Mardi Gras Beads

     A                                 A
Your mind sings some lyrics like we're memory
     A7                           F#m
Your sad our goodbyes sound nostalgy
     E                           E6
Your chords swung me from idolatry
     D7                        D7
I'm living like a vagabond, I just can't decide
A                   A
When to leave
         A                                    A
But it's roots are in the river to my mood it swings
   A7                       F#m
A vow even is impossible to keep
      E                              E6
Every day is starting on the balance beam
D7                             D7
Still you're standing with me, always carrying
A
The melody
G                      G
Smiling all the while, the paint chips off
      G     D    A
Of my Mardi Gras beads

         A                        A
It's the images contained not the lens or frames
  A7                               F#m
Recalled to my mind before I fall asleep
  E                              E6
A list of regrets is no place to be
    D7                      D7
I'm coming in late but I'll never modulate us
A                 A
To a minor key
G                      G
Smiling all the while, the paint chips off
      G     D    A
Of my Mardi Gras beads
