Intro E E7 A E B B7 A E Esus4 E
E E7 A E
The morning sun touched lightly on the eyes of Lucy Jordan
B Bsus4 B
In her white suburban bedroom, in a white suburban town
E E7 A E
As she lay there beneath the covers dreaming of a thousand lovers
B B7 B B7 E E7
Till the world turned to orange and the room went spinning round
A E
At the age of 37, she realized she'd never ride through Paris
Bbm B Bsus4 B
In a sports car, with the warm wind in her hair
E E7 A E
And she let the phone keep ringing as she sat there softly singing
B B7 A E
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized in her daddy's easy chair ( Esus4 E)
E E7 A E
Her husband, he was off to work, and the kids were off to school
B B Bsus4
And there were oh so many ways for her to spend her day
E E7 A E
She could clean the house for hours, or re-arrange the flowers
B B7 B A E E7
Or run naked down the shady street screaming all the way
A E
At the age of 37, she realized she'd never ride through Paris
Bbm B Bsus4
In a sports car, with the warm wind in her hair
E E7 A E
And she let that phone keep ringing as she sat there softly singing
B B7 A E
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized in her daddy's easy chair ( Esus4 E)
solo 1st verse
E E7 A E
The evening sun touched gently on the eyes of Lucy Jordan
B
On the rooftop where she'd climbed when all the laughter grew too loud ( Bsus4 B)
E E7 A E
And she bowed and curtseyed to the man, who reached and offered her his hand
B B7 A E E7
And led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd
A E
At the age of 37, she knew she'd found forever as they rode along through Paris
B Bsus4 B
With the warm wind in her hair
