[E]
[A]
The morning sun touched gently on [B] the [A] eyes of Lucy [E] Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom, in [B] a white suburban town
As she [E] lay there near the covers, dreaming [A] of a thousand [E] lovers
Till the [B] world turned to orange and the room went spinning [E] around
At [A] the age of thirty-seven, [E] she realized she'd never drive through Paris
In a sports car with a warm wind in [B] her hair
So [E] she let the [E] funky breeze as [A] she sat there softly [E] singing
[B] Prettiness realized she'd memorized in [A] her daddy's easy [E] chair
Her husband is off to work and [A] the kids are off to [E] school
And there were oh so many ways [B] for her to spend the day
She [E] could clean the house for hours [A] or rearrange [E] the flowers
Or [B] run naked on the shady streets, screaming all the [E] way
At [A] the age of thirty-seven, she [E] realized she'd never drive through Paris
In a sports car with a warm wind in her [B] hair
[G#m] [B] So [E] she let the funky breeze as [A] she sat there softly [E] singing
[B] Prettiness realized she'd memorized in [A] her daddy's easy [E] chair
The evening sun touched gently on [A] the eyes of Lucy [E] Jordan
On a rooftop where she climbed when all the laughter grew [B] too loud
And [E] she bowed in courtesy to the man [A] who reached and offered [E] her his hand
And [B] he led her down to the long white car that waded [C#] past the [E] crowd
At [A] the age of thirty-seven, [E] she realized she'd found forever
As she rode along through Paris with a warm wind in her [B] hair
[A]
The morning sun touched gently on [B] the [A] eyes of Lucy [E] Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom, in [B] a white suburban town
As she [E] lay there near the covers, dreaming [A] of a thousand [E] lovers
