Mother Of Pearl Chords by Roxy Music

_ [A] _ [Em] Turn the lights down, _ turn up the music.
_ _ [E]
All the gang's here, [Em] _ _ _ it's [A] Christmas.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ [Em] Get _ the picture. _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ [Em] _ _
Walk the tightrope, _ _ stretch and ride the bike line.
What you'll never do, take the [Dm] power and [A] everyone follows. _ _
_ [E] _ [Em] _ Have you a future?
No, [E] no, no, [B] no.
_ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [Em] No, no, _ _ no, no, no, no, _ _ _ no.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [A] _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ [D] _ _ Well _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] I've been up all night.
[A] Yeah?
Party time wasting [E] is too much fun.
_ Then [D] I step back thinking [A] of life's inner meaning and [E] my latest fling.
_ It's [D] the same old story, [A] all love and glory, [E] it's a pantomime.
_ _ _ _ [D] If you're looking for love [A] in a looking-ass world, it's pretty [E] hard to find.
_ _ _ [D] Oh, mother of pearl, [A] I wouldn't trade you [E] for another girl.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Divine intervention, [A] always my intention, so I [E]
take my time.
_ [D] I've been looking for something [A] I've always wanted [E] but was never mine.
_ _ _ But [D] now I've seen that something [A] just out of reach, glowing very [E]
holy grail.
_ _ [D] Oh, mother of pearl, _ [A] lustrous lady of a [E]
sacred world.
_ _ _ [D] Thus, even Zarathustra, [A] another time loser, [E] could believe in you.
_ _ With [D] every goddess let down, [A] every idol a bring down, [E] it gets you down.
_ _ [D] But the search for perfection, [A] your own predilection, [E] goes on and on and on and on.
[D] Canadian club love, [A] a place in the country [E] _
everyone's ideal.
_ _ But [D] you are my favorite, and [Am] a place in your heart, dear, [E] makes me feel more real.
_ _ [D] Oh, mother of pearl, [A] I wouldn't change you [E] for the whole world.
_ _ _ [D] Your high brow, holy, [A] with lots of soul melancholy [E] _
shimmering.
_ _ _ _ [D] _
Serpentine sleekness [A] was always my weakness, [E] like a simple tune.
_ But [D] no dilettante, _ [A] filigree fancy beats [E] the plastic hue.
_ _ _ [D] Korea girl cover [A] exposed and another slips right [E] into view.
_ _ _ _ [D] Oh, looking for love in [A] a looking-glass world, it's [E] pretty hard for you.
_ _ Fuse, [D] grow awake, kisses, the [A] boomerang misses spin [E] round and _ round.
[D] Fall on bed, the bed quilted, [A] faced with silks all pleased up, [E] idled down.
_ Take [D] refuge in pleasure, [A] just give me your future, [E] we'll forget your past.
_ _ [D] Oh, mother of pearl, [A] submarine lover [E] in a shrinking world. _
_ _ [D] Oh, lonely dreamer, your [A] choker provokes a picture [E] of cameo. _ _
_ [D] Oh, mother of pearl, [A] so, so semi-precious [E] in your detached world. _
_ [D] Oh, mother of pearl, [A] I wouldn't change you for [E] another girl. _ _ _ _
[D] Oh, mother of pearl, [A] I wouldn't change you [E] for another girl. _ _ _ _
[D] Oh, mother of pearl, [A] I wouldn't change you [E] for another girl. _ _ _ _
[D] Oh mother of Paul, I wouldn't trade you for another girl.
