Capo 2
Intro:
[C] [F] [C] [F] [Am]
Verse 1:
[Am] From candles burning, sh[E]adows in the night,
[Am] People praying f[E]or eternal life,
But my m[Dm]ind just keeps on wandering,
Aw[Em]ay from this serene and hallowed pl[F]ace,
To a w[C]oman's f[G]ace.
Verse 2:
[Am] She was lovely, l[E]ovely as a dream,
[Am] She had the beauty, the b[E]eauty of a queen,
They say that [Dm]every man who meets her,
s[Em]ooner or later will f[F]all,
Even m[C]e that they c[G]all.
Chorus:
The m[C]aster of invention, the p[Am]ainter of our times,
I can t[Dm]ake you round the Heavens and sh[G]ow you how to fl[G7]y,
'Twas a m[C]oment caught forever, there was s[Am]omething in her eyes,
But I w[Dm]ish I could remember why M[G]ona Lisa sm[C]iled.[F] [C] [F]
Verse 3:
[Am] She sat before me, this w[E]oman so divine,
[Am] Something eternal was sh[E]ining in her eyes,
Oh, L[Dm]isa del Giocondo,
you [Em]opened up a world of myster[F]y,
When you were l[G]ooking at m[G7]e.
Chorus:
The m[C]aster of invention, the p[Am]ainter of our times,
I can t[Dm]ake you round the Heavens and sh[G]ow you how to fl[G7]y,
'Twas a m[C]oment caught forever, there was s[Am]omething in her eyes,
But I w[Dm]ish I could remember why M[G]ona Lisa sm[Am]iled.
Bridge:
[Am] Shame the devil in my h[F]eart but I c[Dm]an't stop thinking ab[G]out her,
And wh[Dm]at she's doing to m[G]e, doing to m[C]e.
Chorus:
[Am] [Dm] [G] [G7]
'Twas a m[C]oment of perfection, the c[Am]anvas never lies,
But I w[Dm]ish I could remember why M[G]ona Lisa sm[C]iled.[F]
Why Mona Lisa sm[C]iled?[F]
Why Mona Lisa sm[C]iled?[F]
Why Mona Lisa sm[C]iled?
