Note: The guitar is turned one whole step down. In live performances, Laura uses standard tuning
and alternates between C and Cadd2(add4) (x33030) in the intro and the first lines of the verses.

Intro:
C

Verse 1:
  C       C
She sings along to sailor's song
G   C/G      G7 C/G
 In a dress that she made
G      C/G  A7
 When she's gone I  sing along
  F/C           C
But  it doesn't sound the same

Chorus 1:
E/G# E/B Am   G/B G/D C
Oh  Nouel, you sing so well
F        F#dim
 Sing only for me
Am      E/G#
 Fickle and changeable
Dm          G C/G G7 C/G G  G C/G A7  F/C C F/C C
 Though I may always be

Verse 2:
 C            C
I pulled a thorn from her tiny paw
G        C/G G7  C/G
 Her feet were un - clean
G    C/G  A7
 Fetch water,  blessed twice
  F/C         C
And  hand a sponge to me

Chorus 2:
E/G# E/B Am   G/B  G/D C
I  do well to serve Nouel
F            F#dim
 Whatever service I may be
Am      E/G#
 Fickle and changeable
Dm         G C/G G7 C/G G  G C/G A7  F/C C F/C C
 Weighing down on me

Verse 3:
  C          C
She speaks a word and it gently turns
G      C/G G7  C/G
 To perfect metaphor
G       C/G  A7
 She likes to say I  only play
   F/C              C
When  I know what I'm playing for

Chorus 3:
E/G# E/B Am   G/B G/D C
Oh  Nouel, you know me well
F                F#dim
 And I didn't even show you the scar
Am      E/G#
 Fickle and changeable
Dm      G C/G G7 C/G G  G C/G A7  F/C C F/C C
 Semper femina

Verse 4:
   C       C
She'd like to be the kind of free
G    C/G       G7  C/G
 Women still can't be alone
G    C/G  A7
 How I wish I  could hit the switch
   F/C            C
That  keeps you from getting gone

Chorus 4:
E/G# E/B Am  G/B  G/D C
Oh  Nouel, it hurts like hell
F             F#dim
 When you're so afraid to die
Am    E/G#
 Semper femina
Dm   G C/G G7 C/G G  G C/G A7  F/C C F/C C
 So am I

Verse 5:
  C       C
She lays herself across the bed
G   C/G    G7  C/G
 The Origine du Monde
G      C/G   A7
 Slight of shoulder, long and legged
F/C         C
  Her hair a faded blonde

Chorus 5/Bridge:
E/G# E/B Am   G/B G/D C
Oh  Nouel, you sit so well
F           F#dim
 A thousand artists' muse
Am        E/G#     Dm  G C/G G7 C/G G
  But you'll be anything you choose
Am      E/G#      Dm  G C/G G7
 Fickle and changeable are you
C/G G G C/G G7 C/G G G C/G G7  C/G G G C/G A7  F/C C C C
And long    may that    continue

Chorus 6/Outro:
E/G# E/B Am   G/B  G/D C
I  do well to serve Nouel
F         F#dim  Am  E/G#
 My only guiding star_________
Dm     G C/G G7 C/G G  G C/G A7  F/C C C C  F/C C F/C C
