I've Had Her
Phil Ochs

G C G C G

The night air is inviting you to walk out on the trail

Em

You will not fail

Am D

You will not fail

G C G C G

And by the beach a lady sails a ship without a sail

Em

And you reach out for her

Am D

And you reach out for her

C D

But, I've had her

C D

I've had her

G

She's nothing


Down the cliffs you clamber and you tumble to the shore

The warm waves roar

The warm waves roar

And on the reef a mermaid siren screams one perfume more

And she shouts to you

Through the foam she shouts to you

But, I've had her

I've had her

She's nothing


The players at the party are prepared to take a chance

They drop their pants

They drop their pants

In the corner, she's so crystaline no one dares to ask a dance

And she calls out to you

And she calls out to you

But, I've had her

I've had her

She's nothing


In the prison of your broken bed you dribble in a dream

And find a queen

And find a queen

But your sleep is sadly stolen by the face that is a stream

That's flowing out to you

She's flowing out to you

But, I've had her

I've had her

She's nothing


The vision of the seven veils are racing down the road

Signs are slow

The signs are slow

But beauty is the mistress and the beauty you've been told

You'd speed the route for her

You'd speed the route for her

But, I've had her

I've had her

She's nothing


The fog has changed the city to a friendly frightened fawn

The shades are drawn

The shades are drawn

To posess her misty madness you would gladly duel the dawn

And fade out to her

And fade out to her

But, I've had her

I've had her

She's nothing


The circus clown, he hides a tear beneath his pained smile

And charms a child

And charms a child

While the dancing girls and prancing horse blows kisses down the aisle

You'd roll about for her

You'd roll about for her

But, I've had her

I've had her

She's nothing


All alone, the flaming field, your fairy love is spread

Your time has fled

Your time has fled

Now the only way to touch her is the gun beside your head

Now there's now doubt for her

Now there's now doubt for her

But, I've had her

I've had her

She's nothing
