Capo on 1st fret

VERSE 1:
E
Mmh, yes,

D69             C7M            D69              E
Then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth
                   D69  C7M D69  E     
Going deep South, go down, mmh, yes,
                        D6add9   
Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies
    C7M             D69          
Off of Howth Head and into the flesh, mmh, yes,

Am                            D69
He said I was a flower of the mountain, yes,
Am                            D69     E
But now I've powers o'er a woman's body, yes. 

Chorus:
         D G6       A             E
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world.
         D G6       A             E
Stepping out...

Verse2:

         D69            C7M      
To where the water and the earth caress
        D69          E
And the down of a peach says mmh, yes,
     D69          C7M
Do I look for those millionaires
       D69        E
Like a Machiavellian girl would
             D69 C7M D69  E
When I could wear...... a sunset? mmh, yes,

Am                     D69
And how we'd wished to live in the sensual world
Am                     D69                    E
You don't need words--just one kiss, then another.

CHORUS:
         D G6 A                   E
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world
         D G6 A                   E
Stepping out, off the page, into the sensual world.

BREAK: E D A D A E9 D E

VERSE 3:
             D69    C7M                     D69    E
And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech, mmh, yes,
                             D6add9 C7M D6add9
And then he whispered would I, mmh, yes,
E                   D69  C7M D69   E
Be safe, mmh, yes, from mountain flowers?
                                     D6add9 C7M D6add9
And at first with the charm around him , mmh, yes,
E              Am     D69               Am
He loosened it so if it slipped between my breasts
D69                  E
He'd rescue it, mmh, yes,
                              D69 C7M D69 E
And his spark took life in my hand........ and... mmh, yes,
D6add9  C7M D6add9
I said, mmh, yes,
E            D69 C7M D69 E
But not yet, mmh, yes,
D6add9 C7M D6add9
Mmh, yes.
