_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] This is a _ _
[Eb] brand new song.
This is [F] a kind of a [Gb] _
premiere, [F] I guess. _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ I could dedicate this to [Em] Cristiano's restaurant.

This is called Scenes from an [E] Italian Restaurant.
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ A bottle of white, _ _ _ [Gm] a bottle [Bb] of red _
_ [C] _ _ Perhaps a [Gm] bottle of _ [F] rosé _ _ instead _
_ [C] _ _ We'll get a table [F] near the street
In our old familiar [C] _ place
You and I, _ _ face to face _ _ _
_ [F] _ A bottle of red, _ _ a bottle of white _
_ _ [C] It all depends upon your [F] _ appetite _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ I'll meet you anytime [C] you want
In our [F] Italian _ _ _ restaurant _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [G] Are you okay [D] with me these days?
[G] Got a new job, I got a good [C] office
Got a new [F] wife, I got a new life
[Am] And the family's [G] fine
_ _ We lost touch [D] long ago
She lost weight, I did not [C] know
You could ever [F] look so nice after so much [D] time
_ [Eb] Do you remember those [Bb] days
Hanging out at the [F] Philly Green? _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ Engineer boots, [Bb] leather jackets and tight blue [F] jeans
Climb _ _ [Eb]
in the box and [Bb] play the song about the New [F] Orleans _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ Cold [Bb] beer, _ [C] highlights
My [G] sweet around-the-tech teenage nights

_ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [D] _ _ [G] Render and Eddie were the popular steadies
And [D] the king and the queen of the prom
_ [G] Fighting around with the car stopped down to [C] the radio
And _ [G] _ nobody [D] looked any finer
[G] Than the love ahead [C] at the Parkway [G] Diner
We never knew who we'd want more than that at a light
_ [E] _ _ _ Render and Eddie would always have [Gm] us alive
_ [F] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] Render and Eddie would still go and steady
[D] In the summer and said we'd be fine
_ [G] They decided to marry to me at [C] the end of July
_ _ [G] Everyone said they were [D] crazy
[G] But you know that [C] you're much too lazy
[G] Eddie could never [F] afford to live that kind of [E] life _ _ _
_ _ We'd walk up to him and say [G] goodbye
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Em] _ Went [D] to _ [C] _ _ the deep wild conference [D] and a couple of pained [G] sweet tears
[F] Hope he bought a vest and they brought him to the best [D] day of state for a couple [G] of years
_ [F] Started to fight when the money got tight
[D] And he just didn't care for [Em] the tears _ _

_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [F] They dated for a while in a very nice [D] style
But it's only the same [G] in the end
_ Got a [F] divorce as a matter of [D] course
And they parted the [G] closest of friends
[F] And the king and the queen went back to the green
[D] But you can never go back [Em] there again
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ Render [G] and Eddie had it all [D] ready by the summer of 75
[G] And I never looked [Bm] to the end of the show [C] for the rest of their lives
_ [G] _ Couldn't go back to the [D] greaseless _
[G] Take a [C] dude, pick up their [G] pieces
And we always knew [F] they'd go find a way [E] to get by _ _ _
And I don't [C] know nothing about Render and Eddie
Can't [Bm] tell you more, I told you already
And here we are baby, [D] Render and Eddie, [G] bye
_ [F] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[F] Oh, _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] oh, _ [G] _ _ _ [F] oh, _ _
