When Awe first met I Ddidn't know what to Ado
My old love lines were all Dworn out on Ayou
And the Dworld walked D/C#round at my Bmmouth
They Alit me up and they Esnuffed me Aout
Chorus
And AI was Eeverybody's Aboy
But Dsoon that D/C#thrill just Bmfades
To Dbe the Elove of Aone Etrue F#mheart
Or the DJack of Eall Aparades
[Do opening riff here]
You won't Aknow who to thank
You won't Dknow who to Ablame
It's just a part of the DMurdering AGame
Cos down in the fleshpots
Where they Dpay you in Apounds
They're laughing like drains
And Dbaying like Abloodhounds
For the DJack of D/C#all paBmrades
The DJack of Eall Aparades A7
DOnce I knew a girl
That looked so Dmmuch like Judy Garland
That Apeople would stop and give her money
D And everybody was Frankie, DmJimmy or Bobby
Not the AJack, the EJack of all Parades,
Oh the AJack, the DJack of all EParades,
Oh the AJack,E of all PaArades.
[Intro riff again]
Now the Away that I feel is Dno longer Anews
You know my love and Dhow to Arefuse it
Cause you know where the door is
DAnd how to Ause it
DOh you D/C#know you Bmdo
But from Amy chequered past
To Dthis shattered Aterrace
Where you can't keep your mind off
the DCrimes of AParis
And you can't keep your peace
And Dtry to Aforget it
And I can't forgive you
For Dthings you haven't Adone yet
Oh AI was Eanybody's Aboy
But Dsoon that D/C#thrill just Bmfades
To Dbe the Elove of Aone Etrue F#mheart
Or the DJack of Eall Aparades
A [tacet]
When we first met I didn't know what to do
A [tacet]
My old love lines were all worn out on you
And the Dworld walked D/C#'round my Bmmouth
I Adidn't mean to say it
I just Eblurted it Aout
As you Dpretended not to D/C#notice
Or be Bmtaken aback
And EI loved you Athere and then
It's as Esimple as Athat
Oh AI was Eeverybody's Aboy
But Dsoon that D/C#thrill just Bmfades
To Dbe the Elove of Aone Etrue F#mheart
Or the DJack of Eall Aparades
To Abe the Elove of Aone Etrue F#mheart
Or the DJack of Eall Aparades
Oh the DJack of Eall Aparades
