Philomena chords by The Decemberists

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:]

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, oh so much 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
  Em     D
Go down, down down
  Em  D
Go down
  G
