[Verse 1]
C G
Girl sleeping on a mansion roof
C G
Under a wintery sky
D/F# C
Wrapped she is in her furs and sable
G
Starlight in her eye
[Verse 2]
C G
And what is the name of this creature?
C G
Where did she live and when?
D/F#
Who was she and why was it
C G C G C G
That Peter Lake - loved - Beverly Penn?
[Verse 3]
C G
Four o'clock in a marble morning
C G
Water pouring on her skin
D/F# C
In fever, her life bursts open
G
And a hurricane blows in
[Verse 4]
C G
When high from the dreams of this creature
C G
A thief on a horse descends
D/F#
It was dawn and it was December
C G
And Peter Lake - loved - Beverly Penn
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
C G
It was all of a windy day
C G
And the sky was full of crows
D/F# C
When her lovely soul ascended
G
She just closed her heart and rose
[Verse 6]
C G
And whither the soul of this creature?
C G
Tell me the story again
D/F#
Of scarves and songs and the skin of space
C G
And how Peter Lake - loved - Beverly Penn
[Instrumental]
G C G C G D/F# C G
[Verse 7]
C G
I would dive in a freezing river
C G
Set fire to a hundred men
D/F#
If I could, for just one time
C G C G C G
Love somebody the way that he loved Beverly Penn
