CH 10 Clay horse
|Am C|G Em|
|Am | G | Am | G | Am | G | F | D |
I'm gonna take my clay horse to the river and place it neath a tree
Gonna make my wish that you'll deliver and give yourself to me
Gonna tie some cloth around a banyan and decorate a bough
Take that thought you've failed to sanction and turn it to a vow
|Em | D | Em | D | Em | D | C | Dm G|
I'll try anything to make you want me
Any potion, philtre, prayer or magic spell
I'll try anything to make you want me
I'll get my heaven here on earth if it sends my soul to hell
Gonna find an shaman skilled who can turn your head for me
If my wishes are fulfilled then you'll get the best from me
If it takes a necromancer then his service I'll enlist
You know that I'm a chancer and I'm set on getting kissed
Gonna take a hair from your head and burn it on a pyre
Gonna write the words that you have said and add them to the fire
So you see how I'm determined and there's nothing you can do
So why not just confirm it and say you want me too
We could just stop this battle and cut right to the chase
We don't need the hassle there's no need for saving face.
I'll chant your name a thousand times in the darkness of a cave
I'll labour on a thousand rhymes to make you misbehave
