THE PHARAOHS
Neko Case 2008
Bm D
We were married in the mirrored hall when I was sixteen
D A G A
You spoke the words "I love girls in white leather jackets"
Bm G(barred)
That was good enough for love
G(barred) Bm A G F#
It was good enough for me
F#
I listened in when you thought you were alone
F#
Calling the sphinx on a tornado’s phone
D A
Who knows what you meant?
F#
I only heard what I wanted
F# Bmaj F#
You said I was your blue, blue baby ... and you were right
F# Bmaj F#
You said I was your blue, blue baby ... and you were right
Bm D A G A Bm D
Bm D
You wandered the halls all the night time
D A
My body burned, my legs ached
G A Bm D
But you never came to bed, you just left me there awake
D D
You kept me wanting, wanting, wanting
A G
Like the wanting in the movies and the hymns
D A G
I want the pharaohs but there’s only men
D A G
I want the pharaohs but there’s only men
F# Bmaj F#
You said I was your blue, blue baby … and you were right
F# Bmaj F#
You said I was your blue, blue baby … and you were right
