At ^Glast the kids are gone now for the ^D/F#day She ^Emreaches for the ^Ccoffee as the ^Gschool bus pulls a^D/F#way An^Gother day to tend the house and^D/F# plan For ^EmFriday at the Leg^Cion when she's ^Gdancing with her ^D/F#man

Sure ^Gwas a bitter winter, but ^D/F#Friday will be fine And ^Emmaybe last year's Easter dress will ^Cserve her one more time She'd ^Gpass for twenty-nine but for her ^D/F#eyes But ^AmWinter lines are ^D/F#telling wicked ^Glies

Chorus:

All^Am li^G/Bes..^C..^D ^C All those ^Glines, they're telling^Am wicked ^D/F#lies ^AmLie^G/Bs...^C. ^DAll ^Clies.... Too ^Gmany lines there in that face Too ^Amany to erase or to disg^Cuise They ^D/F#must be telling ^Glies

^Am ^G/B ^C ^D ^C

Is this the face that won for her the man Whose amazed and clumsy fingers slipped that ring upon her hand No need to search that wirror for the years The menace in their message shouts across the blur of tears So is this beauty's finish' Like Rodin's "Belle Heaulmiere"' The pretty maiden trapped inside the ranch wife's toil and care Well, after seven kids, that's no surprise But why cannot the mirror tell her lies' Chorus She shakes off the bitter web she wove Turns and puts the mirror gently face down by the stove She gathers up her apron in her hand Pours a cup of coffee, drips Carnation from the can And thinks ahead to Friday, 'cause Friday will be fine When she'll look up in that weathered face that loves hers line for line To see the maiden shining in his eyes And laugh at how the mirror tells her lies Chorus x 2 Notes: * means same chord, new measure For the chords in the chorus (Am G/B C D C), I usually play about one strum each - do whatever sounds good. D/F#: 200232 G/B: x20030 (or plain G works well, too) -- Chris Butler aka cbutler@bnr.ca -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
