Lyrics
C#m
We speak in the store
A
I'm a sensitive bore
F#m
You seem markedly more
Bsus4 B
and I'm oozing surprise
And it's late in the day
and you're well on your way
What's golden went gray
and I'm suddenly shy
And the gathering floozies
afford to be choosy
and all sneezing darkly
in the dimming divide.
I have read the right books
to interpret your looks
you were knocking me down
with the palm of your eye.
Go Na na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na
This was unlike the story
it was written to be
I was riding its back
when it used to ride me.
And we were galloping manic
to the mouth of the source
we were swallowing panic
in the face of its force.
I was blue and unwell,
made me bolt like a horse.
ooh, Na na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na
Now it's done.
Watch it go.
You've changed some.
Water run from the snow.
Am I so dear?
Do I run rare?
And you've changed some:
peach, plum, pear.

version 4
Capo:4th fret
she’s playing except you
lose an octave on bass note on D7sus2-4. To play exactly what
Joanna is playing you’ll need to tune your guitar to DGDGBE (that
version is at the bottom after the chords). I thought more people
would find a standard tuning version useful, so that’s up first.
I tried my best with the chord names.

Am7 Fadd9 D7sus2-4 Gsus4 G
changed some Peach plum pear Peach plum

********************************************************
The only way I can think to play this on guitar is to
your open strings to DGDGBE (tune E and A down a step)
Then, with a capo on 4, you play this
