Chords for Natalie Merchant - Ophelia (Official Music Video)

[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Ophelia was a bride of God, [A] a novice common _ light _
[E] In sister's house the cloister bells [B] tolled on a wedding night _ _
[C#m] _ Ophelia was the rebel girl, [A] a blue stocking _ _ suffragette _
[E] _ _ Who remedied _ society _
[B] between her _ cigarettes _
[C#m] And Ophelia was the sweetheart to [A] a maid she'll love a night _
[E] Her vicious eyes, vivacious eyes, [B] _ love was at her side
Love [C#m] was at her side, _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] love _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] Ophelia was a damning goddess [A] in pre-war Babylon
[B] So _
[E] _ _ _ statuesque, a silhouette [B] in black satin evening _ gowns _
[C#m] _ Ophelia was the mistress to [A] a vague-ass gambling man _ _
[E] Signore Ophelia, _ _ ballerina [B] mafia for dessert _ _ _
[C#m] _ Ophelia was the sarcastic queen, [A] the female _ _ cannonball _ _
[E] Projected through five flaming hoops [B] to wild and shocked applause
To wild [C#m] and shocked applause _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ Hey, hey _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] Ophelia was a [D#] tempest, a [A] cyclone, a fire, a hurricane _
[E] Your common sense, your best of facts, [B] they wasted and in vain _ _
[C#m] Ophelia, no, you're every woe and [A] every pain you've ever had _
[E] Sheets of blood lies, dry your eyes
[B] _ Help you to forget, and help you [C#m] to forget
And _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ help you [C#] to [C#m] forget _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ Ophelia's mind, when wondering, [A] you wonder where she'd gone _
[E] Your secret doors, down the corridor, _
[B] she'd wander them alone, _ [C#m] all alone _ _ _ _ _
