Here we go...........
B5 F#5 G#5 E5
I wish I had a Sylvia Plath
B5 F#5 G#5 E5
Busted tooth and a smile
B5 F#5 G#5 E5
And ciggarette ashes in her drink
B5 F#5 G#5
The kind that goes out and then sleeps for a
E5
week
B5 F#5 G#5 E5
The kind that goes out on her own
B5 F#5 G#5 E5
To give me a reason for well I dunno
(Chorus)
A5 E5
Maybe she'd take me to France
F#5 B5
Or maybe to Spain she'd ask me to dance
A5 E5
In a mansion on the top of the hill
F#5 B5
She'd ash on the carpets and slip me a pill
A5 E5
Then she'd get me pretty loaded on gin
F#5 E5
And maybe she'd give me a bath...
G#5 E5 F#5
How I wish I had a Sylivia Plath
And she and I would sleep on a boat
And swim in the sea without any clothes
With rain falling fast on the sea
While she was swimming away, she'd be winking at me
Telling me it would all be OK
Out on the horizon and fading away
And I'd swim to the boat and I'd laugh
I gotta get me a Sylvia Plath
(REPEAT Chorus)
I wish I had a Sylvia Plath....
