She Wears Red Feathers Chords

[Verse 1]
 
  D                                    A
I work in a London bank, respectable position
                        D
From nine to three they serve you tea
     E7             A
But ruin your disposition
     G                     D             Em
Each night of music calls, travalouges I see
    D                                  A                D
And once a pearl of a native girl came smilin' right at me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    D                                    Em
She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt
                             D
She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt
    G             D
She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea
  F#m                 Bm
A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes
    A                     D
And love in her heart for me
 
F#m Bm A D
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    D                                       A
Goodbye to the London bank, I started out a-sailin'
                        D          E7                 A
The fourteenth day from Mandalay I spied her from the railin'
    G                     D               Em
She knew I was on my way, waited, and was true
    D                                    A                     D
She said "You son of an Englishman, I've dreamed each night of you"
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    D                                    Em
She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt
                             D
She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt
    G             D
She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea
  F#m                 Bm
A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes
    A                     D
And love in her heart for me
 
F#m Bm A D
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
  D                                          A
I went to her Ma and Pa and said I loved her only
                      D                 E7         A
And they both said we could be wed, oh, what a ceremony
   G                        D                Em
An elephant brought her in, placed her by my side
      D                                A                      D
While six baboons got out bassoons and played "Here Comes the Bride"

[Verse 4]
 
    D#                                                A#
I'm back here in London town and, though it may sound silly
                       D#                F7            A#
She's here with me and you should see us walk down Picadilly
    G#                      D#               Fm
The boys at the London bank kinda hold their breath
    D#                                  A#              D
She sits with me and sips her tea which tickles them to death
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    D#                                   Fm
She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt
                             D#
She wears red feathers and a hooly-hooly skirt
    G#            D#
She lives on just cokey-nuts and fish from the sea
  Gm                  Cm
A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes
    G#          A#        D# Cm A# D#
And love in her heart for me
