[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C C
She sings along to sailor's song
G C/G G7 C/G
In a dress that she made
G C/G A7
When she's gone I sing along
F/C C
But it doesn't sound the same
[Chorus 1]
E/G# E/B Am G/B G/D C
Oh Nouel, you sing so well
F F#dim
Sing only for me
Am E/G#
Fickle and changeable
Dm G C/G G7 C/G G G C/G A7 F/C C F/C C
Though I may always be
[Verse 2]
C C
I pulled a thorn from her tiny paw
G C/G G7 C/G
Her feet were un - clean
G C/G A7
Fetch water, blessed twice
F/C C
And hand a sponge to me
[Chorus 2]
E/G# E/B Am G/B G/D C
I do well to serve Nouel
F F#dim
Whatever service I may be
Am E/G#
Fickle and changeable
Dm G C/G G7 C/G G G C/G A7 F/C C F/C C
Weighing down on me
[Verse 3]
C C
She speaks a word and it gently turns
G C/G G7 C/G
To perfect metaphor
G C/G A7
She likes to say I only play
F/C C
When I know what I'm playing for
[Chorus 3]
E/G# E/B Am G/B G/D C
Oh Nouel, you know me well
F F#dim
And I didn't even show you the scar
Am E/G#
Fickle and changeable
Dm G C/G G7 C/G G G C/G A7 F/C C F/C C
Semper femina
[Verse 4]
C C
She'd like to be the kind of free
G C/G G7 C/G
Women still can't be alone
G C/G A7
How I wish I could hit the switch
F/C C
That keeps you from getting gone
[Chorus 4]
E/G# E/B Am G/B G/D C
Oh Nouel, it hurts like hell
F F#dim
When you're so afraid to die
Am E/G#
Semper femina
Dm G C/G G7 C/G G G C/G A7 F/C C F/C C
So am I
[Verse 5]
C C
She lays herself across the bed
G C/G G7 C/G
The Origine du Monde
G C/G A7
Slight of shoulder, long and legged
F/C C
Her hair a faded blonde
[Chorus 5/Bridge]
E/G# E/B Am G/B G/D C
Oh Nouel, you sit so well
F F#dim
A thousand artists' muse
Am E/G# Dm G C/G G7 C/G G
But you'll be anything you choose
Am E/G# Dm G C/G G7
Fickle and changeable are you
C/G G G C/G G7 C/G G G C/G G7 C/G G G C/G A7 F/C C C C
And long may that continue
[Chorus 6/Outro]
E/G# E/B Am G/B G/D C
I do well to serve Nouel
