-----------------.........

*from 'My People were Fair and had Sky in their Hair...' (1968)*


Intro:

D7sus

Verse 1:

D7sus
 Mountain eyes, peeping out of his head.
Sipping tea; composing in his bed.
                                        C
A hundred hands working on a musical of old.
            Am               C         Am       C
Debussy and Mendelssohn, Han-del and D-vorak of old.

Chorus 1:

C                                                     Am
 Child star, protegee of Mister Gormez who said you'd go far.
C                                                 Am
 Child star, they do not see just what a precious gem you'd be.

Break:

D7
 Sad to see them watching you fade, into in-invisibilty...

Verse 2:

D7sus
 Twelve years old; your elvish fingers kiss your...
Beethoven hair; the awesome people stare.
                                                      C
They're un-aware of all the Angel sounds they see and hear.
            Am               C         Am         C
Debussy and Mendelssohn, Han-del and D-vorak they hear.

Chorus 2:

C                                                     Am
 Child star, protegee of Mister Gormez who said you'd go far.
C
 Child star, and when you died at just thirteen,
              Am
They wept and wrung their hair.

Break:

D7
 Sad to see them mourning you,
And you are there within the flowers and the trees...

Coda:

C                                                     Am
 Child star, protegee of Mister Gormez who said you'd go far.

Outro:

D7

D              C                       G               C   D
 Mannikin skin pounding on a bass-drum; strange orches-tra-a.

D             C                        G            C    D
 Lillipution, evil in the eyes, of the man with the leaf harp.
D                 C                    D            C

D                         C
 The sky blackens and the bass string slackens,
         G           C     D
And they stand statu-esque-ly.
D                          C
 Then they giggle and they wiggle, through the door,
       G        C   D
In the big dark oak tree.

Her pearly author's teeth, Tore the seasoned cedar coloured pheasant.

Was cool and shrill and frightening.

Miss Drag is intermingled, with the powder-blue chaise lounge.

She types some acid words to her, hairless Havana art dealer.
