Ive Had Her

E A E A E C#m F#m B B7

[Verse 1]
E                  A             E        A      E
the night air is inviting you to walk out on the trail
             C#m F#m
you will not fail
             B B7
you will not fail
    E              A            E        A     E
and by the beach a lady sails a ship without a sail
              C#m        F#m
and you reach out for her
              B         B7
and you reach out for her

[Chorus]
    A        B
but I've had her
A        B
I've had her
      C#m
she's nothing

[Verse 2]
E                   A              E      A      E
down the cliffs you clamor and you tumble to the shore
               C#m F#m
the warm waves roar
               B B7
the warm waves roar
E              A             E       A           E
 on the reef a mermaid siren screams one perfume more
        C#m F#m
and she shouts to you
                     B         B7
through the foam she shouts to you

[Chorus]
A            B
but I've had her
A        B
I've had her
      C#m
she's nothing

[Verse 3]
E                  A         E           A      E
the players at the party are prepared to take a chance
                C#m F#m
they drop their pants
                B B7
they drop their pants
E             A              E           A               E
in the corner she's so crystaline no one dares to ask a dance
              C#m    F#m
and she calls out to you
              B      B7
and she calls out to you

[Chorus]
A            B
but I've had her
A        B
I've had her
      C#m
she's nothing

[Verse 4]
E             A              E       A            E
in the prison of your broken bed you dribble in a dream
           C#m F#m
and find a queen
           B B7
and find a queen
         E              A           E         A    E
but your sleep is sadly stolen by a face that is a stream
               C#m   F#m
that's flowing out to you
               B      B7
that's flowing out to you

[Chorus]
A            B
but I've had her
A        B
I've had her
      C#m
she's nothing

[Verse 5]
E                 A              E      A        E
the vision of the seven veils is racing down the road
          C#m F#m
signs are slow
              B B7
the signs are slow
    E             A               E      A           E
but beauty is the mistress and by beauty you've been told
                C#m       F#m                  B B7
you'd speed the route for her, you'd speed the route for her

[Chorus]
A            B
but I've had her
A        B
I've had her
      C#m
she's nothing

[Verse 6]
E                       A         E        A          E
the fog has changed the city to a friendly frightened fawn
               C#m F#m
the shades are drawn
               B B7
the shades are drawn
E              A                       E      A        E
to possess her misty madness you would gladly duel the dawn
         C#m F#m
and fade out to her
         B         B7
and fade out to her

[Chorus]
A            B
but I've had her
A        B
I've had her
      C#m
she's nothing

[Verse 7]
E                   A            E           A       E
the circus clown he hides a tear beneath his painted smile
             C#m F#m
and charms a child
             B B7
and charms a child
          E                   A                    E      A        E
while the dancing girl on the prancing horse blows kisses down the aisle
           C#m       F#m
you'd roll about for her
           B         B7
you'd roll about for her

[Chorus]
A            B
but I've had her
A        B
I've had her
      C#m
she's nothing

[Verse 7]
E             A                  E     A       E
all along the flaming field your fairy love is spread
              C#m F#m
your time has fled
              B B7
your time has fled
        E           A                E     A         E
now the only way to touch her is the gun beside your head
               C#m       F#m
now there's no doubt for her
               B         B7
now there's no doubt for her

[Chorus]
A            B
but I've had her
A        B
I've had her
      C#m
she's nothing
