REQUEST COVER: French Navy by Camera Obscura

Hi! This is another request cover. I'm trying to really attack the list since it's growing out of control. Never heard of this song or the artists before I got the request to cover it, but I actually like their style! This version, not as retro funk as the original, but hope it's ok. :)

FRENCH NAVY by Camera Obscura

D Em Em D
Spent a week in a dusty library D Em
Waiting for some words to jump at me Em D
We met by a trick of fate G
French navy my sailor mate D
We met by the moon at the silvery lake G
You came my way D
I said, "I want you to stay"

Em
You with your dietary restrictions
D
Said you loved me with a lot of conviction
Em
I was waiting to be struck by lightning
D G
Waiting for somebody exciting like you D
Oh the thing that you do G
You make me go woo D
With the things that you do you do you do Em
I wanted to control it G
But love I couldn't hold it Em
I wanted to control it G A
But love I couldn't hold it

Em
I'll be criticized for lending out my art
D
I was criticized for letting you break my heart
Em
Why wouldn't I stand for disappointed looks?
D G D
I'm fully grown but I'm on tenterhooks with the looks G D
On tenterhooks, ooh, with the looks the looks the looks Em
I wanted to control it G
But love I couldn't hold it Em
I wanted to control it G A
But love I couldn't hold it

Em - D (repeat)

Em Em D
Relationships were something I used to do D Em
Convince me they are better for me and you Em D
We met by a trick of fate




French navy my sailor mate


[chorus] Em
I wanted to control it G
But love I couldn't hold it Em
I wanted to control it G
But love I couldn't hold it Em
I wanted to control it G
But love I couldn't hold it Em
I wanted to control it G A
But love I couldn't hold it

Em D (repeat and fade)
