[Intro]
B7#11 Fm11 Stella Mater Ebm7 Abm7 Emaj7 Ebm9 Light is fai- ling E6 Am6 Dm11 Making such a fool of thee Am7 Asus4 Ebm6 D7 F Cm7 When you'd love to be someone
[Verse 1]
N.C. Am11 This is the time G Am11 I've set aside Em7 Am11 From selling old rope Em7 Am11 And telling bad jokes G Am11 And cul de sac pride G Am11 I've learnt today G Am11 While falling apart Em7 Am11 The most eloquent way Em7 Am11 To speak or to pray G Am11 Is straight from the heart
[Bridge 1]
G Bm7 Am7 Oh, but to shine like Joan of Arc Em Em/D Am7 You must be prepared to burn
[Break]
Am7 Gm(maj7) Bb7
Am7 Cmaj7/G D/F#
[Verse 2]
N.C. Am11 Forget the style G Am11 And choose from twelve notes Em7 Am11 In itself it's a joy Em7 Am11 Whether it soothes or annoys G Am11 A song starts in the throat G Am11 Take two kinds of look G Am11 And one wedding day Em7 Am11 Now isn't it clear Em7 Am11 There's nothing they'll hear G Am11 That you'd want to say
[Bridge 2]
G Bm7 Am7 And if you've no new clothes to wear Em Em/D Am7 Then simply wash and comb your hair
[Chorus]
N.C. Cmaj7 And little green Isaac D Cmaj7 C/D You're gonna walk backwards through the room Em7 Cmaj7 Does that mean I won't see you? Em7 Cmaj7 C/D It means you walk backwards through the room D Cmaj7 And little green Isaac D Cmaj7 C/D I hear you're still wet behind the ears Em7 Cmaj7 Isaac's a soft name Em7 Cmaj7 C/D It sounds like a pocketful of rain Cmaj7 Bm7 Ooh ooh D/E C/D Well, up that stairway he rose Bm7 Am11 And down that stairway he goes
[Repeat chorus]
[Outro]
N.C. Cmaj7 G-g-g-green Isaac D Cmaj7 G-g-g-green Isaac D Cmaj7 Bm7 Am11 G-g-g-green I- sa- ac
