Had a bit part
G
An endless reel
Am G F
It always played in slo - mo

But now it's fast

A spinning wheel

Speedy Marie
Oh, yes indeed
I said to me
And so I sing this romaunt
It's not enough
My liberty
There is a thing I want
I need, I love
[repeat chorus]
B5 C5 D5 F5
Juxtaposed in each moment's sight
B5 C5 D5 F5
Everything that I ever saw
C5 F5
And my one delight
Bb C Dm F
Nothing can strike me in such awe
Bb C Dm F
Mouth intricate shapes the voice that speaks
C F
Always it will soothe
Rarer none are the precious cheeks
Is the size of each sculpted tooth
Each lip and each eye
Wise it the tongue, wet of perfect thought
And softest neck where always do I
Lay my clumsy thoughts
She is that most lovely art
Happy are my mind and my soul
And my heart
