E5      D5           B5   
Rene and Georgette Magritte 
           A5             E5    
With their dog after the war 
                  D5     B5 
Returned to their hotel suite 
                      A5      
And they unlocked the door 
F#5                E5      
Easily losing their evening clothes 
     F#5                      B5     
They danced by the light of the moon 
       E5          C#5 
To the Penguins, the Moonglows 
    A5            B5     
The Orioles, and The Five Satins 
   E5       G#5 C#5 
The deep forbidden  music 
E5         A5     
They'd been longing for 
  F#5               B5 
Rene and Georgette Magritte 
                         E5    
With their dog after the war 
  E5      D5           B5   
Rene and Georgette Magritte 
           A5             E5    
With their dog after the war 
                    D5           B5 
Were strolling down Christopher Street 
                       A5          
When they stopped in a men's store 
     F#5                  E5      
With all of the mannequins dressed in the style 
             F#5                    B5     
That brought tears to their immigrant eyes 
              E5          C#5 
Just like The Penguins, the Moonglows 
    A5            B5     
The Orioles, and The Five Satins 
    E5    G#5  C#5 
The easy stream of laughter 
E5         A5     
    Flowing through the air 
  F#5               B5 
Rene and Georgette Magritte 
                        E5          
With their dog apr�s la guerre 
F#5     B5 
Side by side 
     A5  G#5   
They fell  asleep 
A5      E5                     
Decades gliding by like Indians 
C5   C#5   
Time is cheap 
A5        E5    B5     E5     
When they wake up they will find 
F#5       B5          F#5 
All their personal belongings 
     A5  G#5    
Have inter--twined 
F#5     E5      D5           B5 
Oh-----Rene and Georgette Magritte 
           A5             E5   
With their dog after the war 
     E5               D5      B5 
Were dining with the power �lite 
                         A5           
And they looked in their bedroom drawer 
    F#5            
And what do you think 
          E5 
They have hidden away 
       F#5                 F#5   
In the cabinet cold of their hearts? 
    G#5           D#5 
The Penguins, the Moonglows 
    E5                B5 
The Orioles, and The Five Satins 
    E5       G#5 C#5 
For now and ever    after 
E5       A5       
    As it was before 
D5   F#5             B5 
     Rene and Georgette Magritte 
                         A5   
With their dog after the war 


E5  F#5  E5  A5  E5  D5  E5
