(G major) Thank you very much. (E major)
(C major) Welcome to (G major) (E major) (C sharpdim) The (C major) New Morning.
(G major) (E major) (A minor) (D major) (A major) (D major) (Cdim) (A flat major)
(G major) Want to (D major) buy some il (G major) lusions
Slightly (E minor) (B minor) used,
(E major) (A major) (A minor) second hand (A flataug)
(A flat major) They (G major) were (D major) lovely illu (G major) sions,
(D major) (E minor) (B minor) reaching high, (E major) (Bdim) built on (E major) sand
(A minor) They had (G major) a touch (C major) of (G major) paradise,
(E minor) (B flatdim) a (A major) spell you (Daug) can't ex (E minor) plain
For (F sharp major) (B major) (E minor) in this crazy paradise
You (A major) are in love with (D major) pain (E flatdim) (B major)
(G major) Want to (D major) buy some (G major) il lusions
(D major) Slightly (E minor) (B minor) (E major) used, (A minor) just like (D major) new
(A flat major) Such (G major) romantic illusions,
and they're all (Gdim) about (C major) you
(A minor) Too bad (C major) they all (F sharpdim) fell apart,
(B major) like (E minor) dreams often (B major) do (A major)
They (G major) were (D major) lovely (B minor) illusion (E minor) s,
but they (A minor) just would (E flatdim) (D major) n't come
(G major) true. (D major) (G major) (A flataug) (G major)
(B minor) Slightly (E major) used, (A major) (A minor) just (A flat major) like new,
(G major) such romantic illusions,
And they're all about (C major) you (E major)
(A minor) I'd (C major) sell them all (F sharpdim) for (B major) a penny
They (E minor) make pretty souven (A major) irs
Take (G major) my (B minor) lovely il (E minor) lusions
Some (A major) for laugh (A minor) s (Cdim)
(C minor) Some (A minor) for (B major) tears (G major) (E minor) (C major)
(C minor) (E minor) (A minor) (Daug) (G major)
This next song,
I'm using the translation,
a new translation done by one of my best,
best friends in Ireland,
the playwright and poet Frank McGuinness
and he did a new translation
of the Threatening Opera
about four or five years ago and
I played Pirate Jenny
in that production
at the Gate Theatre in Dublin
and I love this translation
I think it's so exceptional.
In this song Jenny who is
a prostitute
and a waitress
in a shitty hotel,
obviously on the docks,
and Mac Heath is her pimp,
is imagining,
is having a fantasy
of what she would do
to those who oppress her if she could.
