Tracy Grammer - Phantom Doll
Am Dm Am Dm
Raggedy Ann came out to play
Am G C E7 Am
Kittened a thin disguise against the day
Dm Am Dm
Painted a face across the mask
F Dm E7
Victim of the looking glass
Am
Store windows are cruel
Am Dm Am Dm
Mannequin charms outshine her own
Am G C E7 Am
Running away from her reflection home
Dm Am Dm
Hanging her head behind the door
F Dm E7
Sleeping on the kitchen floor
Am
In glorious dreams
E7 C D
She walks outside her skin
Dm Am/C B7 E
Her face so fine, her waist so thin
Am E Am G/B C F C
Her voice like chimes and mandolins
E7 Am E7
Beautiful phantom doll
Am Dm Am Dm
Saturday night on Circus Street
Am G C E7 Am
Beating a long and ill-conceived retreat
Dm Am Dm
Carnival barkers bar her way
F Dm E7
She never hears a word they say
Am
In glorious dreams
E7 C D
She strolls, the boys beseech
Dm Am/C B7 E
The Venus queen of Venice Beach
Am E Am G/B C F C
So near, so e--ver out of reach
E7 Am E7

BRIDGE:
Dm Am E Am
Midnight, the struggle is over
Dm Am F#7 B7
Rise up, lily-white delicate shoulders
Em C B7 Em
Outside, the poets all know her
Am Em B7 E7
All of her children are waiting
Am Dm Am Dm
Beggars and wrecks line junkyard lanes
Am G C E7 Am
Tiffany slippers click-clack through the rain
Dm Am Dm
Rickety bones and sheer chiffon
F Dm E7
Dancing on the mayor's lawn
Am
In glorious dreams
E7 C D
They glide through gilded rooms
Dm Am/C B7 E
The drakes and gravely pale dragoons
Am E Am G/B C F C
The wasted daughters of the moon
E7 Am E7
Beautiful phantom doll
INSTRUMENTAL:
Am Dm Am Dm
Raggedy Andy wrote this song
Am G C E7 Am
Scribbled it here where oceans meet the dawn
Dm Am Dm
Scuttled away on hands and claws
F Dm E7
Cinderella sailors draw
Am
In glorious dreams
E7 C D
Sunrise, she spins her spells
Dm Am/C B7 E
On rising tides of wishing wells
Am E Am G/B C F C
On A--phrodi-te lotus shells
E7 Am
Beautiful phantom doll
