_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Back in the day you had been part of the smart [Bb] set
You'd holidayed with kings, dined out with [Eb] _
[Ab] starlets
From London to New York, [D] Cap Fettah to Capri
_ [Cm] In perfume by Chanel [G] and clothes by Givenchy
[Cm] You sipped Campari's with David and [Fm] Peter
[Bb] At Knowles' Parkings by Lake [Eb] Geneva
_ [Ab] Scaling the dizzy heights [Fm] of high _ society
[Cm] _ Armed only with a [G] checkbook and a family tree
[Ab] You chased the sun [Bb] around the Côte d'Azur
_ [Eb] _ Until the light of youth [Ebm] became obscure
_ [Ab] _ And left you on your [Bb] own and in the shade
[Db] An English lady [Fm] of a [G] certain _ _ [Ab] age
And if a nice young man [Bb] would buy you a drink
[Eb] You'd say with a [Ebm] _ _ conspiratorial wink _
[Ab] You wouldn't think that I [Abm] was seventy
_ [Bb] And he'd say, no, [Cm]
you couldn't be _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You had to marry someone very, very [Fm] rich
_ [Bb] So that you might be kept in the [Eb] style to which
[Ab] _
You had all of your life [D] been accustomed to
[Gm] But that the [G] socialists had taxed away from you
[Cm] _ Gave him children, [Ab] a girl and a [Fm] boy
[Bb] _
To keep your sanity, a nanny [Eb] was employed
[Ab] And when the time came, they were [D] sent away
_ [Cm] Well, that was simply what [G] you did in those [Ab] days
You chased the sun around [Bb] the Côte d'Azur
_ [Eb] _ Until the light of [Ebm] youth became obscure
_ [Ab] And left you on your [Bb] own and in the _ [Db] shade
An English lady [Fm] of a certain [G] _
age
[Ab] And if a nice young [Bb] man would buy you a drink
[Eb] _ You'd say with a _ [Ebm] _ conspiratorial wink
_ [Ab]
You wouldn't think that [Abm] I was sixty-three
[Bb] _ And he'd say, no, _ [Cm] you couldn't be _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Your son's in stocks and bonds and lives back [Fm] in Surrey
[Bb] _ Flies down once in a while and leaves in a [Eb] hurry _
[Ab] Your daughter never finished [Fm] her finishing _ school
[Cm] _ Married a strange young [G] man of whom you don't approve
[Cm] Your husband's hollow heart gave [Ab] out one Christmas day
[Bb] He left the villa to his [Eb] mistress in Marseille
[Ab] And so you come here to [D] escape your little flat
[Cm] _ Hoping someone will fill your [G] glass and let you chat
And about [Ab] how you chased the sun [Bb] around the Côte [Gm] d'Azur
_ [Eb] Until the light of youth [Ebm] became obscure
_ _ [Ab] And left you all [F] alone and [Bb] in the shade
[Db] An English lady [Fm] of a certain [G] age
[Ab] _ And if a nice young man [Bb] would buy you a [Eb] drink
You'd say with a [Ebm] _ _ _ conspiratorial wink
[Ab] You wouldn't [N] think that I was sixty-three _ _ _
