Black Mona Lisa

Oh [G]I am not a[A]fraid
to be a [A]lone bohemian, [Bm]
I can [G]paint a [A]portrait of my[Bm]self,
I will [G]call me a [A]black Mona [A]Lisa,
Mona [Bm]Lisa,
Come to dis[G]co - [A]ver  [Bm]
I am your [G]daughter

The sky a[A]bove me is [A]silent and [Bm]empty,
[G]  I am an [A]island,
[Bm]  A little freak of melancholy,
[G]  But these [A]hands,
They un[A]bead your rosa[Bm]ry of wisdom,
[G]  Bewitched, spell[A]bound I'm found
and re[Bm]turned from superstition,
[G]  You are my [A]martyr,
I'm a [A]vestige of revo[Bm]lution,
My [G]alma, my mater,
And [A]now I can let go
my [Bm]old addictive solutions

[A]  I used to be a connoisseur
of [G]hate, self hate, pa[A]ternal hate,
[A]Hate cum gratis,
I connected every[G] kind,
[A]  I was [A]sipping it like red [Bm]wine,
The [G]insecu[A]rity was mine,
The [A]ties that bind were my design

The [A]sun is still unkind
to [G]those like you and me,
[A]  Seekers of sanctuary,
[G]Though I'm not afraid,
I'm [A]sanctified and fortified,
Be[G]cause you sacrificed,
I can [A]call myself Mona [G]Lisa,
Mona Lisa, Mona Li[A]sa,
[Bm]Men have adored you
