Whenever  I explore the land  of Yin,
 I always  take one on  the chin.
 And now  this lioness has almost  made me tame.
 I can?t  pronounce her name but eggplant  is her game.
The  lady sticks to me like white  on rice.
 She never  cooks the same  thing twice.
Maybe  it?s the mushrooms, maybe  the tomatoes.
 I can?t  reveal her name but eggplant  is her game.
When  my baby cooks her eggplant,  she don?t read no book.
She?s  got a Gioconda  kind of dirty  look.
And  my baby cooks her eggplant
?bout  nineteen different ways,
But  sometimes I just have  it raw with mayonnaise.
Maybe  it?s the way she grates  her cheese,
 Or just  the freckles on  her knees.
Maybe  it?s the scallions, maybe  she?s Italian.
 I can?t  reveal her name but eggplant  is her game.

Readable chord sheet for Eggplant by Michael Franks

[Cmaj9]    [Gm7]      [Cmaj9]   [Gm7]

[Cmaj7]Whenever I explore the [Gm7]land of Yin,
I [Fmaj7]always take one [Fm7]on the chi[Bb9]n.
And [Cmaj7]now this lioness has [Gm7]almost made me [Am7]tame.
I [Fmaj7]can?t pronounce her name but [Fm7]eggplant[G] is her game.
[Cmaj9]    [Gm7]      [Cmaj9]   [Gm7]

[Cmaj7]The lady sticks to me like [Gm7]white on rice.
She [Fmaj7]never cooks the [Fm7]same thing twi[Bb9]ce.
[Cmaj7]Maybe it?s the mushrooms, [Gm7]maybe the to[Am7]matoes.
I [Fmaj7]can?t reveal her name but [Fm7]eggplant[G] is her game.
[Cmaj9]    [Gm7]      [Cmaj9]   [Gm7]

[Cmaj7]When my baby cooks her egg[Gm11]plant,[Cmaj7] she don?t read no [Gm11]book.
[Cmaj7]She?s got a Gi[Gm11]oconda kind of [Am7]dirty look.
[Cmaj7]And my baby cooks her egg[Gm11]plant
[Cmaj7]?bout nineteen different [Gm11]ways,
[Cmaj7]But sometimes I just [Gm11]have it raw with may[Am7]onnaise.

[Cmaj7]Maybe it?s the way she [Gm7]grates her cheese,
Or [Fmaj7]just the freckles [Fm7]on her kn[Bb9]ees.
[Cmaj7]Maybe it?s the scallions, [Gm7]maybe she?s I[Am7]talian.
I [Fmaj7]can?t reveal her name but [Fm7]eggplant[G] is her game.
[Cmaj9]    [Gm7]      [Cmaj9]   [Gm7]
