"Big Stripey Lie"
By Kate Bush
From 1993's "The Red Shoes"


D7 


Dm/A                  
Oh big stripey lie moving 

                      Am
Like a wavy line

                         Gm/A      D7      
Coming up behind

Dm/A                                       
All young gentle dreams drowning

               Am 
In life's grief 
                                 Gm
Can you hang on me?


                                      F/G
Don't want to hurt you baby 

                                Gm
I only want to help you 

                                Dm7/G      D7
I could be good for you


Dm
Your name is being called by sacred things 

Am                                                   Gm/A
That are not addressed nor listened to 

                                             Gm
Sometimes they blow trumpets

                                F/G
Only want to help you 

                                 Gm
Never want to hurt you 

                                            Dm7/G
I know I could be good for you


Dm/A


Am                                        Gm/A
Oh my God it's a jungle in here 

                                                      Am      Gm
You've got wild animals loose in here

                        F/G
Want to help you 

                     Gm
Never hurt you 

                  Dm7/G       Dm/A
Good for you

                  Am
Hey all you little waves run away 

Gm/A                D7
Mmm run away


Dm/A      Am      Gm/A      Am      Am7     

Dm/A      Am      Gm/A      Am      Am7
