Em           G                 Em
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
Em        G             Em
I'm gonna open up your gate
Bm                        Em
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
     G               Em
And how she gave me life
     G              Em
And how she made it in
             G                 Em
Some velvet morning when I'm straight

Dm              Em      A
Flowers growing on the hill
Dm              Em    A
Dragonflies and daffodils
G          A
Learn from us very much
G               A
Look at us but do not touch
E
Phaedra is my name

Some velvet morning when I'm straight
I'm gonna open up your gate
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
And how she gave me life
And how she made it in
Some velvet morning when I'm straight

Flowers are the things we knew
Secrets are the things we grew
Learn from us very much
Look at us but do not touch
Phaedra is my name
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
Some velvet morning when I'm straight
