Luminous Rose-Robyn Hitchcock, arr. by Marc Dacey
Capo: 2nd fret
Intro: G6-Em7-Cadd9-Asus4-A7-A7sus2
G6-A7sus4-G6 Cadd9 G6-A7sus4-G6
Oh, the bodies of drowned sailors and dead airmen
Cadd9 G6
Flounder upside down beneath the roaring wave
Cadd9 G6
And the fishes eat the flesh from off their fingers
Cadd9 G6
And the sea is so much deeper than the grave
Cmaj Cadd9 Em/5+ C7(no5)
And the pale English stone
Gmaj A7sus4/F# Em7
Stands alone
G6 Cadd9
Over me
(Repeat pattern)
Oh, the bodies rise and falling in slow motion
As the flesh gives way to coral and her charms
If you listen hard, you'll hear the sea is breathing
And she's waiting there to hold you in her arms
And the pale English sun
Shone
Over me
Oh, the telegram is lying on the table
You left it there, you can't believe it's true
God finds you naked and he leaves you dying
What happens in between is up to you
And the luminous rose
Glows
Over me
Over me
