, left to their own devices G Em Am D Open up your linen lap and let me go Em D Down, down down
[Chorus:]
B Em Am D
All I ever wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl
B Em C D
But I found I've quickly bored, I wanted more, I wanted more
[Verse 2:]
G Em Am D
So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette
G Em Am D G
I'll be your lash and loop of leather and dark
Em Am D
Philomena, if only you'll let me go
Em D
Down, down down
G Em Am D x3
Em D
[Chorus:]

[Verse 2:]
G Em Am D
So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette
G Em Am D G
I'll be your lash and loop of leather and dark
Em Am D
Philomena, if only you'll let me go
Em D
Down, down down
Em D
Go down, down down
Em D
Go down
