Bonnie "Prince" Billy – Jolly One (Guitar)

         C              Em                      F               F
When you ask me to      sing

                C                       Em      F               F
It feels like my heart would burst with pride

      C                  Em                     F               F
And I look at your face

    C         Em                                F               F
and tears come  to my eyes

C                    Em                         F               F
All that's harsh and wrong in my life

C          Em           F               F
melts into one sweet    song

       C            Em                  F     F
And my love spreads wings like a        glad bird

  C                     Em                      F               F
flying over     the road

C               Em                              F               F
I know you take pleasure in     my singing

C                               Em              F               F
I know that only when I         sing do you     hear me

        C                       Em
then I  touch things I can't    touch

       F                        F               C               Em      F       F
I touch parts of you that       I can't really  touch

C                   Em     F        F
Then drunk with the joy of singing

C                   C
I forget myself and

Em      F                  C                    Em      F
call    you             my friend

                C                               Em      F               F
I'm here to     sing you songs

             C          Em                      F               F
From this room I have a corner seat

        C                    Em                 F               F
In your world I have no real work to do

                    C                   Em              F
My life is just to  sit         and     sing these      songs

C                               Em              F                       F
that have                       no              purpose

C                    Em         F                       F
