The Sensual World

D            C6                 
   Mmm, yes, then I'd taken the 
Bbmaj7           Am7
kiss of seedcake back from his 
mouth,
D                        C6    
   Going deep south, go down,  
Bbmaj7
 mmm---, yes,
     C6                    D
Took six big wheels, and rolled our 
bodies ...off of Howth Head,
 C6             Bbmaj7       Am7
Into the flesh,          mmm----, 
yes!
    Gm7                      
He said I was a flower of the 
   Am7
mountain, yes,
    Gm7                      Am7
But now I've powers o'er a woman's 
body-------!


 D               C/D        Dm7 
Yes, ...stepping out of the page  
G/D
...into the sensual world,
D             C/D           Dm7
     Stepping out-------, |  /  /  /

G/D                D
    To where the water and the earth
 caress,
         C6             
And the down of a peach says,  
Bbmaj7       Am7
'Mmm------, yes!'

       D                         
Do I look for those millionaires, 
          C6          Bbmaj7
like a Machiavellian girl would?
              D          C6     
When I could wear  ...a sunset, 
Bbmaj7   Am7
 mmm---, yes,
    Gm7                Am7     
And how we'd wished to live in a 
           Gm7
sensual world,
Am7                 Gm7        
    You don't need words, just one 
Am7
kiss, then another!

    Stepping out of the page

   ...into the sensual world,
             C/D        Dm7  
    Stepping out of the page    
G/D                      D

   And then our arrows of desire 
                      C6
rewrite the speech,
    Bbmaj7                  
Mmm-------, yes, and then he 
    Am7
whispered,
         Dsus2                 
'Would I,    ...mmm---, yes, be 
 C6       Bbmaj7             Am7
safe, mmm-----, yes, from mountain 
flowers?'


D                                 
   And at first with the charm a -
  C6        Bbmaj7
 round him,  mmm--, yes,
     Am7          Gm7         Am7
He loosened it, so if  ...it 
                Gm7
slipped between my breasts,
            Am7
He'd rescue it, mmm----, yes!


D                             C6 
   And his spark took life in my 
      Bbmaj7   Am7    D
hand        ...and,  mmm---, yes,
   C6   Bbmaj7       Am7         
I said,  'Mmm, yes,     ...but 
   D            C6   Bbmaj7    
not yet,   ...mmm----,  yes,   |  /

Mmm--------, yes,   mmm---, 
A7sus4    D
 yes!
