LADY ELEANOR
(Alan Hull – as recorded by Lindisfarne, 1970)

Em                             Bm
  Bashee-playing magician sitting lotus on the floor
  Em                            Bm
  Belly-dancing beauty with her power-driven saw
  Em                                 Bm
  Had my share of nightmares, didn't think it could be much more
       G                  A              Bm
  When in walked Roderick Usher with the Lady Eleanor.

She tied my eyes with a ribbon of a silken ghostly thread,
I gazed with troubled vision on an old four-poster bed
Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head
And bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead,

CHORUS:

G    A               Bm
  But it's al - right, Lady Eleanor,
  G    A               Bm
  Al - right, Lady Eleanor,
  G     A             E   Esus4  E  Esus4
  I'm alright where I am.

She gazed with a loving beauty, like a mother to a son,
Like a living, dying, seeing being, and all rolled into one,
Then all at once I heard some music playing in my bones,
The same old song I'd heard for years, reminding me of home. CHORUS

Then creeping on towards me licking lips with tongues of fire
A host of golden demons screaming "Lust!" and "Base desire!"
And when it seemed for certain that their screams could get no higher
I heard a voice above the rest, screaming "You're a liar!"

But it's alright, Lady Eleanor,
Alright, Lady Eleanor,

G     A                  Em     Bm    Em    Bm
  I'm alright here in your arms....
