5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 5
The morn-ing sun touched light-ly on

7 7 7 -7 -6 -6 6
The eyes of Lu-cy Jor-don

5 -5 6 6 6 -6 6 5
In a white sub-ur-ban bed-room

-3 4 -4 4 -3 4 -4
In a white sub-ur-ban town

5 -5 6 6 6 5 -6 6
As she lay there beneath the cov-ers

7 7 7 -7 -6 -6 6
Dream-ing of a thou-sand lov-ers

5 5 -4 -4 5 -5 -5
‘Til the world turned to or-ange

-4 5 -5 -5 5 -4 4
And the room went spin-ning round..

7 7 7 -6 7 -6 -8 7
At the age of thir-ty sev-en

-5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 5
She re-a-lised she’d nev-er ride

5 6 6 6 6 -6 6
Through Par-is in a sports car

5 -5 6 6 -5 5 5 -4
With the warm wind in her ha-ir..

5 -5 6 6 6 6 -4 4
So she let the phone keep ring-ing

7 7 7 -7 -7 -6 -6 6
As she sat there soft-ly sing-ing

5 -5 5 -4 -4 5 -5 5 -4
pret-ty nurs-ery rhymes She’d mem-o- rised

-4 5 -4 4 4 4 4
In her dad-dy’s ea-sy chair

5 6 6 6 -6 6 5
Her hus-band he’s off to work

7 7 7 -7 -7 -6 6
And the kids are off to school

5 6 6 -6 6 5 -4 4
And there are oh so ma-ny ways

4 -4 -4 5 -4 6
For her to spend the day

5 -5 6 6 6 5 -6 6
She could clean the house for hour-s

7 7 -7 -7 -6 -6 6
Or re-ar-range the flow-ers

5 -5 5 -4 -4 5 -5 5 -4
Or run na-ked down the sha-dy street

7 7 7 -6 8
Scream-ing all the way

7 7 7 -6 7 -6 -8 7
At the age of thir-ty- sev-en

-5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 5
She re-a-lised she’d nev-er ride

5 6 6 6 6 -6 6
Through Par-is in a sports car

5 -5 6 6 -5 5 5 -4
With the warm wind in her ha-ir..

5 -5 6 6 6 6 -4 4
So she let the phone keep ring-ing

7 7 7 -7 -7 -6 -6 6
And she sat there soft-ly sing-ing

5 -5 5 -4 -4 5 -5 5 -4
pret-ty nurs-ery rhymes She’d mem-o- rised

-4 5 -4 4 4 4 4
In her dad-dy’s ea-sy chair

5 6 6 6 6 -6 6
The even-ing sun touched gent-ly

5 7 7 7 -7 -6 -6 6
On the eyes of Lu- cy Jor-dan

-5 -5 6 6 6 6 6
On the roof top where she climbed

-5 5 -5 6 6 -5 5 5 -4
When all the laugh-ter grew too lou-d..

5 -5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 5
And she bowed and curt-sied to the man

7 7 7 -7 -6 -6 6 -6 6
Who reached and of-fered her his ha-nd

5 -5 5 -4 -4 -4 5 -5 -5 -4
And he led her down to the long white car

5 -5 -5 5 -4 4
That wait-ed past the crowd..

7 7 7 -6 7 -6 -8 7
At the age of thir-ty- sev-en

5 6 6 6 5 -6 6
She knew she’d found for-ev-er

5 -5 6 6 6 6 -6 6
As she rode a-long through Par-is

5 -5 6 6 -5 5 -4
With the warm wind in her hair..
