"Mrs. Bertolozzi" By Kate Bush From "Aerial" (2005) Intro: / / / / / / / / I remember it was that Wednesday Oh when it rained and it rained They traipsed mud all over the house It took hours and hours to scrub it out All over the hall carpet I took my mop and bucket And I cleaned and I cleaned Bbadd9 The kitchen floor Until it sparkled / Then I took my laundry basket Put the linen all in it And everything I could fit in it And all our dirty clothes that hadn’t gone into the wash And all your shirts and jeans and things And put them in the new washing machine Eb9#11 Washing machine Washing machine / / / / I watched them go ’round and ’round My blouse wrapping itself around your trousers Oh and the waves are going out My skirt floating up around my waist As I wade out into the surf Oh and the waves are coming in Oh and the waves are going out Oh and you’re standing right behind me Little fish swim between my legs Oh and the waves are coming in Oh and the waves are going out Oh and the waves are coming in Out of the corner of my eye I think I see you standing outside But it’s just your shirt Hanging on the washing line Waving its arm as the wind blows by And it looks so alive Nice and white Just like its climbed right out C9sus4 Dm11 Of my washing machine Eb9#11 Washing machine Washing machine Slooshy sloshy slooshy sloshy Get that dirty shirty clean Eb Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4 Slooshy sloshy slooshy sloshy Make those cuffs and collars gleam Everything clean and shiny Washing machine Eb9#11 Washing machine Washing machine
