I [Bb] saw that she was [Eb] rather young
She [Bb] was standing at the counter [Eb] of a dusty old arcade
[Fm] She must have weighed at least [Cm] 200 pounds _
[Eb] But everything she saw, [Bb] slim and fine
_ _ _ I'd [Cm] seen nothing so enchanting [G] for so long
_ [F] This was Montreal, [G] I was hiding from the rain
[Cm] She wore black fingernails [Bb] and went right into [Eb] a song
[Fm] As she slowly came to me with [G] this refrain
_ _ _ _ [D] I'm selling all my [G] mother's clothes
_ [D] Her lingerie, her skirts [G] and coat
_ _ [D] Her beauty [Fm] was as pure [G] as this fairy sword
[Ab] I'm selling all my [Bb] mother's clothes
Yes, I [Cm] find it more great

She [Bb] chained, smoked as she handled [Eb] dark velour
[Dm] These handmade [Bb] things she showed [Eb] me in her dramatic fashion
[Fm] She saw for me these clothes held an [Cm] allure
_ [Eb] The moiré and silk [Bb] seemed to stir my passion
_ _ [Cm] It was the old, it was Chanel, [G] a certain courtesy in the sea
[F] A black-nailed [G] girl could clearly see my [Cm] weakness
A weakness fed [Bb] by a strange and [Eb] sensuous dream
[Fm] With a joyless laugh she said [G] those lines _ again
_ I'm [D] selling all my [G] mother's clothes
_ [D] Her lingerie, her skirts [G] and coat
_ [D] Her beauty [Fm] was as pure as [G] this fairy sword
[Ab] I'm selling all my [Bb] mother's clothes
Yes, [Cm] I find it more great

_ [D] showed [Bb] me last a [Eb] handbag made of velvet
_ [Bb] In it were expensive [Eb] stones like amethyst and jade
[Fm] Black sapphires had been shaped [C] just like a [Cm] rose
[Eb] For the funeral of a lover [Bb] her mother had the maid
_ It [C] probably was [G] Paris where we died is what she [F] said
As this big forgotten [G] daughter glanced towards the [Cm] window _
I'll sell [Bb] the sapphire's tree, the [Eb] man's long dead
_ [Fm] With a vacant laugh she [G] gave those lines again
_ _ I'm [D] selling all my [G] mother's clothes
_ [D] Her [Fm] lingerie, her skirts [G] and coat
[D] Her beauty [Fm] was as [G] pure as this fairy sword
[Ab] I'm selling all my [Bb] mother's clothes
Yes, I [Cm] find it more great
