The Floating Men - The idle hours

^EmClear eyed and fair ^D She led me up the stairs and piled her ^Cpillows where the ^Dsunlight through the b^Clinds could find he^Dr hair ^{Em Em}Who would know? ^D

In lurking c^Circles all aro^Dund the grounds with no^C minds left to ^Dblow

We made a ^Dblood vow and ^Cplayed the music lou^Emd ^{F# G} She tried to d^Drown out the laughter and the ^Emsound of making sacred lo^Amve to^Bm me ^C to while a^Dway the id^Cle hours ^{D Em}

^EmPedals and blooms ^D Powders and perfumes A dogwood b^Clossom breeze that f^Durled and teased the c^Curtains in her^D room ^Em As we shared our fill ^D

Flushed and ^Cnaked, Damp and^D aching in pools of^C beaujolais we'd ^Dspilled

We made a ^Dblood vow and ^Cplayed the music lou^Emd ^{F# G} She tried to d^Drown out the laughter and the ^Emsound of making sacred lo^Amve to^Bm me ^C to while a^Dway the id^Cle hours ^D

A^Am dist^Bmant t^Chunder unde^Drmined the whine of ^Emdebutantes and par^Casites collapsing in their t^Dracks outside T^Amheir ^Bmghost^Cly voices fell and ^Drose ^Eminvoking Michelan^Cgelo muffled through the f^Dloor below

^EmA midday moon ^D A single afternoon A simple ^Csin between two f^Driends that sadly ^Chad to end so s^Doon ^Em But I never cried ^D

The wall of ^Clies I helped her ^Dhide behind pret^Cending not to ^Dmind

We made a ^Dblood vow and ^Cplayed the music loud^{Em F# G} She tried to d^Drown out the laughter and the ^Emsound of making sacred lo^Amve to^Bm me ^C to while a^Dway the id^Cle hours ^D Whilin' a^Cway ^D Whilin' a^Cwaayy ^D How dare ^Emyou? H^Dow dare ^Emyou? H^Dow dare y^Cou? ^{D C D Em}
