I a^Cdore thee mother ^FMary But would you ^Cchange me back to a ^Gwitch

And let me live in the arms of a sorry old elm

Give the ^Fgypsy moths a ^Crealm of their ^Gown For a ^Cpostman's fee, would I work for ^Fthee And from that ^Ctree would I swoop down and ^Gleave

A billion blue eggs of eternity

And in no ^Ftime you'd ^Chave your own ^Gsea

But don't ^Amjust ^Fstare I mean it, ^Creally ^GHear ^Ammy ^Fprayer I give it ^Cfreely ^GAre ^Amyou ^Fthere ^CFleur-de-^GLis?

I a^Cdore thee mother ^FMary But would you ^Cchange me back to a ^Gwitch

And let me live in the arms of willow

And fly a^Fround not ^Cwearing a stitch^G For so ^Clong has this room been so ^Fhollow We ^Cwait at the gate for an echo^G

In the flesh of your newly cleaned frescoes

Where ^FJesus holds ^CJohn to his ^Gbreast

Wrapped ^Amaro^Fund And rocking ^Cslowly ^GNo ^Amone ^Fbound To be so ^Choly ^GIn ^Amyour ^Fgown of ^Cfleur-de-lis^G

And I a^Cdore thee mother ^FMary But would you ^Cchange me back to a witch^G

As a witch would I love you more than any man

So give a ^Fwink, give a ^Cnod, but give a ^Gdamn Be a ^Csport, Mary, and ^Fdon't tell dad He need ^Cnever know how he's been had ^G

And never you mind about those seven seals

'Cause ^Fdaddy was a ^Cone shot ^Gdeal

But one, ^Amtwo, ^Fthree It could be that ^Ceasy ^GThere ^Amwe'd ^Fbe I with my ^Cbaby ^GOn ^Ama s^Fea of ^Cfleur-de-lis^G

Do-^Amre-^Fmi It could be that ^Ceasy ^GThere ^Amwe'd ^Fbe I with my ^Cbaby ^GOn ^Ama s^Fea of ^Cfleur-de-li^Gs
