Verse 1
                           C      G
Girl sleeping on a mansion roof
                    C   G
Under a wintery sky
                               D/F#    C
Wrapped she is in her furs and sable
                       G
Starlight in her eye

Verse 2
                                 C      G
And what is the name of this creature?
                            C   G
Where did she live and when?
                    D/F#
Who was she and why was it
           C                      G      C   G   C   G
That Peter Lake - loved - Beverly Penn?

Verse 3
                            C      G
Four o'clock in a marble morning
                          C   G
Water pouring on her skin
                          D/F#  C
In fever, her life bursts open
                           G
And a hurricane blows in

Verse 4
                                  C          G
When high from the dreams of this creature
                           C   G
A thief on a horse descends
                         D/F#
It was dawn and it was December
          C                      G
And Peter Lake - loved - Beverly Penn

Verse 5
                          C    G
It was all of a windy day
                              C    G
And the sky was full of crows
                      D/F#      C
When her lovely soul ascended
                                      G
She just closed her heart and rose

Verse 6
                                 C       G
And whither the soul of this creature?
                        C   G
Tell me the story again
                             D/F#
Of scarves and songs and the skin of space
              C                      G
And how Peter Lake - loved - Beverly Penn

Instrumental
G  C  G  C  G  D/F#  C    G

Verse 7
                              C    G
I would dive in a freezing river
                      C     G
Set fire to a hundred men
                     D/F#
If I could, for just one time
         C                                  G      C   G   C   G
Love somebody the way that he loved Beverly Penn
