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.
