[Verse 1]
[Em]Down
at the church [B]the [D]flower girl sits,
[Em]Leg s in a c[B]enter [A]part
[Em]I made the pic[B]ture puz[D]zle fit
To [B]start your heart
[Em]Painted sister's [D]thumb beside
[Em]A word upon her saintly li[A]p
Per[Em]haps admonishing the [D]child inside
[B]Your open slip
[E]Well, I [Em]don't know where she might go
[Am]when she runs home[D] at nigh[B]t[Em]
It's for the best, I wouldn't rest
[Am]when I turned out [D]the ligh[D#dim]t[B]
[C]No little flo[B]wer girl
singing [C]in my troubled [A]dream
[Em]Just an old man's [D]puddle
in a post from a [B]magazine[E]
[Em]I have touched that face
a dozen [D]times before
An[Em]d I have let my pants ru[A]n
[Em]Lay it down while she's
on a [D]foreign shore
Under a [B]hot and foreign sun
[Em]My bare sable br[D]ushes dr[Em]ift,
the soft inside of her [A]arm
[Em]Her chin I tilt, her b[D]reasts I lift,
I [B]mean no harm
[E]I c[B]los[Em]e the [B]door[Em], she [B]is no m[Em]ore,[Am]
until the nex[D]t I find it o[B]ut
[Em]Northeastern [E]light,
[Em]push back the [E]night
[Am]Ain't it promises and [D]stories[D#dim]
[C]No little flo[B]wer girl
singing [C]in my troubled [A]dreams
[Em]Just an old man's [D]model
in a Polish drama [B]magazine[Am][E]
[Am][E][Am][E][F#][F#dim][E]
[Em]
Down at the church my [D]flower girl sits
[Em]Leg s and a center p[A]art
[Em]I'll make the picture [D]puzzle fit,
the [B]start in your heart
[Em]My golden sable br[D]ush is d[Em]ripped,
the soft inside of her [A]arm
[Em]The chin I tilt, her b[D]reasts I lift,
I [B]mean no harm, I mean no harm, I [B]mean
Yeah.
