^CThe morning sun touched gently on ^C7 the e^Fyes of Lucy Jo^Crdan

in a white suburban bedroom

in a wh^Gite suburban town. ^G7 As she l^Cay there 'neath the covers ^C7 dreaming ^Fof a thousand lo^Cvers till the wo^Grld turned to orange ^G7 and the room went spinning ro^Cund. ^C7

At the a^Fge of thirty-seven she rea^Clized she'd never ride

through Paris in a sports car

with the worm wind in her h^Gair. So she l^Cet the phone keep ringing ^C7 as she s^Fat there softly sin^Cging the nur^Gsery rhymes she'd memorize in her da^Fddy's easy ch^Cair.

Her husband is off to work ^C7 and the k^Fids are off to sc^Chool

and there were oh so many ways

for h^Ger to spend a day. ^G7 She could cl^Cean the house for hours ^C7 or ^Fre-arrange the flo^Cwers or m^Gake it through the shady stream screaming all the w^Cay.

At the a^Fge of thirty-seven she rea^Clized she'd never ride

through Paris in a sports car

with the worm wind in her h^Gair. So she l^Cet the phone keep ringing ^C7 as she s^Fat there softly sin^Cging the nur^Gsery rhymes she'd memorize in her da^Fddy's easy ch^Cair.

The evening sun touched gently on ^C7 the e^Fyes of Lucy Jo^Crdan

on the roof top where she climbed

when all the laughter grew too l^Goud. ^G7 And she bo^Cwed and cursed to the man (?^C7) who rea^Fched out ... off to h^Cer his hands (?) and l^Ged her down to a long white car (?) that waited, past the cr^Cowd. ^C7

At the a^Fge of thirty-seven she k^Cnew that she'd found heaven

as she rode along through Paris

with the worm wind in her h^Gair. Seite 1 von 3
