^{C Em7add6 Am Am7/G F G F G
3 2 3}
(So for ease, I'm only going to write Em7 instead of Em7add6)
(Every time there is the C Em7 Am Am7/G progression, play
it like the intro)
If ^C you want to ^Em7 see, and be ^Am seen, then be ^Am7/G seen
Your ^F dress is dark ^G red and
your ^C opening ^Em7 eyes, bright ^Am green, make a ^Am7/G scene,
but dont ^F lie on your ^G bed,
laid ^F out like you're ^G dead,
Because ^Am honey you're murdering ^G me...
(musical interlude is intro twice, try to hit the root notes harder)
Be a ^C little sheep ^Em7 learning, who'll ^Am shear, and who'll ^Am7/G feed,
The hands ^F come and they ^G leave,
Be hands ^C holding a ^B knife, be a ^Am being, on two ^Am7/G feet,
With his ^F heart tremble- ^G in'
butcheri ^F n' for a ^G king,
He ^Am believes in though he's never ^G seen... la da da da
(musical interlude)
Be the ^F princess in that stone ^Em tower,
^Am Crying for that ^G handsome butchers ^Am plight,
And as ^G some princess might she still ^F calls him a ^G knight
but the ^C best thing for ^Em7 you, would be ^Am queen, so be ^Am7/G queen,
you're ^F all that I ^G need,
Though I ^C know that it ^Em7 never can ^Am be, I'd be ^Am7/G pleased,
To ^F post your ^G decrees,
to ^F Fall at your ^G knees,
to ^Am name all you streets and to ^F sit down and ^G weep
and you're ^Am carried back through them and ^F set down to ^G sleep
And to ^Am lie by you side for ^F sublime ^G centruies
till we ^Am crumble to ^G dust, when were ^F crushed by a ^G single sun
(outro same as intro but softer)
^C beam. ^{Em7 Am Am7/G}
(repeat intro till you feel like stopping and then end it on a C)
