Chords for Van Morrison - Madame George (live at the Hollywood Bowl, 2008)

_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
Oh, _ [G] the sight of you _ _
_ _ [C] _ Was a [D] childlike vision leaping [G] into view _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ Clicking, [D] clacking of the [G] high heeled shoe
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [D] Forging Fitzroy and Madame [G]
Joy
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ Watching with a [G] soldier boy _ behind
He, _ _ [C] _ _
my [D] children, now with [G] head on drinking wine
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[G] And [D] the smell of sweet [G] perfume comes drifting through
_ [C] _ Your [G] [D] lilac, yeah, like a [G] cellar wine
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D]
That's it, they're [G] making all the stops _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ Kids out [D] in the street collecting [G] bottle tops _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] Off of cigarettes and matches in [G] the shops _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ They'll be [D] drinking to Madame [G] Joy _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] That's when you [G] fall, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] again _ you [G] fall
_ That's _ _ _ [C] _ when you [D] fall, and again and [G] again you fall
To _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [G] a dress, _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ sitting on [D] the sofa playing games [G] of chess _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ With [D] your folded arms and hustled buckshoe [G] glance _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ Into the _ [D]
eyes of Madame [G] Joy _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D]
And this time you [G] think you've found the bag
You _ _ [C] _ _ get a [D] winker and your knees [G] begin to sag
_ In _ _ [C] _ _ _ a [D] corner playing _ [G] dominoes and drag
Oh, _ _ _ [C] _ _ I know [D] that it's Madame [G] Joy
_ When _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _
outside [G] the frosty window raps _ _
_ _ [C] You jump up and say, Lord [D] have mercy, I think that [G] it's the cops
_ And _
_ _ _ [C] _ immediately drops [D] everything she's got
[G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ Down [D] into the street, [G] feel the warmth _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ And you know you gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta [C] go, gotta go
When [D] the train's rolling up [G] the sandy road, sandy road
_ [C] _ _ Blowing [D]
feathers at the bridges [G] down below
_ Hear _ _ _ [C] _ _ the [D] rain hail, rain hail, [G] sleet and snow _ _
Hear _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _
your bottle leaves [G] rustle in the music
Let me hear the music, [C] let the music dance
Let [D] the music, let the music [G] all around the room
_ [Em] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ Oh, the little boy [D] walks away feeling oh so [G] cool
_ So _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] cool, so _ [G] cool
_ Hear _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D]
your bottle leaves, he jumps up [G] and says _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ Think you [D] forgot something, [G] looks like you're drunk _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ And [D] the lover loves the lover, [G] loves the lover, loves the listener
Loves the listener, _ _ [C] _ loves the [D]
listener
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ Think [D] about _ the [G] _ river, _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ in the wind and the [D] rain
In the wind and the [G] rain, in the back street
In _ _ [C] the wind and the rain, [D]
way down the hall [G] in the back street _
_ _ _ [C] Way down beyond the [D] back street in the wind and the rain
[G] _ _ In _
_ _ _ [C] _ the wind and [D] the rain, way down the [G] hall in the back street _
Way down [C] home, way down low, way [D] down the home
_ is [G] a back street. _ _ _
_ _ [C] Way down home, way down [D] home,
way down [G] home is a back street.
