Intro: C   F   C   G   F  C   G 

   C                F 
I adore thee mother Mary 
              C                   G 
But would you change me back to a witch 

And let me live in the arms of a sorry old elm 
         F             C              G 
Give the gypsy moths a realm of their own 
      C                               F 
For a postman's fee, would I work for thee 
              C                           G 
And from that tree would I swoop down and leave 

A billion blue eggs of eternity 
          F          C             G 
And in no time you'd have your own sea 


          Am   F 
But don't just stare 
           C 
I mean it, really 
G    Am F 
Hear my prayer 
          C 
I give it freely 
G   Am  F     C        G 
Are you there Fleur-de-Lis? 


   C                F 
I adore thee mother Mary 
              C                   G 
But would you change me back to a witch 

And let me live in the arms of willow 
         F         C               G 
And fly around not wearing a stitch 
       C                          F 
For so long has this room been so hollow 
   C                           G 
We wait at the gate for an echo 

In the flesh of your newly cleaned frescoes 
      F           C           G 
Where Jesus holds John to his breast 


        Am F 
Wrapped around 
            C 
And rocking slowly 
G  Am  F 
No one bound 
         C 
To be so holy 
G  Am   F       C           G 
In your gown of fleur-de-lis 


       C                F 
And I adore thee mother Mary 
              C                        G 
But would you change me back to a witch 

As a witch would I love you more than any man 
          F            C               G 
So give a wink, give a nod, but give a damn 
     C                F 
Be a sport, Mary, and don't tell dad 
        C                             G 
He need never know how he's been had 

And never you mind about those seven seals 
       F           C        G 
'Cause daddy was a one shot deal 


         Am   F 
But one, two, three  
                 C 
It could be that easy 
G     Am   F 
There we'd be 
          C 
I with my baby 
G  Am F     C           G 
On a sea of fleur-de-lis 


   Am F 
Do-re-mi 
                 C 
It could be that easy 
G     Am   F 
There we'd be 
          C 
I with my baby 
G  Am F     C          G 
On a sea of fleur-de-lis
