Richard Shindell - On A augmentedA Sea Of Fleur-De-Lis


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: C majorC  FF  C majorC  G+G  FF C majorC  G+G

  C majorC        FF
I adore thee mother Mary
       C majorC          G+G
But would you change me back to a witch

And let me live in the arms of a sorry old elm
     FF       C majorC       G+G
Give the gypsy moths a realm of their own
   C majorC                FF
For a postman's fee, would I work for thee
       C majorC              G+G
And from that tree would I swoop down and leave

A augmentedA billion blue eggs of eternity
     FF     C majorC       G+G
And in no time you'd have your own sea

     A minorAm  FF
But don't just stare
      C majorC
I mean it, really
G+G  A minorAm FF
Hear my prayer
     C majorC
I give it freely
G+G  A minorAm FF   C majorC    G+G
Are you there Fleur-de-Lis?


  C majorC        FF
I adore thee mother Mary
       C majorC          G+G
But would you change me back to a witch

And let me live in the arms of willow
     FF     C majorC        G+G
And fly around not wearing a stitch
    C majorC             FF
For so long has this room been so hollow
  C majorC              G+G
We wait at the gate for an echo

In the flesh of your newly cleaned frescoes
   FF      C majorC      G+G
Where Jesus holds John to his breast

    A minorAm FF
Wrapped around
      C majorC
And rocking slowly
G+G A minorAm FF
No one bound
     C majorC
To be so holy
G+G A minorAm  FF    C majorC      G+G
In your gown of fleur-de-lis


    C majorC        FF
And I adore thee mother Mary
       C majorC            G+G
But would you change me back to a witch

As a witch would I love you more than any man
     FF      C majorC        G+G
So give a wink, give a nod, but give a damn
   C majorC        FF
Be a sport, Mary, and don't tell dad
    C majorC               G+G
He need never know how he's been had

And never you mind about those seven seals
    FF      C majorC    G+G
'Cause daddy was a one shot deal


     A minorAm  FF
But one, two, three
         C majorC
It could be that easy
G+G   A minorAm  FF
There we'd be
     C majorC
I with my baby
G+G A minorAm FF   C majorC      G+G
On a sea of fleur-de-lis


  A minorAm FF
Do-re-mi
         C majorC
It could be that easy
G+G   A minorAm  FF
There we'd be
     C majorC
I with my baby
G+G A minorAm FF   C majorC     G+G
On a sea of fleur-de-lis
