Intro: G Em Am D (2x)  

Em D  

verse 1:  

G         Em       Am        D  
Oh, Philomena, you in a tawdry gown   
G            Em      Am         D  
Lean to your window, let slip a ribbon down   
 G             Em           Am         D  
A cure to your boredom, if only you'll let me go   
Em         D  
Down, down down   
G          Em        Am     D  
Long summer days can lead to lazy vices   
G           Em    Am            D  
Boys all at idle, left to their own devices   
G            Em    Am      D  
Open up your linen lap and let me go   
Em         D  
Down, down down   

 
B                        Em                Am                  D  
All I ever wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl   
B                        Em              C            D  
But I found I quickly bored, I wanted more, I wanted more  
 

verse 2:   
   G            Em          Am          D  
So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette   
G            Em       Am      D           G  
I'll be your lash and loop of leather and dark   
     Em    Am           D  
Philomena, if only you'll let me go   
Em         D  
Down, down down   

G Em Am D (3x)  
Em D  

 
 

B                        Em                Am                  D  
All I ever wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl   
B                        Em              C             D  
But I found I quickly bored, I wanted more, oh so much more   
 

verse 2:   

 G            Em          Am          D  
So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette   
G            Em       Am      D           G  
I'll be your lashing loop of leatherette   
     Em    Am           D  
Philomena, if only you'll let me go   
Em         D  
Down, down down   
   Em         D  
Go down, down down  
   Em   D  
Go down  
   G  
Go down
