Richard Shindell - On A Sea Of Fleur-De-Lis Ukulele Chords


INTRO: C   F   C   G   F  C   G

   C                F
I adore thee mother Mary
              C                   G
But would you change me back to a witch

And let me live in the arms of a sorry old elm
         F             C              G
Give the gypsy moths a realm of their own
      C                               F
For a postman's fee, would I work for thee
              C                           G
And from that tree would I swoop down and leave

A billion blue eggs of eternity
          F          C             G
And in no time you'd have your own sea

          Am   F
But don't just stare
           C
I mean it, really
G    Am F
Hear my prayer
          C
I give it freely
G   Am  F     C        G
Are you there Fleur-de-Lis?

   C                F
I adore thee mother Mary
              C                   G
But would you change me back to a witch

And let me live in the arms of willow
         F         C               G
And fly around not wearing a stitch
       C                          F
For so long has this room been so hollow
   C                           G
We wait at the gate for an echo

In the flesh of your newly cleaned frescoes
      F           C           G
Where Jesus holds John to his breast

        Am F
Wrapped around
            C
And rocking slowly
G  Am  F
No one bound
         C
To be so holy
G  Am   F       C           G
In your gown of fleur-de-lis

       C                F
And I adore thee mother Mary
              C                        G
But would you change me back to a witch

As a witch would I love you more than any man
          F            C               G
So give a wink, give a nod, but give a damn
     C                F
Be a sport, Mary, and don't tell dad
        C                             G
He need never know how he's been had

And never you mind about those seven seals
       F           C        G
'Cause daddy was a one shot deal

         Am   F
But one, two, three
                 C
It could be that easy
G     Am   F
There we'd be
          C
I with my baby
G  Am F     C           G
On a sea of fleur-de-lis

   Am F
Do-re-mi
                 C
It could be that easy
G     Am   F
There we'd be
          C
I with my baby
G  Am F     C          G
On a sea of fleur-de-lis
