Biography:
Lamya Al-Mugheiry (30 October 1973 – 8 January 2009) was a Kenyan-born British singer-songwriter and record producer. Her versatile style, while not easily pigeonholed, has been described variously as pop, electronic, or dance. However, the careful listener will note Middle Eastern instrumentation and trip-hop influences on her music as well.
She came to prominence in 1993 when she toured with Duran Duran on their Wedding Album tour. Her standout performance was the re-worked live version of their song "Come Undone"

CHORUS
G A
Oh I am not afraid
A Bm
to be a lone bohemian,
G A Bm
I can paint a portrait of myself,
G A A
I will call me a black Mona Lisa,
Bm
Mona Lisa,
G A Bm
Come to disco - ver
G
I am your daughter
VERSE 1
A A Bm
The sky above me is silent and empty,
G A
I am an island,
Bm
A little freak of melancholy,
G A
But these hands,
A Bm
They unbead your rosary of wisdom,
G A
Bewitched, spellbound I'm found
Bm
and returned from superstition,
G A
You are my martyr,
A Bm
I'm a vestige of revolution,
G
My alma, my mater,
A
And now I can let go
Bm
my old addictive solutions
VERSE 2
A
I used to be a connoisseur
G A
of hate, self hate, paternal hate,
A
Hate cum gratis,
G
I connected every kind,
A A Bm
I was sipping it like red wine,
G A
The insecurity was mine,
A
The ties that bind were my design
BRIDGE
A
The sun is still unkind
G
to those like you and me,
A
Seekers of sanctuary,
G
Though I'm not afraid,
A
I'm sanctified and fortified,
G
Because you sacrificed,
A G
I can call myself Mona Lisa,
A
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa,
Bm
Men have adored you
let me know. Thanks!
