Lyrics and Chords

Verse:
-----
G G7
The morning sun touched lightly on
C G
The eyes of Lucy Jordan
G '
In a white suburban bedroom
D D7
In a white suburban town
G G7
As she lay there 'neath the covers
C G
Dreaming of a thousand lovers
D D7
Till the world turned to orange
D G G7
And the room went spinning round
Chorus:
------
C '
At the age of thirty-seven
G '
She realised she'd never ride
G '
Through Paris in a sports car
G D '
With the warm wind in her hair
G G7
So she let the phone keep ringing
C G
And she sat there softly singing
D '
Little nursery rhymes she'd memorised
C G ,
In her daddy's easy chair
Verse:
-----
G G7
Her husband, he's off to work
C G
And the kids are off to school
G '
And there were, oh, so many ways
D D7
For her to spend the day
G G7
She could clean the house for hours
C G
Or rearrange the flowers
D '
Or run naked through the shady street
D G
Screaming all the way
Chorus:
------
C '
At the age of thirty-seven
G '
She realised she'd never ride
G '
Through Paris in a sports car
G D '
With the warm wind in her hair
G G7
So she let the phone keep ringing
C G
As she sat there softly singing
D '
The nursery rhymes she'd memorize
C G ' ' '
In her daddy's easy chair.
Verse:
-----
G G7
The evening sun touched gently on
C G
The eyes of Lucy Jordan
G '
On the roof top where she climbed
G D D7 ' '
When all the laughter grew too loud
G G7
And she bowed and curtsied to the man
C G
Who reached and offered her his hand
D '
And he led her down to the long white car
D G G7
That waited past the crowd
Chorus:
------
C '
At the age of thirty-seven
G '
She realised she'd never ride
G '
Through Paris in a sports car
G D '
With the warm wind in her hair
