E      D           B   
Rene and Georgette Magritte 
           A             E    
With their dog after the war 
                  D     B 
Returned to their hotel suite 
                      A7M      
And they unlocked the door 
F#m6                E6/G#      
Easily losing their evening clothes 
     F#m/A                      B/A     
They danced by the light of the moon 
       E/G#          C#m7 
To the Penguins, the Moonglows 
    Amaj9            B9     
The Orioles, and The Five Satins 
   E       G#m7/D# C#m 
The deep forbidden  music 
E/B         A7M     
They'd been longing for 
  F#m6               B9 
Rene and Georgette Magritte 
                         E    
With their dog after the war 
  E      D           B   
Rene and Georgette Magritte 
           A             E    
With their dog after the war 
                    D           B 
Were strolling down Christopher Street 
                       A7M          
When they stopped in a men's store 
     F#m6                  E6/G#      
With all of the mannequins dressed in the style 
             F#m/A                    B/A     
That brought tears to their immigrant eyes 
              E/G#          C#m7 
Just like The Penguins, the Moonglows 
    Amaj9            B9     
The Orioles, and The Five Satins 
    E    G#m7/D#  C#m 
The easy stream of laughter 
E/B         A7M     
    Flowing through the air 
  F#m6               B9 
Rene and Georgette Magritte 
                        E          
With their dog apr�s la guerre 
F#7     B 
Side by side 
     A7M  G#m7   
They fell  asleep 
A6      E/G#                     
Decades gliding by like Indians 
C   C#m7   
Time is cheap 
A6        E/G#    B7/F#     E     
When they wake up they will find 
F#7       B          F#6/A# 
All their personal belongings 
     A7M  G#m7    
Have inter--twined 
F#m6     E      D           B 
Oh-----Rene and Georgette Magritte 
           A             E   
With their dog after the war 
     E               D      B 
Were dining with the power �lite 
                         A7M           
And they looked in their bedroom drawer 
    F#m6            
And what do you think 
          E6/G# 
They have hidden away 
       F#m/A                 F#7/A#   
In the cabinet cold of their hearts? 
    G#m           D#m 
The Penguins, the Moonglows 
    E                B 
The Orioles, and The Five Satins 
    E       G#m7/D# C#m7 
For now and ever    after 
E/B       A7M       
    As it was before 
D9   F#m/C#             B 
     Rene and Georgette Magritte 
                         A6   
With their dog after the war
