[C]
He was sitting in the lounge of the Empire Hotel.
He was drinking for diversion, he was thinking for himself.
A little money riding on the maple leaves.
Along comes a lady in lacy [F] sleeves.
She said, let me sit down, you know, bringing all [C] the shades,
the shades, the bright shades.
[G] Look at [F] [C] the lovely gaze.
[F] Hey honey, you got lots of cash.
Bring us some and we'll have some laughs.
