The Waterboys – Beverly Penn (Guitar)

                           C      G
Girl sleeping on a mansion roof

                    C   G
Under a wintery sky

                               D/F#    C
Wrapped she is in her furs and sable

                       G
Starlight in her eye

                                 C      G
And what is the name of this creature?

                            C   G
Where did she live and when?

                    D/F#
Who was she and why was it

           C                      G      C   G   C   G
That Peter Lake - loved - Beverly Penn?

                            C      G
Four o'clock in a marble morning

                          C   G
Water pouring on her skin

                          D/F#  C
In fever, her life bursts open

                           G
And a hurricane blows in

                                  C          G
When high from the dreams of this creature

                           C   G
A thief on a horse descends

                         D/F#
It was dawn and it was December

          C                      G
And Peter Lake - loved - Beverly Penn

                          C    G
It was all of a windy day

                              C    G
And the sky was full of crows

                      D/F#      C
When her lovely soul ascended

                                      G
She just closed her heart and rose

                                 C       G
And whither the soul of this creature?

                        C   G
Tell me the story again

                             D/F#
Of scarves and songs and the skin of space

              C                      G
And how Peter Lake - loved - Beverly Penn

                              C    G
I would dive in a freezing river

                      C     G
Set fire to a hundred men

                     D/F#
If I could, for just one time

         C                                  G      C   G   C   G
Love somebody the way that he loved Beverly Penn
