French Perfume
-Great Big Sea
Tabbed by: TapdancingJayses
DmIt's of a bold young smuggler
CFrom Fortune he did sail
CHe rode the waves from St. Pierre
DmAnd never saw the jail
DmHe filled her up with contraband
CPerfume, smokes and rum
CHe hoped the fog was thick enough
DmTo make another run
[Chorus:]
FYou can still see the sight
COn a winter's Fnight
COf his wake Dmin the light of the moon
CIf the wind turns right
DmIf you don't take fright
You can Fsmell thatC French perfuDmme
DmBut the Mountie boat was waiting
CAs he crawled near Mortier Bay
CAnd when they hit the spotlight
DmIt was like the light of day
DmHe didn't bring her head round
CWhen they told him to heave to
CHe opened up the engines
And Dmhe ran for Spanish Room
[Chorus]
DmThey said they heard him laughing
CWith the Mounties closing in
CHis engines screaming murder
DmAnd his face set in a grin
DmThe seagulls started lifting
CLike an angry banshee choir
CHe hit the rocks at 50 clicks
And the Dmsky lit up with fire
DmIt's of of a bold young smuggler
CFrom Fortune he did sail
CHe rode the waves from St. Pierre
And Dmhe never saw the jail
DmAnd when it's cold and foggy
COn the rocks near Spanish Room
CThey say you hear him laughing
Dm*
And you smell that French perfume
[Chorus (2x)]
Enjoy!
