[Intro 1]
[D][Eb][D]

[Verse 1]
Here she [D]comes in her palanquin
On the back of an elephant
On [Eb]a bed made of linen
and sequins and [D]silk
All astride on her father's line
With the king and his concubines
And her [Eb]nurse with her pitchers
of liquors and [D]milk
And we'll [F]all come [C]praise the in[D]fanta
And we'll [F]all come [C]praise the [D]infanta

[Verse 2]
[D]Among five score pachyderm
Each canopied and passengered
Sit the [Eb]duke and the
duchess' luscious [D]young girls
Within sight of the baronness
Seething spite for this live largesse
By her [Eb]side sits the baron her
barrenness [D]barbs her
And we'll [F]all come [C]praise the [D]infanta
And we'll [F]all come [C]praise the infanta

[G][Bb][Ab][Eb]
phalanx on camelback
Thirty ranks on a forward tack
Followed [E]close,
their shiny bright standards a-waving
[Eb]While While behind in their coach, in fours
Ride the wives of the king of Moors
And the [E]veiled young virgin,
the prince's be[Eb]trothed
And we'll [Gb]all come
[Db]praise the in[Eb]fanta
And we'll [Gb]all come p[Db]raise
the infanta

[Verse 4]
[D]
And as she sits [Eb]upon her place
[D]Her innocence laid on her[Eb] face
[Ab]From all atop the parapets blow
[Eb]a multitude of [Ab]coronets
Melodies rhapsodical and [Eb]fair[Ab]
And all our hearts afire [Eb]the sky
ablaze with cannon fire
[D]We all raise our voices to the [Eb]air
To the air
[D]

[Verse 5]
And above all this folderol
On a bed made of chaparral
She is [Eb]laid, a coronal placed on her [D]brow
And the babe, all in slumber dreams
Of a place filled with quiet streams
And the [Eb]lake where her cradle
was pulled from the [D]water
And we'll [F]all come [C]praise the in[D]fanta
And [Dm]we'll [F]all come [C]praise the in[D]fanta
And we'll [F]all come [C]praise the infanta
[D]
