The Decemberists – Infanta (Ukulele)

         E
Here she comes in her palanquin on the back of an elephant

     F                                 E
On a bed made of linen and sequins and silk

        F                                      E
And her nurse with her pitchers of liquors and milk

          G        D            E
And we'll all come praise the infanta

          G        D            E
And we'll all come praise the infanta

      E
Among five score pachyderm each canopied and passengered

        F                                     E
Sit the duke and the duchess's luscious young girls

       F                                   E
On her side sits the baron, her barrenness barbs her

          G        D            E
And we'll all come praise the infanta

          G        D            E
And we'll all come praise the infanta

  F
A phalanx on camel back, thirty ranks on a forward tack

         F#                                      F
Followed close, their shiny bright standards are waving

        F#                                F
And the veiled young virgin, the prince's betrothed

          G#       D#         F
And we'll all come praise the infanta

          G#       D#         F
And we'll all come praise the infanta

E                        F
And as she sits upon her place 

E                         F
Her innocence laid on her face

Bb                                F
From all atop the parapets blow a multitude of coronets

Bb                       F
Melodies rhapsodical and fair

Bb                            F
And all our hearts afire, the sky ablaze with cannonfire

   E                           F
We all raise our voices to the air

       E
To the air

    E
And above all this folderol on a bed made of chaparral

       F                             E
She is laid, a coronal placed on her brow

      F                                         E
And a lake where her cradle was pulled from the water

          G        D            E
And we'll all come praise the infanta

          G        D            E
And we'll all come praise the infanta

          G        D            E
And we'll all come praise the infanta
