[F] _ _ [C] _ _ A bottle of white, _ [Gm] a bottle of red, [F] _
perhaps a bottle of [Bb] rosé _ [G] instead
_ [C] _ _ We'll get a table near the [F]
street in our old [Bb] familiar place
[C] You and [Gm] I face to face _ _ _
[F] _ A bottle of red, [Bb] a bottle of white, [C] _ it all depends upon [Bb] your _ [G] appetite _ _ _
I'll meet you [B] anytime you [C] want in our Italian [F] restaurant _ _ _ _

[G] You're so [D] okay with me these days, [F] I've got a good job, [G] I've got a good [C] office
I've got a new [F] wife, I've got a new life and the [Am] family is [D] fine
[G] We lost [D] touch so long ago, [F] I didn't _ know
[C] And even though [F] I look so nice [Am] after so much time
[Eb] You remember those days [Bb] hanging out at the village [F] _ creek
_ There's an air [Bb]-conditioner that I can get [F] like blue jeans
_ And [Eb] I'm a downer man, I might as well [Bb] write a song about a new [F] born lady
_ _ Come [Bb] over here, I've got lights
I [E] swear _ [G] it's night

_ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ [Em] _ _
The [G] legendary lady with the popular studies [D] of the king and the queen of the prom
[Gm] Might move out [G] with a car top down [C] and a radio on _
_ [D] Nobody looked any finer, more of a head [C] in the pathway [G] diner
You never knew [Dm] when you walked out of that and a [Gb] life _
[Am] Surely better [Bm] than anyone else, [D] so how's the [G] vibe? _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] And [G] the legendary lady was still going steady in the summer of [D] 75
_ [G] They decided to [C] marry to be at the end of July
_ _ [D] They said they were crazy, [G] you know [C] that you're much too [G] lazy
A lady could never look forward [F] to that [E] kind of life
_ _ [D] But there we were, we were living a [G] hazy life
[D] _ _ _ _ _
[C] They got an apartment with a teapot, [D] compass and a couple of [G] paintings and stairs
[C] They were a dress that they bought for their friends, [D] they say for a couple of [G] years
They started [C] to fight when the money got tight, [D] it didn't count [Em] on the tears

_ [Dm] They lived [C] for a while in a very nice [D] style but it's always the same in the [G] end
And the divorce was a matter of course and they parted at most some end
And the king and the [C] queen went back to the [E] green but you can never go back there [Em] again
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[G] And the legend had it [D] already by the summer of 75
They hided the [G] loan till the end of the show for the rest of their lives
They didn't go back to the greases, [C] the dudes [G] took up their [G] pieces
They always knew [C] they were close by the way [E] they get by
And I [G] saw the top of [E] the lady, and _ _ here we [G] are now in the red and dirty
_ _ [Bb] _ _
[Em] I don't know [D] _ _ [G] what [D] color you [Em] are
