Brandy -- Looking Glass CAPO II
NOTES: This song is presented as "capo II" to play along with the MP3 file.
And, while we're on the subject, rhythm is not tabbed in this song, so
you must listen to the MP3 to get the feel. I've been very surprised to
still get requests for this song. The crowds seem to go for it. Enjoy!

VERSE 1
D F#m Em Bm Em G C/G G
There's a port, on a western bay, and it serves, a hun-dred ships a day
D F#m Em Bm Em G D
Lonely sai-lors, pass the time a-way, and talk about their homes
D F#m Em Bm Em G C/G G
And there's a girl, in this harbor town, and she works, layin' whiskey down
D F#m Em Bm Em G D
They say Brandy, fetch a-nother round, she serves them whiskey and wine
CHORUS
Bm7 G Bm7 G
The sailors say Brandy, you're a fine girl, what a good wife you would be

Your eyes could steal a sailor, from the sea

VERSE 2
D F#m Em Bm Em G C/G G
Brandy, wears a braided chain, made of the finest silver from the north of Spain
D F#m Em Bm Em G D
A lock-et, that bears the name, of a man that Brandy loved
D F#m Em Bm Em G C/G G
He came, on a summer's day, bringin' gifts, from far a-way
D F#m Em Bm Em G D
But he made it clear, he couldn't stay, no har-bor was his home

The sailor said Brandy, you're a fine girl, what a good wife you would be

But my life, my love and my lady is the sea

Yea Brandy used to watch his eyes when he told his sailor's story
Bm7 A G A
She could feel the ocean fall and rise she saw its ragin' glory
Bm7 C/G Bm7 G
But he had always told the truth, Lord, he was an honest man
A4-6 A G D Bm7 A
And Brandy does her best to under-stand
VERSE 3
At night, when the bars close down, Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man, who's not around, she still can hear him say
CHORUS
She hears him say Brandy, you've a fine girl (you're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be, but my life, my love and my lady is the sea
