French Perfume

french perfume
– great big sea
tabbed by : tapdancingjayses

Dm
it’s of a bold young smuggler
C
from fortune he did sail
C
he rode the waves from st . pierre
Dm
and never saw the jail

Dm
he filled her up with contraband
C
perfume , smokes and rum
C
he hoped the fog was thick enough
Dm
to make another run

[ chorus : ]
F
you can still see the sight
C F
on a winter’s night
C Dm
of his wake in the light of the moon
C
if the wind turns right
Dm
if you don’t take fright
F C Dm
you can smell that french perfume

Dm
but the mountie boat was waiting
C
as he crawled near mortier bay
C
and when they hit the spotlight
Dm
it was like the light of day

Dm
he didn’t bring her head round
C
when they told him to heave to
C
he opened up the engines
Dm
and he ran for spanish room

[ chorus ]

Dm
they said they heard him laughing
C
with the mounties closing in
C
his engines screaming murder
Dm
and his face set in a grin

Dm
the seagulls started lifting
C
like an angry banshee choir
C
he hit the rocks at 50 clicks
Dm
and the sky lit up with fire

Dm
it’s of of a bold young smuggler
C
from fortune he did sail
C
he rode the waves from st . pierre
Dm
and he never saw the jail

Dm
and when it’s cold and foggy
C
on the rocks near spanish room
C
they say you hear him laughing
Dm *
and you smell that french perfume

[ chorus ( 2x ) ]

enjoy!
