Verse 1 chords:
C Am Em F C
Cindy writes a paragraph, says time is passing
Am Em F C
But the bubbles in her heart are everlasting
Am Em F
Yeah she gave her life to art, and who could blame her
G
It’s pretty major
Am Em F
Fraught with danger and stuff like that
Chorus Chords:
Dm G
Oh Mighty engine, of good intention
C G F
You’re purring softly beside me
[Fill 1]
C G F
Grinding gently inside me
[Fill 1] [Fill 2]
C G F (C G) x2
Tapping totally madly...for you
Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords)
Says the plot is getting strange, it’s taken over
And the hero’s run away, and no one told her
But she can’t control the page
It’s taken over
There’s people dying, semi colons crying
And full stops finding fault...O what a dolt
Chorus:
Oh Mighty engine, of good intention
You’re purring softly beside me
Grinding gently inside me
Tapping totally madly...for you

Chorus:
Oh Mighty engine, of good intention
You’re purring softly beside me
Grinding gently inside me
Tapping totally madly...for you
Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords)
Cindy writes of kerosene and broken bottles
Says the troubles were a part of someone’s childhood
But she can’t get past the point where someone’s dying
It’s pretty minor
A pithy liner should sort it out
But he won’t die
he just mucks about, oh it’s so hard
Verse 4: (use verse 1 chords)
Now we’ve broken out the gin, it helps her thinking
And given into sin, we’re breathing deeply
But something’s on her mind
A chapter stirring, her mind is whirling
And off she trots
To tap her keys to the top, oh she’s off
Chorus:
Oh Mighty engine, of good intention
You’re purring softly beside me
Grinding gently inside me
Tapping totally madly...for you
