[E]
Thank you very much and it's great to be back in Stockholm.
Woohoo.
[Abm] [E]
Or we think [G] it is.
Here's a song from, [Eb] uh, from [Gm] Stranded for you.
This [A] one's called [G] Mother of Pearl.
[Em]
Lay it down low, high as fire, low.
Let the fire go, let the city soar.
[A]
[E] Oh, oh, oh, heaven will choose.
No, no, no, [B]

[E]
Well, I've [D] been up all night.
[A] Carting my way, [E] sticking to my mind.
[D] And I slept like a victim [A] of life's enemy.
Paper, [E] my pages blank.
[D] This ain't no story.
[A] All love can throw me [E] some kind of mind.
[D] If you're looking for love, [A] in that crooked ass world,
it's [E] very hard to find.
Oh, [D] you old mother of pearl.
[A] I will trade with [E] your mother pearl.
[D]
Divine affection, [A] always my intention.
So [E] I'll take my time.
[D] I've been looking for something.
[A] I've always wanted [E] to have a good time.
But [D] now I see that something [A] just out of reach.
Loading [E] pearl, holy pearl.
[D] Oh, mother of pearl.
[A] Thus is named [E] the sacred word.
You [D] must be with Sarah.
[A] Another time goes.
[E] The deal is between you.
With [D] every goddess, let down [A] every idol.
Bring down, [E] yes, yes, you, down.
But [D] the search for affection, [A] your own predilection.
[E] So Sarah, I'm down, I'm down, I'm down [D] with Lady Love.
[A] A place in the country, [E]
everyone's ideal.
True, [D] I highly believe that.
[A] And a place in your heart, it makes [E] me feel more real.
[Em] [E] [D] Oh, mother of pearl.
[A] I will keep changing for [E] the golden one.
[D] Your eyes are holy, [A] with the looks of so many.
Your lips are [E]
shimmering.
So [D] fair, I'm sweet.
[A] With always my weakness, [E] like a simple tune.
[D] When those in the tent, they [A] feel the deep,
that seems [E] so drastic.
[D] Perky and the couple are [A] exposed,
and the others [E] are too.
[D] I'm looking for the, in [A] the movie,
that's what is [E] pretty, I'm for you.
You [D] can throw away kisses, [A] look over at missus,
[Em] sit round and round.
Oh, [D] mother of pearl, and a [A] place that's not all these
[E]
[D] I'm looking for the, in the movie,
