( Natalie Merchant / Indian Love Bride )

B5
Ophelia was a bride of god
   G5
a novice Carmelite
    D5
in sister cells the cloister bells
   A5
tolled on her wedding night 


B5
Ophelia was a rebel girl
   G5
a blue stocking suffragette
      A5
who remedied society
    D5
between her cigarettes 


  B5
Ophelia was a sweetheart
         G5
to the nation over night
    D5
curvaceous thighs

vivacious eyes  
A5
love was at first sight... 


B5 G5 D5 A5

B5
Ophelia was a demigoddess
G5
in pre war Babylon
D5
so statuesque a silhouette
A5
in black satin evening gowns 


 B5
Ophelia was the mistress to a
G5
Vegas gambling man
D5
Signora Ophelia Maraschina
A5
Mafia courtesan 


B5
Ophelia was a circus queen
G5
the female cannonball
D5
projected through five flaming hoops
A5
to wild and shocked applause... 


B5 G5 D5 A5

B5
Ophelia was a cyclone, tempest
G5
a god damned hurricane
D5
your common sense

your best defense
A5
lay wasted and in vain 


B5
Ophelia'd know your every woe
G5
and pain you'd ever had
D5
she'd sympathize

and dry your eyes
D5
and help you to forget... 


B5 G5
and help you to forget...  
B5 G5
and help you to forget... 


B5
Ophelia's mind went wandering
G5
you'd wonder where she'd gone
D5
through secret doors
A5
down corridors

she'd wander them alone
B5
all alone?
