Verse 1 chords:
C        Am            Em          F                C
   Cindy writes a paragraph, says time is passing
        Am             Em        F            C
But the bubbles in her heart are everlasting
         Am               Em       F                   
Yeah she gave her life to art, and who could blame her
                  G
It’s pretty major
                         Am   Em   F
Fraught with danger and stuff like that

Chorus Chords: 
Dm                    G
   Oh Mighty engine,     of good intention
       C       G          F
You’re purring   softly beside me
[Fill 1]
C         G          F
Grinding    gently inside me
[Fill 1]                          [Fill 2]
C       G          F              (C  G) x2     
Tapping    totally madly...for you

Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords)
Says the plot is getting strange, it’s taken over
And the hero’s run away, and no one told her
But she can’t control the page
It’s taken over
There’s people dying, semi colons crying
And full stops finding fault...O what a dolt

Chorus: 
Oh Mighty engine,     of good intention
You’re purring   softly beside me
Grinding    gently inside me
Tapping    totally madly...for you

Chorus: 
Oh Mighty engine,     of good intention
You’re purring   softly beside me
Grinding    gently inside me
Tapping    totally madly...for you


Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords)
Cindy writes of kerosene and broken bottles
Says the troubles were a part of someone’s childhood
But she can’t get past the point where someone’s dying
It’s pretty minor
A pithy liner should sort it out
But he won’t die
he just mucks about, oh it’s so hard

Verse 4: (use verse 1 chords)
Now we’ve broken out the gin, it helps her thinking
And given into sin, we’re breathing deeply
But something’s on her mind
A chapter stirring, her mind is whirling
And off she trots
To tap her keys to the top, oh she’s off

Chorus:
Oh Mighty engine,     of good intention
You’re purring   softly beside me
Grinding    gently inside me
Tapping    totally madly...for you
