VERSE 1:
E
Mmh, yes,
D6add9 Cmaj7 D6add9 E
Then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth
D6add9 Cmaj7 D6add9 E
Going deep South, go down, mmh, yes,
D6add9
Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies
Cmaj7 D6add9
Off of Howth Head and into the flesh, mmh, yes,
Am D6add9
He said I was a flower of the mountain, yes,
Am D6add9 E
But now I've powers o'er a woman's body, yes.
Chorus:
D G6 A E
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world.
D G6 A E
Stepping out...
Verse2:
D6add9 Cmaj7
To where the water and the earth caress
D6add9 E
And the down of a peach says mmh, yes,
D6add9 Cmaj7
Do I look for those millionaires
D6add9 E
Like a Machiavellian girl would
D6add9 Cmaj7 D6add9 E
When I could wear...... a sunset? mmh, yes,
Am D6add9
And how we'd wished to live in the sensual world
Am D6add9 E
You don't need words--just one kiss, then another.
CHORUS:
D G6 A E
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world
D G6 A E
Stepping out, off the page, into the sensual world.
BREAK: E D A D A Eadd9 D E
VERSE 3:
D6add9 Cmaj7 D6add9 E
And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech, mmh, yes,
D6add9 Cmaj7 D6add9
And then he whispered would I, mmh, yes,
E D6add9 Cmaj7 D6add9 E
Be safe, mmh, yes, from mountain flowers?
D6add9 Cmaj7 D6add9
And at first with the charm around him, mmh, yes,
E Am D6add9 Am
He loosened it so if it slipped between my breasts
D6add9 E
He'd rescue it, mmh, yes,
D6add9 Cmaj7 D6add9 E
And his spark took life in my hand........ and... mmh, yes,
D6add9 Cmaj7 D6add9
I said, mmh, yes,
E D6add9 Cmaj7 D6add9 E
But not yet, mmh, yes,
D6add9 Cmaj7 D6add9
Mmh, yes.
