Madeline-mary

	  		Am               C 
  Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary 
Dm            Am 
  A tune that all can carry 
Am              C 
  Burly says if we don't sing 
Dm                 Am 
Then we won't have anything 

Am                C 
  All the boys on ship set sail 
Dm               Am 
  & the mate was Madeleine-Mary 
Am                  C 
  When her eyes did fill with tears 
Dm            Am 
  It was extraordinary 
Am            C 
  It was extraordinary 
Dm               Am 
  For we none of us could see it 
Am                C 
  For she kept herself kept below 
Dm          Am 
  & all her feelings private 

Am               C 
  Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary 
Dm            Am 
  A tune that all can carry 
Am              C 
  Burly says if we don't sing 
Dm                 Am 
Then we won't have anything 

Am                 C 
  None of us could get a glimpse 
Dm           Am 
  But all of us did want it 
Am                  C 
  At night, above our sleeping heads 
Dm             Am 
  Our sleeping dreams were haunted 

Am          C 
  So now my kids you'd like to hear 
Dm           Am 
  Of one who reached & got her 
Am              C 
  Well if there was well I think 
Dm             Am 
  He sleeps beneath the water 

Am               C 
  Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary 
Dm            Am 
  A tune that all can carry 
Am              C 
  Burly says if we don't sing 
Dm                 Am 
Then we won't have anything 



Very cool "sailor song" from Will Oldham's 1999 album I See A Darkness.  
Enjoy the chord interpretation! ~ettawhy
