Philomena

You can use D7 instead of D during the verse, it'll sound nice. :)


G Em Am D  x5
Em D
Verse 1:
G         Em       Am        D
Oh, Philomena, are you in a tawdry gown 
G            Em      Am         D
Lean to your window, let slip a ribbon down 
 G             Em           Am         D
A cure to your boredom, if only you'll let me go 
Em         D
Down, down down 
G          Em        Am     D
Long sunny days can lead to lazy vices 
G           Em    Am            D
Boys all at idle, left to their own devices 
G            Em    Am      D
Open up your linen lap and let me go 
Em         D
Down, down down 

Chorus: 
B                        Em                Am                  D
All I ever wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl 
B                        Em              C            D
But I found I've quickly bored, I wanted more, I wanted more 

Verse 2: 
   G            Em          Am          D
So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette 
G            Em       Am      D           G
I'll be your lash and loop of leather and dark 
     Em    Am           D
Philomena, if only you'll let me go 
Em         D
Down, down down 

G Em Am D x3
Em D
Chorus: 

B                        Em                Am                  D
All I ever wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl 
B                        Em              C             D
But I found I've quickly bored, I wanted more, oh so much more 

Verse 2: 

 G            Em          Am          D
So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette 
G            Em       Am      D           G
I'll be your lash and loop of leather and dark 
     Em    Am           D
Philomena, if only you'll let me go 
Em         D
Down, down down 
   Em         D
Go down, down down
   Em   D
Go down
   G
Go down
