[C#m]
Ophelia was a bride of God, [A] a novice common light
[E] In sister's house the cloister bells [B] tolled on [C#m] her
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 nation overnight
[E] Curvaceous 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 gown
[C#m] Ophelia was the mistress to [A] a vague-ass gambling man
[E] Signior Ophelia, maluscina, [B] mafia goddess that
[C#m] Ophelia was the circus queen, [A] the female fan of the ball
[E] Projected by flaming goose [B] to wild and sharp claws
To wild [C#m] and sharp claws
[A]
[E]
[B] Ophelia
[C#] was the [D#] tramp, a psycho, [A] the god, the murloc king
[E] Your politics, your best defense, [B] wasted and in vain
[C#m] Ophelia knowed your every woe and [A] every pain you'd ever had
[E] She'd sympathize, try your eyes, [B] help you forget
And help you [C#m] to forget,
[A] and [C#m] help you to forget
[A]
[C#m] Ophelia's mind went wandering, [A] you'd wonder where she'd gone
[E] Through secret doors, down corridors, [B] she'd wander them alone,
[C#m] all alone
All
[C#] [D#] alone
