-3 4 4 4 4 -5 4 -3
The morn-ing sun touched light-ly on

-6 -6 -6 6 -5 -5 4
The eyes of Lu-cy Jor-don

-3 -3< 4 4 4 -5 4 -3
In a white sub-ur-ban bed-room

2 -2 3 -2 2 -2 3
In a white sub-ur-ban town

-3 -3< 4 4 4 -3 -5 4
As she lay there beneath the cov-ers

-6 -6 -6 6 -5 -5 4
Dream-ing of a thou-sand lov-ers

-3 -3 3 3 -3 -3< -3<
‘Til the world turned to or-ange

3 -3 -3< -3< -3 3 -2
And the room went spin-ning round..

-6 -6 -6 -5 -6 -5 7 -6
At the age of thir-ty- sev-en

-3< 4 4 4 4 -5 4 -3
She re-a-lised she’d nev-er ride

-3 4 4 4 4 -5 4
Through Par-is in a sports car

-3 -3< 4 4 -3< -3 -3 3
With the warm wind in her ha-ir..

-3 -3< 4 4 4 4 3 -2
So she let the phone keep ring-ing

-6 -6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 4
As she sat there soft-ly sing-ing

-3 -3< -3 3 3 -3 -3< -3 3
pret-ty nurs-ery rhymes She’d mem-o- rised

3 -3 3 -2 -2 -2 -2
In her dad-dy’s ea-sy chair

-3 4 4 4 -5 4 -3
Her hus-band he’s off to work

-6 -6 -6 6 6 -5 4
And the kids are off to school

-3 4 4 -5 4 -3 3 -2
And there are oh so ma-ny ways

-2 3 3 -3 3 4
For her to spend the day

-3 -3< 4 4 4 -3 -5 4
She could clean the house for hour-s

-6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 4
Or re-ar-range the flow-ers

-3 -3< -3 3 3 -3 -3< -3 3
Or run na-ked down the sha-dy street

-6 -6 -6 -5 -7
Scream-ing all the way

-6 -6 -6 -5 -6 -5 7 -6
At the age of thir-ty- sev-en

-3< 4 4 4 4 -5 4 -3
She re-a-lised she’d nev-er ride

-3 4 4 4 4 -5 4
Through Par-is in a sports car

-3 -3< 4 4 -3< -3 -3 3
With the warm wind in her ha-ir..

-3 -3< 4 4 4 4 3 -2
So she let the phone keep ring-ing

-6 -6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 4
And she sat there soft-ly sing-ing

-3 -3< -3 3 3 -3 -3< -3 3
pret-ty nurs-ery rhymes She’d mem-o- rised

3 -3 3 -2 -2 -2 -2
In her dad-dy’s ea-sy chair

-3 4 4 4 4 -5 4
The even-ing sun touched gent-ly

-3 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 -5 4
On the eyes of Lu- cy Jor-dan

-3< -3< 4 4 4 4 4
On the roof top where she climbed

-3< -3 -3< 4 4 -3< -3 -3 3
When all the laugh-ter grew too lou-d..

-3 -3< 4 4 4 4 -5 4 -3
And she bowed and curt-sied to the man

-6 -6 -6 6 -5 -5 4 -5 4
Who reached and of-fered her his ha-nd

-3 -3< -3 3 3 3 -3 -3< -3< 3
And he led her down to the long white car

-3 -3< -3< -3 3 -2
That wait-ed past the crowd..

-6 -6 -6 -5 -6 -5 7 -6
At the age of thir-ty sev-en

-3 4 4 4 -3 -5 4
She knew she’d found for-ev-er

-3 -3< 4 4 4 4 -5 4
As she rode a-long through Par-is

-3 -3< 4 4 -3< -3 3
With the warm wind in her hair..
