CHORUS
   G5         A5
Oh I am not afraid
        A5              B5
to be a lone bohemian,
      G5       A5             B5
I can paint a portrait of myself,
       G5         A5          A5
I will call me a black Mona Lisa,
     B5
Mona Lisa,
           G5    A5    B5
Come to disco - ver
          G5
I am your daughter


VERSE 1
         A5          A5          B5
The sky above me is silent and empty,
G5         A5
  I am an island,
B5
  A little freak of melancholy,
G5           A5
  But these hands,
       A5             B5
They unbead your rosary of wisdom ,
G5                 A5
  Bewitched, spellbound I'm found
      B5
and returned from superstition,
G5            A5
  You are my martyr,
      A5              B5
I'm a vestige of revolution,
   G5
My alma, my mater,
    A5
And now I can let go
   B5
my old addictive solutions


VERSE 2
A5
  I used to be a connoisseur
   G5                  A5
of hate, self hate, paternal hate,
A5
Hate cum gratis,
                 G5
I connected every kind,
A5       A5                   B5
  I was sipping it like red wine,
    G5     A5
The insecurity was mine,
    A5
The ties that bind were my design


BRIDGE
    A5
The sun is still unkind
   G5
to those like you and me,
A5
  Seekers of sanctuary,
G5
Though I'm not afraid,
    A5
I'm sanctified and fortified,
  G5
Because you sacrificed,
      A5                G5
I can call myself Mona Lisa,
                  A5
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa,
B5
Men have adored you
