[G] [C] [G]
[C] [G]
Down the Cypress Avenue, [C] [G] the childlike vision is leaping into view.
[C] [G] Clicking clacking of the high heeled shoe, [C] for [G] Arden Fitzroy, Madam Joy.
[C] [G]
Marching with the soldier boy behind, [C] [G] he's much old enough with hat on, drinking wine.
[C] And that [G] smell of sweet perfume comes drifting [C] through, early [G] cool night air, like Charlemagne.
[C] [G]
Outside they're making all the [C] stops, [D] kids out in the [G] street, collecting bottle tops.
[C] [G] Going for cigarettes and matches in the shops, [C] [D] happy thinking, [G] Madam Joy.
[C] [G]
Oh, that's when you fall.
[C] [G]
Oh, that's when you fall.
[C] [D] Yeah, [G] that's when you fall.
[C] [D]
[G] When you fall into a [C] trance, [D] sitting on a [G] sofa playing games of [C] chess.
[D] With your folded [G] arms in history books you glance, [C] into [D] the [G] eyes of Madam Joy.
[C] [G]
And you think you've found the [C] back, you're [Bm] getting weaker [G] and your knees begin to sag.
[C] In [Bm] the [G] corner playing dominoes in drag, [C] [D] the one and [G] only Madam Joy.
[C] [G]
Inside the frosty [C] window wraps, [G] she jumps up and says, Lord have mercy, I think that it's the [C] cops.
[G] And immediately drops everything she's got, [C] [G] down into the street below.
And [C] [G]
you know you've got to go, [C] on [G] that train from Douglas up to Sandy Row.
[C] [G] Throwing pennies at the bridges down below, [C] [G] in the rain, hail, sleet and snow.
[C] [G]
Say goodbye to Madam Joy, [C] [G] dry your eyes for Madam Joy.
[C] [G]
Wonder why for Madam [C] Joy.
[G]
As you leave [C] the room, [G] filled with music, laughing music, dancing music, all around the room.
And all the little boys [C] come round, [G] walking away from it all, so cool.
[C] And [G] you're about to leave, she jumps up and says, Hey love, [C] you [G] forgot your glove.
And the love, the [C] love, she loves to [G] love, the love, the love, the love, she loves to [C] love, the love, the [D] love.
