The Clarietta Rag

D/F#: 2x0232
Am/E: 002210

(Play the C# chords in the chorus on the last beat of the second bar of
 D as a quick transition - you might
want to just barre the D-C#-C rather than playing the C and D as open.)


[Verse 1]
G                  D/F#
Have you seen Miss Clarietta
F               Am/E
Riding round on her lambretta
C              D
On the mountainside


[Verse 2]
G                D/F#
Looking out for friendly faces
F              Am/E
Peering out of mountain places
C             D
Waiting for a ride


[Verse 3]
G         D/F#
She's the queen of
F        Am/E
mountain magic,
C           D
  everybody knows


[Verse 4]
G           D/F#
And late at night she
F          Am/E
sings with gentleness

C               D     C#
  Becoming to a rose


[Chorus]
C      D          G         F/C     C
Please send her a great big shining star
                       D     C#
To show her where you are
C      D            G           F/C     C
Please give her the love you've stored away
                 D
And cannot use today


[Verse 5]
G                      D/F#
If you meet her in the moonlight
F                Am/E
Don't be shy and don't be uptight
C           D
  She might disappear


[Verse 6]
G                 D/F#
If she thinks you want to get her
F                Am/E
Stop her, riding her lambretta
C                  D
She won't let you near


[Verse 7]
G         D/F#
She's the queen of
F        Am/E
mountain flowers
C                   D
  You can love them too


[Verse 8]
G          D/F#
But if you pick her
F      Am/E
lovely flowers

C                     D     C#
How can they grow for you


[Chorus]
C      D          G         F/C     C
Please send her a great big shining star
                       D     C#
To show her where you are
C      D            G           F/C     C
Please give her the love you've stored away
                 D
And cannot use today ...(Spoken) Two, three, four


[Solo]
(Spoken) I like it!
[Solo continues]
