Grandfather Please Stand On The Shoulders Of My Father While He's Deep-sea Fishing (feat. Riopy)

	  		Eb/Bb 
I know they think 
             Eb/Bb 
That it took somebody else 
           Bbm 
To make me beautiful 
Bbm 
Beautiful 
   Ab                     Ab 
As they intended me to be 
            Eb/Bb 
But they're wrong 


Eb/Bb 
I know they think 
             Eb/Bb 
That it took thousands of people 
          Bbm 
To put me together again 
          Bbm 
Like an experiment 
     Ab 
Some big man behind the scenes 
       Ab 
Sewing Frankenstein black dreams into my songs 
            Eb/Bb 
But they're wrong 


Db/Ab                           Ab 
God, if you're near me, send me three white butterflies 
Eb/Bb 
Or an owl to know you're listening 
Eb/Bb 
Sitting while I'm drinking 
Db/Ab                             Ab 
Grandfather, please stand, on the shoulders of my father 
           Eb/Bb                Eb/Bb 
While he's deep-sea fishing for sharks in the Pacific 

           Db/Ab 
'Cause I'm good in spirit, warm body 
  Ab                           Eb/Bb 
A fallible deity wrapped up in white 
    Db/Ab 
I'm folk, I'm jazz, I'm blue, I'm green 
  Ab                        Eb/Bb 
Regrettably, also a white woman 

         Db/Ab                   Ab                      Eb/Bb 
But I have good intentions, even if I'm one of the last ones 
               Db/Ab                     Ab 
If you don't believe me, my poetry or my melodies 
                Eb/Bb 
Feel it in your bones 
      Db/Ab                  Ab                      Eb/Bb 
I have good intentions, even if I'm one of the last ones 
   Db/Ab           Ab              Eb/Bb 
Ah-ha-ah, yeah, ah-ha-ah, yeah, ah-ha-ah, yeah 

Db/Ab                             Ab 
Grandfather, please, stand on the shoulders of my father 
           Eb/Bb                Eb/Bb 
While he's deep-sea fishing for all the things he's wishing 
Db/Ab                              Ab 
   God, if you're near me, send me three white butterflies 
     Eb/Bb                      Eb/Bb 
Or a map to know your vision, impart on me your wisdom 

        Ab                       Bbm 
It took somebody else to make me beautiful 
Bbm 
Wonderful 
   Ab 
As they intended me to be 
            Eb/Bb 
But they're wrong 

Three white butterflies to know you're near
