There She Goes, My Beautiful World Lyrics

"There She Goes, My Beautiful World"
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus
This is a pretty easy song, you just go back and forth from Cm and F during all the
verse and bridge parts.
The chorus is the only part that is different, where you play (C G Am F G).
But since I'm an*l about this kinda thing, I'll put it out clearly here.
x = don't play these strings
-Using my Cm* chord is optional, but it adds some nice, tense subtlety to the verses I
like to use it in.
-I'll put the Capo III chords at the bottom of the tab
Intro: Cm* F Cm* F
The wintergreen, the juniper
The cornflower and the chicory
All the words you said to me
Still vibrating in the air
The elm, the ash and the linden tree
The dark and deep, enchanted sea
The trembling moon and the stars unfurled
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes agaaaaaaaaain
John Willmot penned his poetry
riddled with the pox
Nabakov wrote on index cards,
at a lectem, in his socks
St. John of the Cross did his best stuff
imprisoned in a box
And JohnnyThunders was half alive
when he wrote Chinese Rocks
Well, me, I'm lying here, with nothing in my ears
Me, I'm lying here, with nothing in my ears
Me, I'm lying here, for what seems years
I'm just lying on my bed with nothing in my head
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes agaaaaaaaaain
Karl Marx squeezed his carbuncles
while writing Das Kapital
And Gaugin, he buggered off, man,
and went all tropical
While Philip Larkin, he stuck it out
in a library in Hull
And Dylan Thomas died drunk in
St. Vincent's hospital
I will lie at your feet
I will kneel at your door
I will rock you to sleep
I will roll on the floor
And I'll ask for nothing
Nothing in this life
I'll ask for nothing
Give me ever-lasting life
I just want to move the world
I just want to move the world
I just want to move the world
I just want to move
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes agaaaaaaaaain
So if you got a trumpet, get on your feet,
brother, and blow it
If you've got a field, that don't yield,
well get up now and hoe it
I look at you and you look at me and
deep in our hearts babe we know it
That you weren't much of a muse,
but then I weren't much of a poet
I will be your slave
I will peel you grapes
Up on your pedestal
With your ivory and apes
With your book of ideas
With your alchemy
O Come on, Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send it all around the world
Send it all around the world
Cause there she goes
My beautiful girl
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, there she goes
There she goes again
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes a----gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain
