Capo on 1st fret

VERSE 1:
E5
Mmh, yes,

D69             C5            D69              E5
Then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth
                   D69  C5 D69  E5     
Going deep South, go down, mmh, yes,
                        D6add9   
Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies
    C5             D69          
Off of Howth Head and into the flesh, mmh, yes,

A5                            D69
He said I was a flower of the mountain, yes,
A5                            D69     E5
But now I've powers o'er a woman's body, yes. 

Chorus:
         D5 G5       A5             E5
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world.
         D5 G5       A5             E5
Stepping out...

Verse2:

         D69            C5      
To where the water and the earth caress
        D69          E5
And the down of a peach says mmh, yes,
     D69          C5
Do I look for those millionaires
       D69        E5
Like a Machiavellian girl would
             D69 C5 D69  E5
When I could wear...... a sunset? mmh, yes,

A5                     D69
And how we'd wished to live in the sensual world
A5                     D69                    E5
You don't need words--just one kiss, then another.

CHORUS:
         D5 G5 A5                   E5
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world
         D5 G5 A5                   E5
Stepping out, off the page, into the sensual world.

BREAK: E5 D5 A5 D5 A5 E5 D5 E5

VERSE 3:
             D69    C5                     D69    E5
And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech, mmh, yes,
                             D6add9 C7M D6add9
And then he whispered would I, mmh, yes,
E5                   D69  C5 D69   E5
Be safe, mmh, yes, from mountain flowers?
                                     D6add9 C7M D6add9
And at first with the charm around him , mmh, yes,
E5              A5     D69               A5
He loosened it so if it slipped between my breasts
D69                  E5
He'd rescue it, mmh, yes,
                              D69 C5 D69 E5
And his spark took life in my hand........ and... mmh, yes,
D6add9  C7M D6add9
I said, mmh, yes,
E5            D69 C5 D69 E5
But not yet, mmh, yes,
D6add9 C7M D6add9
Mmh, yes.
