date: 95/10/15
E (022100@1) E7The (020130@1)morning sun touched gently on
A (x02220@1) Ethe (022100@1)eyes of Lucy Jordan
in a white suburban bedroom
B (x2444x@1) B7in (x21202@1)a white suburban town.
E (022100@1) E7As (020130@1)she lay there 'neath the covers
A (x02220@1) Edreaming (022100@1)of a thousand lovers
B (x2444x@1) B7till (x21202@1)the world turned to orange
E (022100@1) E7and (020130@1)the room went spinning round.
AAt (x02220@1)the age of thirty-seven
Eshe (022100@1)realized she'd never ride
through Paris in a sports car
Bwith (x2444x@1)the worm wind in her hair.
E (022100@1) E7So (020130@1)she let the phone keep ringing
A (x02220@1) Eas (022100@1)she sat there softly singing
Bthe (x2444x@1)nursery rhymes she'd memorize
A (x02220@1) Ein (022100@1)her daddy's easy chair.
E7Her (020130@1)husband is off to work
A (x02220@1) Eand (022100@1)the kids are off to school
and there were oh so many ways
B (x2444x@1) B7for (x21202@1)her to spend a day.
E (022100@1) E7She (020130@1)could clean the house for hours
A (x02220@1) Eor (022100@1)re-arrange the flowers
Bor (x2444x@1)make it through the shady stream
Escreaming (022100@1)all the way.
AAt (x02220@1)the age of thirty-seven
Eshe (022100@1)realized she'd never ride
through Paris in a sports car
Bwith (x2444x@1)the worm wind in her hair.
E (022100@1) E7So (020130@1)she let the phone keep ringing
A (x02220@1) Eas (022100@1)she sat there softly singing
Bthe (x2444x@1)nursery rhymes she'd memorize
A (x02220@1) Ein (022100@1)her daddy's easy chair.
E7The (020130@1)evening sun touched gently on
A (x02220@1) Ethe (022100@1)eyes of Lucy Jordan
on the roof top where she climbed
B (x2444x@1) B7when (x21202@1)all the laughter grew too loud.
E (022100@1) E7And (020130@1)she bowed and cursed to the man (?)
A (x02220@1) Ewho (022100@1)reached out ... off to her his hands (?)
Band (x2444x@1)led her down to a long white car (?)
E (022100@1) E7that (020130@1)waited, past the crowd.
AAt (x02220@1)the age of thirty-seven
Eshe (022100@1)knew that she'd found heaven
as she rode along through Paris
Bwith (x2444x@1)the worm wind in her hair.
