A Perfect Indian
Sing by Sinead O'Cornner
Am9 G6 Fmaj
A Perfect Indian is he
And there I saw a young baby
On a table in her yellow dress
Am9 G6 Fmaj
Remembering him life is sweet
A beautiful daughter was she
For a photograph feigned happiness
C G6
Like a weeping willow
A face from a painting
Why in my life is that
Fmaj Em
His face on my pillow
Red cheeks and teeth aching
the only time
Am9 G6 Am
Comes to me still in my dreams
Her eyes like a wild Irish sea
That any of you will smile at me
C G6 Fmaj Em
I'm sailing on this terrible ocean
I'm sailing on this terrible ocean
Am9 G6 Am
I've come for my self to retrieve
I've come for my self to retrieve
Am9 G6 Fmaj Em
Too long have I been feeling like Lir's children
Too long have I been feeling like Lir's children
Am9 G6 Am
And there's only one way to be free
And there's only one way to be free
Am9 G6 Fmaj
He's shy and he speaks quietly
Am9 G6 Fmaj
He's gentle and he seems to me
C G6
Like the elf-arrow
Fmaj Em
His face worn and harrowed
Am9 G6 Am
Is he a daydreamer like me
