_ _ She _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ almost makes the day [F]
begin.
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ I've grown [F] accustomed to [Gb] the [C] tune.
She [G] whistles night and noon.
[C] Her [F] [Dm] smiles, [E] her frowns, [Dm] her ups, her downs,
are [G] second nature to me now.
_ _ _ _ [C] Like breathing [F] out, breathing in.
_ [G] _ _

[G] accustomed _ to her voice,
[Am] accustomed _ _
[F] to her [C] _ _ face!
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
Miss _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Freddie, _ what an infantile idea.

_ _ _ [A] I can see her [D] now, Misses Freddie, Einstein Hill,
in a wretched little flat above [C] the storm.

[Gm] and end up selling [D] flowers instead,
[Bm] _ _
[C] begging for her bread [E] and water
while [Gbm] her husband [F] has his breakfast [A] in _ bed.
_ [Dm] In a year or so, when she's prematurely grey
and the blossom in her cheek has turned [Gm] to chalk,

with a social-climbing heiress from [Gb] New York. _
Poor [G] Inzizer.

_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] How [G] poignant [E] it will be on that [C] inevitable [D] night
when [C] she hammers on my door in [Gm] tears and _ rags.
[Ebm] _
Miserable and lonely, repentant and contrite.
Will I let her in or hurl her to the wolves?
[Bm] Will I show her [Eb] kindness or the treatment [D] she deserves?
[F] Will I take her back or throw her baggage out? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] At least, forgiving me.
_ _ _ Sort [E] of a [Am] havocal, [G] abled woman,
[D] take a position [Bb] and stomp, slay, never bow.
_ _ _ [F] _

[A] Good morning.
_ [G] Every day, [F] her [D] joys, [Em] her [G] woes, [Dm] her highs, _ [Db] [G] her lows.
Our second nature to be _ loved.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ And breathing [F] in,
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Em] _ I'm very [F] grateful [B] she's a woman and [G] so easy to [A] forget. _ _
