A Lady of a Certain Age: The Divine Comedy CAPO 3
[Intro] (fingerstyle)
F G C F G (one strum)
[Verse 1]
Am F
Back in the day you had been part of the smart set
G C
You holidayed with kings, dined out with starlets
F Dm
From London to New York, Cap-Ferrat to Capri
Am E
In perfume by Chanel and clothes by Givenchy
Am F
You sipped camparis with David and Peter
G C
At Noel's parties by Lake Geneva
F Dm
Scaling the dizzy heights of high society
Am E
Armed only with a cheque-book and a family tree
[Chorus]
F G
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
C
Until the light of youth became obscured
F G
And left you on your own and in the shade
Bb Dm E
An English lady of a certain age
F G
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
C
You'd say with a conspire-a-tor-i-al wink
F Fm
"You wouldn't think that I was seventy"
F G Am
And he'd say, "no, you couldn't be!"
[Verse 2]
Am F
You had to marry someone very, very rich
G C
So that you might be kept in the style to which
F Dm
You had all of your life been accustomed to
Am E
But that the socialists had taxed away from you
Am F
You gave him children, a girl and a boy
G C
To keep your sanity a nanny was employed
F Dm
And when the time came they were sent away
Am E
Well that was simply what you did in those days
[Chorus]
F G
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
C
Until the light of youth became obscured
F G
And left you on your own and in the shade
Bb Dm E
An English lady of a certain age
F G
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
C
You'd say with a conspire-a-tor-i-al wink
F Fm
"You wouldn't think that I was SIXTY THREE"
F G Am
And he'd say, "no, you couldn't be!"
[Verse 3]
Am F
Your son's in stocks and bonds and lives back in Surrey
G C
Flies down once in a while and leaves in a hurry
F Dm
Your daughter never finished her finishing school
Am E
Married a strange young man of whom you don't approve
Am F
Your husband's hollow heart gave out one Christmas Day
G C
He left the villa to his mistress in Marseilles
F Dm
And so you come here to escape your little flat
Am E
Hoping someone will fill your glass and let you chat about how
[Chorus]
F G
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
C
Until the light of youth became obscured
F G
And left you on your own and in the shade
Bb Dm E
An English lady of a certain age
F G
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
C
You'd say with a conspire-a-tor-i-al wink
F Fm
"You wouldn't think that I was FIFTY THREE"
F G F
And he'd say, "no, you couldn't be!"
