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
