hokai, so ... this is my first submission, so ... having said that, be gentle. ^_^ This is a simple, beautiful and dramatic song. Enjoy! OPHELIA By Natalie Merchant from the album, "Ophelia" Am/F/C/G (I like to capo on the first fret, and I use a basic finger-picking pattern, except during the end, which builds.)
AmOphelia was a bride of God, a Fnovice Carmellite Cin sister cells the cloister bells Gtolled on her wedding night AmAnd Ophelia was a rebel girl, a blue Fstockinged suffragette who Cremedied society beGtween her cigarettes
AmOphelia was a sweetheart to a Fnation overnight CurCvacious thighs, vivacious eyes--lGove was at first sight Love was Amat first sight F C G
AmOphelia was a demi-goddess in pre-warF babylon so sCtatuesque, a silhouette in Gblack satin evening gown
AmAnd Ophelia was a mistress to a FVegas gambling man SigCnora Ophelia, Maraschina, MGafia Courtesan
AmAnd Ophelia was a circus queen, the fFemale cannonball ProjCected through five flaming hoops to wGild and shocked applause, to wild and shAmocked applause F Hey, hCey .... heeeeey hey hGey
(played louder, dramatically and with feeling)
AmOphelia was a tempest cyclone, a GF*d-damned hurricane Your coCmmon sense, your best defense lay wGasted and in vain AmFor Ophelia knows your every woe and every Fpain you've ever had She'd sCympathize and dry your eyes and hGelp you to forget and help you tAmo forget ... F and help you tCo forget ... G
(quietly and slowly)
AmOphelia's mind went wondering, you'd wFondered where she'd gone CThrough secret doors, down corridors, sGhe's wandered them all alone AmAll alone ... F C G
