David Knopfler - The Snowscape Paperweight Girl
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: C F C F C
F C
You had your body pierced in Naples
F C
Found your patron saints in Rome
F C
Your Buddha, brought back from Bangkok
F C
Hides your runic stones
F C
And your star of David, a-crucified
F G
In a pendant you made from bones
F C
Your Hindi music's on the hifi
E Am G
And your Muslim is on the phone
F G F G F G
In this place you now call home
F C
Still, you take your clothes off slowly
F C
To stoned messiah's tones
F C
Your mirror ball retro-flits
F C
Across your bolstered bed-sit wall
F C
And you pray for all life can bring you
F G
It's like you're praying for us all
F C
Your tarot spoke of a stranger
E Am G
Your I-Ching of a girl unknown
F G F G Am G
In this place you now call home (you now call home)
Am F
And you bleed for the blade life will give ya
Am F
But still you want to swallow whole
Am F
The stoned messiahs prophesise
C F
It's like a hot-wire to your soul
C
Like your bible that's holding your life up
E Am G
Or a window to your world
F C
As the camera pans out from a laptop
E Am
We'll watch your world grow small
F G F
As snowflakes swirl in a ticker-tape snowscape
G F
Fade out on a paperweight - and a golden girl
Harmonica Break: C F C F C F C
Oh oh, yeah
F C
Turning soul cards with Retsina
F C
Which you pour like sacred scrolls
F C
Kneeling naked at your altar
F C
Your patchwork quilt enfolds ya
F C
And it's a Hindi music on the hifi
F G
And a Sufi on the phone
F C
The dance becoming your reality
E Am G
I think it's time that I was going
F G F
From this place you now call home
OUTRO: G F G F G
Am G
Don't hang up, don't hang up, don't hang up
F
Don't hang up, don't hang up, don't hang up
