Just the chords. The guitar fills, as always, are left as an
exercise to the reader. Does anyone have a guess as to what
this song is about'

[Intro:]
G F G F G C G F
F Had a bit part
G An endless reel
Am It always played in slo-Fmo
F But now it's fast
G A spinning wheel
C I know the dynaFmo
My Fheart is cast
[Chorus:]
C Speedy MaGrie
Bb Ahead of the D#now
F She's better Cbuilt that's hoGw
She's built for Bbspeed
D# Speedy MaFrie
Speedy MaCrieG F
Oh, yes indeed
I said to me
And so I sing this romaunt
It's not enough
My liberty
There is a thing I want
I need, I love
[repeat chorus]
/Bb /C /D /F
Juxtaposed in each moment's sight
/Bb /C /D /F
Everything that I ever saw
/Bb /F
And my one delight
Nothing Bbcan C strike me Dmin such awFe
Mouth intriBbcate C shapes the Dmvoice that speFaks
Always Bbit will sooFthe
Rarer none are the precious cheeks
Is the size of each sculpted tooth
Each lip and each eye
Wise it the tongue, wet of perfect thought
And softest neck where always do I
Lay my clumsy thoughts
She is that most lovely art
Happy are my mind and my soul
And my heart
