Oh Helen

F Oh, Helen Bb They've told me about you Bb Gm F Made it out like I'd like to be like you. Gm Said, "She had the face Bb F that launched a thousand ships". Bb I do not seek this F Nor do I wish it. C I doubt you did, F either. F Oh, Helen, Bb They've told me about you. Gm Bb F They write what they have grown too shy to speak. Bb Write, "she was a young thing..." F Write, "golden and shining..." Gm Wrote like a trophy, Dm Oh, Helen... C F You never sailed a single ship. Bb C There is no power F Dm Bb In this supposed control (she had the face) Bb C And yet, you're blamed F Dm Bb For all the pain that they sowed (a thousand ships) Bb C A single phrase, F Dm That weight you never could throw. Gm Bb Yet, every warrior acts like he's owed, doesn't he, F Helen? Bb They've told me about you. Gm Oh, Helen! Bb F I do not think they think. Bb Your heart is not forgot... F Your hand, no longer sought. Gm Oh, Helen, C F Dm I'm sure you'd sail a steady ship, oh, Helen! C F I'm sure you'd sail... a steady ship.
