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! *Cut off this chord at "smell" for maximum effect. :)
