Ophelia - Natalie Merchant

[lampidistelami12]

Inizio proponendo un meraviglioso testo di Natalie Merchant una canzone molto melodica retrò interpretata da una vocalist d'eccezione che dubito solcherà mai un palco peninsulare neanche se la legassero con corde di vetro ad una cassa di chianti

Ophelia Natalie Merchant

Bm
Ophelia was a bride of god
G
a novice Carmelite
D
in sister cells the cloister bells
A
tolled on her wedding night

Bm
Ophelia was a rebel girl
G
a blue stocking suffragette
A
who remedied society
D
between her cigarettes

Bm
Ophelia was a sweetheart
G
to the nation over night
D
curvaceous thighs
vivacious eyes
A
love was at first sight...

Bm G D A

Bm
Ophelia was a demigoddess
G
in pre war Babylon
D
so statuesque a silhouette
A
in black satin evening gowns

Bm
Ophelia was the mistress to a
G
Vegas gambling man
D
Signora Ophelia Maraschina
A
Mafia courtesan

Bm
Ophelia was a circus queen
G
the female cannonball
D
projected through five flaming hoops
A
to wild and shocked applause...

Bm G D A

Bm
Ophelia was a cyclone, tempest
G
a god damned hurricane
D
your common sense
your best defense
A
lay wasted and in vain


Bm
Ophelia'd know your every woe
G
and pain you'd ever had
D
she'd sympathize
and dry your eyes
D
and help you to forget...

Bm G
and help you to forget...
Bm G
and help you to forget...


Bm
Ophelia's mind went wandering
G
you'd wonder where she'd gone
D
through secret doors
A
down corridors
she'd wander them alone
Bm
all alone?
