bouquet for a siren - seBADoh
by Eric Gafney
============================
Here's one of my favorites from Erik.

NOTE: I only tabbed out the faster part of this song,
if anyone finds the patience to tab the rest I'd love a
copy.  Also, don't flame me for incorrect lyrics,
however helpful comments and corrections are welcome
and invited.

CHORDS

I'm too proud for lessons so I'll draw them out.  You'll
have to listen to the song, on bubble and scrape, for
the timings and patterns

A--7-/-10-\-5-/-7-------|    ie:each chord is strummed more
E--5-/-8--\-3-/-5-------|    than listed.

LYRICS: (or close to them)
Enlighten my lives(?)
Close my eyes
Valiant, Like a god I fly
Merry go round, wind and speed
Working only for a luxury
Married to failure
Don't buy grief
I'm frightened (on an awful cheek)/(on and off ???????)
Since when, again,
I care I swear
I don't intend to be mean

siren glides from surf to cliff
Endearing language (is) provocative
I'm here to say what's done is done
Serving shark fin soup for everyone

Beautiful women in the world to see
I'm a born romantic E A G (thorn romantic)?
Gotta right to find the American dream
and so what
Stranded here high and dry
???????????? on which I lie
Born to win(?)
Have to wait And see
on a stepping stone with dust and roses at its feet(?)

Feeling a weak as a circus freak
I've got to relocate, I wanna sail the seas
Should of never have kissed
Should of never have played
Pardon me I had a place to stay

Repeat first Verse and chorus
