Verse/Chorus:

A9 ---------------- Ab9 ----------
What do you mean by -- beauty lain

G6 ------------------- Bm7 - Dbdim -
   I hope you know the conse-quences

A9 -------------------- Ab9 ----------
'Cos beauty wounds will make us strong

G6 ---------------------- Bm7 - Dbdim ---
   With truth we'll test our old defenses

Am9 -------------------- D - D6 ---
And all my friends will make amends

G6 ------------------------- Bm7 ---- Dbdim 
  They're green and grey and gold and groovy

Am9 ------------------- D --- D6 -----
And reconciled they'll shake and smile

A9 ----------- D9 --- D -- D9+ - D+
Smile at me as though they knew  me

Cmaj7 ---------- G ----------- Bm - B --- Em
  And judge this world through jaun-diced eyes

Cmaj7 ---------- G------- Bm - B - Em -
They're sold too soon and none too wise

Cmaj7 -------- G ---- Bm --- Bbm
Their big blue God is in the sky

Am9 ------------- D9 -- D -- D9+ - D+
Orchid Girl don't spend your mon---ey



(As before - Am9/D6 bit...)
    They asked me what the meek would get
    Pictured me afraid to answer
    I told them that when thought's entombed
    Then love will show it's root in Cancer
    The sweet disorder in your eye
    Has drawn me here through graves and gardens
    I'm going in you're going in here are your smokes
    Your jokes you're getting soaked I'm angry and my
    Fists are pocketed

    We'll judge this world through jaundiced eyes
    We're sold too soon and none too wise
    The big blue God is in the sky
    He takes the blame and never cries
    But Orchid Girl you'd make my day
    You'd blow their cloud of crap away
    If you would just refuse to pay
    
    
Cmaj - G -------- Bm - Am - G --
Orchid Girl you'd make my - day
