Tracy Grammer - Phantom Doll



Am      Dm       Am     Dm
Raggedy Ann came out to play
Am         G       C      E7         Am
Kittened a thin disguise against the day
          Dm    Am        Dm
Painted a face across the mask
F             Dm      E7
Victim of the looking glass
                  Am
Store windows are cruel

Am        Dm        Am        Dm
Mannequin charms outshine her own
Am       G        C     E7       Am
Running away from her reflection home
            Dm     Am       Dm
Hanging her head behind the door
F               Dm      E7
Sleeping on the kitchen floor


            Am
In glorious dreams
    E7       C        D
She walks outside her skin
    Dm      Am/C      B7       E
Her face so fine, her waist so thin
    Am    E    Am     G/B C  F C
Her voice like chimes and mandolins
E7                Am    E7
Beautiful phantom doll


Am       Dm       Am     Dm
Saturday night on Circus Street
Am        G        C      E7       Am
Beating a long and ill-conceived retreat
         Dm      Am      Dm
Carnival barkers bar her way
    F             Dm        E7
She never hears a word they say


            Am
In glorious dreams
    E7           C      D
She strolls, the boys beseech
    Dm    Am/C     B7     E
The Venus queen of Venice Beach
   Am    E  Am G/B C   F  C
So near, so e--ver out of reach
E7                Am    E7
Beautiful phantom doll

BRIDGE:
Dm Am         E           Am
Midnight, the struggle is over
Dm      Am          F#7      B7
Rise up, lily-white delicate shoulders
Em C         B7        Em
Outside, the poets all know her
Am         Em           B7  E7
All of her children are waiting


Am          Dm          Am       Dm
Beggars and wrecks line junkyard lanes
Am      G        C           E7          Am
Tiffany slippers click-clack through the rain
        Dm        Am        Dm
Rickety bones and sheer chiffon
F              Dm      E7
Dancing on the mayor's lawn


            Am
In glorious dreams
     E7            C      D
They glide through gilded rooms
    Dm         Am/C    B7      E
The drakes and gravely pale dragoons
    Am  E  Am   G/B  C  F   C
The wasted daughters of the moon
E7                Am    E7
Beautiful phantom doll

Raggedy Andy wrote this song
Am           G          C      E7       Am
Scribbled it here where oceans meet the dawn
          Dm     Am        Dm
Scuttled away on hands and claws
F          Dm      E7
Cinderella sailors draw


            Am
In glorious dreams
   E7        C         D
Sunrise, she spins her spells
   Dm     Am/C     B7      E
On rising tides of wishing wells
   Am E   Am G/B C F   C
On A--phrodi-te  lotus shells
E7                Am
Beautiful phantom doll
E7
Beautiful phantom
E7
Beautiful phantom
Dm        E7      Bb    Am
