Chords

This is a most beautiful, totally Mika-style weird song. It tells the sad story of a river goddess and it captured my heart the minute I heard it. Now I'm really happy I can play it myself. Intro: F F7 F F7 Bb Gm C
F                             F7
Lady Jane, the river saint, special, yes, but lucky ain't

Gm                  C                       F                 Dm
Lady Jane said she walked on water but she never had a man to show

Gm                  C                       F                    Dm 
Then, one day, she found a fellow, she was eager just to let him know

Gm              C                A               Dm
Lady Jane, she walked on water, followed by her brand new lover

     Bb             C                 F
Who tumbled along, drowning down below
F Bb F Bb
F                            F7
Lady Jane did not abort, for legends are never made that short

Gm                               C
Now be sure when you listen to this 

F
Here's another reason why you shouldn't eat fish

Gm                        C
Convinced he'd become a creature of the sea

A                               Dm
She cut off her feet and jumped into the deep

    Bb                    C                F
And never stopped looking for her lover below
F Bb F Bb
F                            F7
Lady Jane, the river fish, became the world's most wanted dish

     Gm                  C
And though no man would dare to catch

    F                           Dm
Something whose beauty we could never match

    Gm                        C
But when some emperor from a far away state

        A                            Dm
Said "I order you to get that fish's head on my plate!"

      Bb            C    F
They killed little lady Jane 
F Bb F Bb
    F                              F7
You emperor of a distant land, the only man who didn't understand

     Gm                      C
That though you think you've got your prize

 F                              Dm
There's another fish that has escaped your eyes

 Gm            C
Lady Jane, her lover's there 

A                                  D
Swimming through the ocean with a desperate stare

Bb          Cm    F    A
Looking for lady Jane

Bb           C    F       Bb   F   Bb   F   Bb   F
Looking for lady Jane
