Magdalene (My regal zonophone)    (video)

 

    G - C

 

       Am                                       D                    G                           C

1. Though I know the night has fallen and the sun's sailed out to sea,

  Am                                  D                       G                     C

    I will wait here for the band to play the trumpet voluntary.

                   C7                       F                        Dm

    And with one foot on the seashore and the other in the sand,

              G                            G7                           C

    I will stand here planting daisies whilst you play the piano-grand

 

  Am                                  D                     G                         C

2.    Caprice, your bugle blew away the cobwebs from my ears,

    Am                                      D                 G                           C

    and for once I stood quite naked, unashamed, I wept the tears.

        C7                  F                                  Dm

    Which I tried to hide inside myself from me, I mean from you,

                    G                        G7                    C

    but the shame I found too painful and the pain it only grew....
