She Wears Red Feathers Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]She [Bb]wears [D]red feathers
and a hooli -hooli skirt
[Em]She wears red feathers
[G]and a [D]hooli -hooli skirt
She [G]lives on just [D]cokie nuts
and fish fur on the sea
A rose in her hair, a [Bm]gleam in her [D]eyes,
and love in her [A]heart [D]for me[Bm][D]
I worked in a London bank,
respectable position
[A]From nine to three the[D]y serve you tea,
but [E]prune your disposition
[A]Each nig[G]ht at the music hal[Em]l,
[D]travelogues I'd see
[G]And onc[D]e a pearl of a native girl
[Em]kept smil[A]ing right at [D]me
She wears red feathers
and a hooli -hooli skirt
[G]She [Em]wears red [G]leathers
and a [D]hooli -hooli skirt
She [G]lives on just [D]cokie nuts
and fish from the sea
A rose in her [Bm]hair, a gleam in her [D]eyes,
and [G]love in her [D]heart for me
[Bm][Em][D]
Goodbye to the London bank,
I started [A]in the sailing
The fourteenth day from [D]Mandalay,
I [E]spied her from the [A]railing
She [G]knew I was on my [Em]way,
[D]waited and was true
[G]She [D]said, you son of an Englishman,
I've [Em]dreamed each [A]night of [D]you
She wears red feathers
and a hooli -hooli [G]skirt
[Em]She wears [G]red feathers
and a [D]hooli -hooli skirt
She [G]lives on just [D]cokey nuts
and fish fur on the sea
A [Bm]rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes,
and [Em]love in her [A]heart [D]for me[Bm][Em][D]
I went to her ma and pa
and said I loved her [E]only
[A]And they both said [D]we could do it,
oh [E]what a ceremony
[A]An ele[G]phant brought her in,
[D]placed her by my side
[G]While [D]six baboons got out bassoons
and [Em]played here [A]comes
the [D]bride[Eb][Bb]
[Eb]
I'm back here in London [Cm]town[Eb]
And though it may sound [Fm]silly
[Bb]She's here with me and
[Eb]you should see us
[F]Walk down Pinker [Bb]Dilly
The [Fm]boys [Ab]at the Lo[Fm]ndon B[Ab]ank[Fm]
[Eb]Kind of [Gm]hold their [Cm]breath
[Baug]She sit [Eb]s with me and sips[Gm] her tea
[Fm]Which tickles [Bb]them to [Eb]death
She wears red feathers
And a holey, holey [Fm]skirt
She wears red feathers
and [Eb]a ho[Bb]oli -h[Fm]ooli ski[Eb]rt.
She [Ab]lives on just [Eb]coconuts
and fish from the sea.
A [Cm]rose in her [Gm]hair, [Eb]a gleam in her eyes,[Edim]
and [C]love [Fm]in he[Cm]r he[Fm]art for[Bb][Abdim]
[Eb]me.
