      Em  - D    Em    A           Em - D        Em          A

1. She        is benediction, she        is addicted to he,

       Em - D           Em         A                 Em  - D           Em               A

    she         is the root connection and she         is connecting with he.

 

Em            D           Em               D  - Em       D       Em          D

     Here I go and I don't know why          I spin so ceaselessly,

Em            D         Em      D     Em    - D - Em - D

    could it be he's taking over me ?

G                       A              C                  D

    I'm dancing barefoot, headed for a spin,

 Em                              A

some strange music drags me in,

    C                           D                 Em

makes me come on like some heroine.

 

+  Em - D - Em - A (4x) 

 

       Em  - D     Em     A          Em - D          Em                 A

2. She          is sublimation, she         is the essence of thee,

       Em  - D     Em        A           Em - D                Em           A

    she          is concentrating on he        who is chosen by she.

+  instrumental = CHORUS

 

       Em  - D     Em  A          Em - D          Em            A

3. She         is recreation, she         intoxicated by thee,

       Em  - D              Em         A             Em - D          Em              A

    she         has the slow sensation that he        is levitating with she.

 

Em           D           Em               D  - Em       D       Em         D

    Here I go and I don't know why          I spin so ceaselessly,

Em        D          Em            D   Em - D - Em - D

    Did I lose my sense of gravity

G                       A              C                  D

    I'm dancing barefoot, headed for a spin,

Em                                A

some strange music drags me in,

    C                           D                 Em

makes me come on like some heroine.

 

+  Em - D - Em - D (2x) 

 

   Em           D       C          D

+        Oh, God, I fell for You !(in the background now)

 

+  (spoken : )The plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face,

    the mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself.

    Grave visitations, what is it that calls to us ?

    Why must we pray screaming ?

     Why must not death be redefined ?

    We shut our eyes, we stretch out our arms

    and whirl on a pane of glass,

    an afixiation, a fix on anything.

    The line of life, the limb of a tree,

    The hands of he and the promise that she is blessed among women.

 

   Em          D      C          D

+       Oh God, I fell for You ! (2x) …

 

    (Patti Smith)
