Lana Del Rey - Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he's deep-sea fishing: chords

                                        D#
Three white butterflies to know you're near

D#
I know they think that it took somebody else
           A#m
To make me beautiful, beautiful
     G#
As they intended me to be
             D#
But they're wrong
D#
I know they think that it took thousands of people
            A#m
To put me together again like an experiment
     G#
Some big men behind the scenes
                                         D#
Sewing Frankenstein black dreams into my songs
             D#
But they're wrong

Chorus:
C#                                G#
God, if you're near me, send me three white
butterflies
      D#
Or an owl to know know you're listening, sitting
while I'm drinking
  C#                               G#
Grandfather, please stand on the shoulders of
my father
            D#
While he's deep-sea fishing for sharks in the
Pacific

           C#
'Cause I'm good in spirit, warm-bodied
   G#                            D#
A fallible deity wrapped up in white (Oh-oh)
     C#
I'm folk, I'm jazz, I'm blue, I'm green
   G#                 D#
Regrettably, also a white woman (Oh-oh)
          C#                    G#
But I have good intentions even if I'm one of
         D#
the last ones
               C#                          G#
If you don't believe me, my poetry, or my melodies
                 D#
Feel it in your bones
      C#                     G#
I have good intentions, even if I'm one of
         D#
the last ones
    C#              G#           D#
(Ah-ah-ah, yeah, ah-ah-ah, yeah, ah-ah-ah, yeah, mm)

Chorus:
Grandfather, please stand on the shoulders
of my father
While he's deep-sea fishing for all the
things he's wishing

God, if you're near me, send me three
white butterflies
Or a map to know your vision, impart on
me Your wisdom

It took somebody else to make me beautiful,
wonderful
As they intended me to be
But they're wrong
Three white butterflies to know you're near
