This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

bouquet for a siren - seBADoh

by Eric Gafney

============================

Here's one of my favorites from Erik.

NOTE: I only tabbed out the faster part of this song,

if anyone finds the patience to tab the rest I'd love a

copy. Also, don't flame me for incorrect lyrics,

however helpful comments and corrections are welcome

and invited.

LYRICS: (or close to them)

Enlighten my lives(?)

Close my eyes

Valiant, Like a god I fly

Merry go round, wind and speed

Working only for a luxury

Married to failure

Don't buy grief

I'm frightened (on an awful cheek)/(on and off ???????)

Since when, again,

I care I swear

I don't intend to be mean

siren glides from surf to cliff

Endearing language (is) provocative

I'm here to say what's done is done

Serving shark fin soup for everyone

Beautiful women in the world to see

I'm a born romantic E A G (thorn romantic)?

Gotta right to find the American dream

and so what

Stranded here high and dry

???????????? on which I lie

Born to win(?)

Have to wait And see

on a stepping stone with dust and roses at its feet(?)

Feeling a weak as a circus freak

I've got to relocate, I wanna sail the seas

Should of never have kissed

Should of never have played

Pardon me I had a place to stay

Repeat first Verse and chorus
