[Intro 1]
[Am][F][C][Gsus4][G][Gsus2][D][Dm]

[Verse 1]
Le[A]onardo
[Am]was a most energ[F]etic man
They [C]say he talked incessantly with
his [G]drawings and his hands
[Am]No books written backwards s[C]o
no [F]one would steal his plans
For [C]ships that sail beneath the sea and
[G]nonsense such [D]as [Dsus4]that[D][Dm]
He knew a [Am]man named
Machiavelli,
they were [F]most unlikely friends
The [C]madman artist dreamer and
the cal[G]culating prince
[Am]Opposites attract they say,[C]
[F]maybe tha[Bb]t was it
[F]Or per[C]haps it's just that evil is
[G]drawn to inno[D]cence
[Dsus4]Sad smile[D] of the
Mona
[A]Lisa
[D]Must have haunted him for [A]years
[G]Now [Gsus2]museum guar[G]ds
sur[D]round it like a shrine
[E]An d demoniacs go af[A]ter it with knives
[Dsus4]from time to time[D][Dm][A][Dsus4][D]
[Dm]
In
[A]Europe's [Am]midlife crisis
[F]Of [C]blo[F]ody popes and kings
Leonardo [C]dreamed of birds in flight
Made [G]sketches of their wings
Like [Am]gods on graffiti on a [F]little chapel wall
[Gsus4]He left t[C]he greatest painting,
the last [G]supper it [Dsus4]is called[D][Dm][E][Am][F][C][G][Am][F][C][Dm][G][D]
[Dm]
Leonardo [A]was [Am]ahead of his
[F]time by centuries
[G]But [C]always short of cash,
he rarely fin[G]ished
anything
He [Gsus2]was a puzzl[Am]e to his enemies,
a [F]problem for
for his friend[Dm]s, it's the wi[C]ld card of
history that [G]men like him [D]exist.[Dsus4]
[D]Sad smile of the
Mona
[A]Lisa, [D]mus[A]t h[D]ave
haunted him [A]for years.
[G]Now museum guards sur
[F#m]round [D]it like a shrine
[E]An d demoniacs go [A]after
it with [Dsus4]knives from
[D]time to [Dm]time[A][D][Dm]
