David Knopfler - The Snowscape Paperweight Girl


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC

       FF        C majorC
You had your body pierced in Naples
      FF        C majorC
Found your patron saints in Rome
   FF             C majorC
Your Buddha, brought back from Bangkok
FF        C majorC
Hides your runic stones

     FF        C majorC
And your star of David, a-crucified
   FF           G+G
In a pendant you made from bones
   FF          C majorC
Your Hindi music's on the hifi
     E MajorE        A minorAm  G+G
And your Muslim is on the phone
    FF     G+G    FF  G+G FF G+G
In this place you now call home


      FF           C majorC
Still, you take your clothes off slowly
  FF        C majorC
To stoned messiah's tones
   FF      C majorC
Your mirror ball retro-flits
      FF         C majorC
Across your bolstered bed-sit wall


    FF           C majorC
And you pray for all life can bring you
         FF       G+G
It's like you're praying for us all
   FF        C majorC
Your tarot spoke of a stranger
   E MajorE          A minorAm  G+G
Your I-Ching of a girl unknown
    FF     G+G    FF  G+G        A minorAm   G+G
In this place you now call home  (you now call home)

    A minorAm              FF
And you bleed for the blade life will give ya
       A minorAm       FF
But still you want to swallow whole
  A minorAm       FF
The stoned messiahs prophesise
      C majorC        FF
It's like a hot-wire to your soul
                  C majorC
Like your bible that's holding your life up
   E MajorE       A minorAm  G+G
Or a window to your world
    FF           C majorC
As the camera pans out from a laptop
   E MajorE           A minorAm
We'll watch your world grow small
  FF           G+G          FF
As snowflakes swirl in a ticker-tape snowscape
       G+G             FF
Fade out on a paperweight - and a golden girl


Harmonica Break: C majorC     FF  C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC
          Oh oh, yeah


    FF        C majorC
Turning soul cards with Retsina
     FF        C majorC
Which you pour like sacred scrolls
     FF       C majorC
Kneeling naked at your altar
   FF         C majorC
Your patchwork quilt enfolds ya


      FF         C majorC
And it's a Hindi music on the hifi
   FF      G+G
And a Sufi on the phone
  FF           C majorC
The dance becoming your reality
       E MajorE        A minorAm  G+G
I think it's time that I was going
     FF     G+G    FF
From this place you now call home


OUTRO: G+G FF G+G FF G+G

      A minorAm              G+G
Don't hang up, don't hang up, don't hang up
             FF
Don't hang up, don't hang up, don't hang up
