Lyrics

[Intro]
| Bm - | G - | Em - | A F# |
| Bm - | G - | Em - | A F# |

[Verse 1]
Bm                   G
  Soft glow on the city
She said,
         Em                  A                   F#
"There's no one here who can touch you right now"
Bm                              G
  Caught the last flight out at LAX
             Em            A         F#
With your oneway ticket New Yorkbound

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm              G
  Climb so high, don't make a sound
Em
  Don't you forget what goes up,
A          F#
 must come down
Bm              G               Em
  Climb so high, tell me how it feels

[Chorus]
A                    Bm              G
 Call me when you're ready to be real
           Em         A
Black Madonna, hallelujah
F#                  Bm
Makes no difference here,
                G
so let's be real
           Em              A
Black Madonna, my black flower
F#              Bm
Nowhere left to run,
                Em
nowhere left to hide
A                 Bm
You're not havin' fun,
                      Em
think that you should ride
A                   Bm              G
Call me when you're ready to be real
           Em         A  F#
Black Madonna, hallelujah

[Verse 2]
Bm                       G
  On the phone you sound shifty
             Em
You say that you're at home,
 A             F#
alone right now
Bm                                G
  But in the background there's a muffled laugh
           Em                  A       F#
As you spin  that wool and pull it down

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm              G
  Climb so high, don't hear a sound
Em                          A             F#
  Don't you forget what goes around comes around
Bm              G               Em
  Climb so high, tell me how to feel

[Chorus]
A                    Bm              G
 Call me when you're ready to be real
           Em         A
Black Madonna, hallelujah
F#                  Bm
Makes no difference here,
                G
so let's be real
           Em              A
Black Madonna, my black flower
F#              Bm
Nowhere left to run,
                Em
nowhere left to hide
A                 Bm
You're not havin' fun,
                      Em
think that you should ride
A                   Bm              G
Call me when you're ready to be real
           Em         A  F#
Black Madonna, hallelujah

Black Madonna, hallelujah
F#                  Bm
Makes no difference here,
                G
so let's be real

Black Madonna, my black flower

Nowhere left to run,
                Em
nowhere left to hide
