(So for ease, I'm only going to write Em7 instead of Em7add6)
(Every time there is the C Em7 Am Am7/G progression, play
it like the intro)
If [C]you want to [Em7]see, and be [Am]seen, then be [Am7/G]seen
Your [F]dress is dark [G]red and
your [C]opening [Em7]eyes, bright [Am]green, make a [Am7/G]scene,
but dont [F]lie on your [G]bed,
laid [F]out like you're [G]dead,
Because [Am]honey you're murdering [G]me...
(musical interlude is intro twice, try to hit the root notes harder)
Be a [C]little sheep [Em7]learning, who'll [Am]shear, and who'll [Am7/G]feed,
The hands [F]come and they [G]leave,
Be hands [C]holding a [B]knife, be a [Am]being, on two [Am7/G]feet,
With his [F]heart tremble-[G]in'
butcheri[F]n' for a [G]king,
He [Am]believes in though he's never [G]seen... la da da da
(musical interlude)
Be the [F]princess in that stone[Em] tower,
[Am]Crying for that [G]handsome butchers[Am] plight,
And as [G]some princess might she still [F]calls him a [G]knight
but the [C]best thing for [Em7]you, would be [Am]queen, so be [Am7/G]queen,
you're [F]all that I [G]need,
Though I [C]know that it [Em7]never can [Am]be, I'd be [Am7/G]pleased,
To [F]post your [G]decrees,
to [F]Fall at your [G]knees,
to [Am]name all you streets and to [F]sit down and [G]weep
and you're [Am]carried back through them and [F]set down to [G]sleep
And to [Am]lie by you side for [F]sublime [G]centruies
till we [Am]crumble to [G]dust, when were [F]crushed by a [G]single sun
(outro same as intro but softer)
[C]beam.[Em7] [Am] [Am7/G]
(repeat intro till you feel like stopping and then end it on a C)
