Chord Ophelia by Natalie Merchant

hokai , so . . . this is my first submission , so . . . having said that , be gentle . ^_^ this is a simple , beautiful and dramatic song . enjoy! ophelia by natalie merchant from the album , "ophelia" Am/F/C/G i like to capo on the first fret , and i use a basic finger - picking pattern , except during the end , which builds . Am F ophelia was a bride of god , a novice carmellite C G in sister cells the cloister bells tolled on her wedding night Am F and ophelia was a rebel girl , a blue stockinged suffragette C G who remedied society between her cigarettes Am F ophelia was a sweetheart to a nation overnight C G curvacious thighs , vivacious eyes - - love was at first sight Am F C G love was at first sight Am F ophelia was a demi - goddess in pre - war babylon C G so statuesque , a silhouette in black satin evening gown Am F and ophelia was a mistress to a vegas gambling man C G signora ophelia , maraschina , mafia courtesan Am F and ophelia was a circus queen , the female cannonball C G projected through five flaming hoops to wild and shocked applause , Am F C G to wild and shocked applause hey , hey . . . . heeeeey hey hey played louder , dramatically and with feeling Am F ophelia was a tempest cyclone , A G * D - damned hurricane C G your common sense , your best defense lay wasted and in vain Am F for ophelia knows your every woe and every pain you’ve ever had C G she’d sympathize and dry your eyes and help you to forget Am F and help you to forget . . . C G and help you to forget . . . quietly and slowly Am F ophelia’s mind went wondering , you’d wondered where she’d gone C G through secret doors , down corridors , she’s wandered them all alone Am F C G all alone . . .
