Ottoman

• A

Intro 4x: A Bm G D 

( A       Bm         G             D ) 
Ottoman couch, how handsome your furniture 
Lovelier now, but dressed for a funeral 
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall 
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall 

( A       Bm           G          D ) 
Elegant clothes, you want to be seen with her 
Under your tweeds you sweat like a teenager 
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall 
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall 

A            D   G A 
Today is for you 
             D           G 
They laid it out for you 
A 
For you 
              D                       G                       A 
There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you 
         D                  G                 A 
But this feels so unnatural to Peter Gabriel, too 

( A          Bm        G          D ) 
All of the cards and all of the time it took 
Soon it's all lines of red in a leather book 
Begging you to wait for a minute by the door 
Your creeping feet where they've never been before 

A            D   G A 
Today is for you 
             D           G 
They laid it out for you 
A 
For you 
              D                       G                       A 
There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you 
         D                  G                 A 
But this feels so unnatural to Peter Gabriel, too 

( A  D  G  A )
