[INTRO:] G [VERSE 1:]
               C/G
In the name of love she came 

     G               C/G
This foolish winsome girl 

        D          D/C        G/B     C
She was all decked out like a rainbow trout

Swimming upstream in the world 
[CHORUS:]
                                   C/G     G

[VERSE 2:]
                     G
So I took her by the hand

She took me by the will 

        A          A/G       D/F#      G
She was all dolled up like a blue eyed pup 

A           Asus4        A
Looking for something to spill 
[CHORUS:]
               D       D/F#         G       D
And she said, "Please, please, I've lost my way

The current is too strong

In the name of love"

This foolish winsome girl

The current is too strong 

         A        A/G         D/F#    G          A
Then she gave one flip of the rainbow tip of her tail

        A7        D    
And she swam back down
[CHORUS:]
                       D/F#         G       D
And she said, "Please, please, I've lost my way 

                   G
The current is too strong 

       A       A/G        D/F#   G     A

In the name of love"

In the name of love"
