Great Big Sea – French Perfume (Guitar Intro Tab)

     Dm
It's of a bold young smuggler

     F              C
From Fortune he did sail

   C
He rode the waves from St. Pierre

    Dm
And never saw the jail

   Dm
He filled her up with contraband

F                    C
Perfume, smokes and rum

   C
He hoped the fog was thick enough

   Dm
To make another run

        F
You can still see the sight

     Bb       F
On a winter's night

       Bb          F            Dm
Of his wake in the light of the moon

       C
If the wind turns right

       Dm
If you don't take fright

        F          C         Dm
You can smell that French perfume

        Dm
But the Mountie boat was waiting

      F                    C
As he crawled near Mortier Bay

    C
And when they hit the spotlight

       Dm
It was like the light of day

   Dm
He didn't bring her head round

          F                 C
When they told him to heave to

C
He opened up the engines

       Dm
And he ran for Spanish Room

        F
You can still see the sight

     Bb       F
On a winter's night

       Bb          F            Dm
Of his wake in the light of the moon

       C
If the wind turns right

       Dm
If you don't take fright

        F          C         Dm
You can smell that French perfume

     Dm
They said they heard him laughing

         F                C
With the Mounties closing in

    C
His engines screaming murder

        Dm
And his face set in a grin

    Dm
The seagulls started lifting

        F             C
Like an angry banshee choir

   C
He hit the rocks at 50 clicks

        Dm
And the sky lit up with fire

     Dm
It's of a bold young smuggler

     F              C
From Fortune he did sail

   C
He rode the waves from St. Pierre

       Dm
And he never saw the jail

    Dm
And when it's cold and foggy

       F                  C
On the rocks near Spanish Room

     C
They say you hear him laughing

        Dm
And you smell that French perfume

        F
You can still see the sight

     Bb       F
On a winter's night

       Bb          F            Dm
Of his wake in the light of the moon

       C
If the wind turns right

       Dm
If you don't take fright

        F          C         Dm
You can smell that French perfume

        F
You can still see the sight

     Bb       F
On a winter's night

       Bb          F            Dm
Of his wake in the light of the moon

       C
If the wind turns right

       Dm
If you don't take fright

        F          C         Dm
You can smell that French perfume

        F          C         Dm
You can smell that French perfume
