Flowering Spade

Text File

This guy is the most underrated guy I've ever seen/heard.

This song sounds best tuned a whole step down (like the album).
Sounds good a half step down.
In standard it may be a bit high for us baritones to sing along.

G        C/G        em            C/G         em 
He has a flowering spade growing out of his chest
        D         D7
full of magic and healing,
G        C/G        em            C/G             em
She is a flowering spade and she moves and she sways
        D        D7
you can see that she feels it.

--For the next section play very percussively It looks something like this--
