Chords for Stephen Fearing - Lace And Pretty Flowers

If you were playing the folk circuit and the coffeehouse circuit,
but you didn't necessarily embrace it wholeheartedly, shall we say,
or if you had authority issues, then Willie was the guy
whose music he wanted to be playing.
He was sort of the anti-Stan Rogers in a way.
_ Do you guys mind if I play a couple of Willie P.
Bennett songs?
You guys know Willie P.
Bennett's music, yeah?
Some of you do, maybe some of you don't.
This'll be a little primer for you. Yeah. _ _ _
_ _ Perhaps the greatest love song written?
Willie wrote this apparently when he was working in an undergarment factory.
_ _ The title is Lace and Pretty Flowers. _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
If you [B] got lace and pretty flowers _
to give your baby
get her [F#] under your power
If [B] you got silks and sweet perfumes
you know she might come
she might come up to your [F#] room _
but if you got [E] love and a deep [B] devotion
[E] it gets just as [B] deep as the ocean
[E] with just you two [F#] inside
with [C#] _ _ [E] just you two [B] inside
[E] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ If you got satins, _ lots of money
[E] _ [B] diamond rings and [E] such things
to [F#] trap your honey
If you got [B] big black cars
[E] you want [B] to let her ride
[E] give it [F#] all to her
If you got a house and a room
[E] she might come over [F#] to your side
but if [E] she's got soul
she knows she's gonna [B] bowl you over
[E] and when my baby [B] rolls me over
[E] I feel like [F#] I wanna fly
_ [E] Yes I feel like I [B] wanna fly
[E] _ _ [B] _ _

[E] _ [B] _ _ [E] _ If you got a [B] house, _
[B] a mansion in the country
[E] you give it all to her
[E] but she could still [F#] be empty
_ You could be [B] the richest [E] man in [B] the world
[E] There's nothing [B] I know of
[E] that'll buy you the [F#] heart of a girl
But if you [E] got love and a [B] deep devotion
it gets just as deep as the ocean
with just you [F#] two inside
