Sunshine stealing stage time

From the moon and stars above

She said leave me alone

I  said take me home

Skiff rocked like a cradle
        F#m             E   D
And the poor girl fell overboard
F#m   A
Rope wrapped around her neck

Tangled in her hair soaked wet

They dragged the stream

The body never to be found

Ooh, Madeline (Madeline, breathe) Madeline, breathe!

Bridge:
G#
The dirt in the stream
G#
The body never to be found
G#                    B
Except for footprints caked
       G#                            A
In the muddy ground beside where she lay

Beneath the waterlily sky

She said leave me alone
