_ _ _ Back in the day you had been [Fm] part of the smart [Bb] set
You'd holidayed with kings, dined out with [Eb] [Ab] starlets
From London to New York, Cap [Fm] Ferrat to Capri
[Cm] In perfume by Chanel [G] and clothes by Givenchy
[Cm] _ Sipped Campari's with David [Fm] and Peter [Bb] At Noel's parties by [Eb] Lake Geneva
[Ab] _ Scaling the dizzy [Fm] heights of high society _ [C] Armed only with [Cm] a [G] checkbook and a family tree
[Ab] You chased the sun [Bb] around the Côte d'Azur _ [Eb] Until the light of youth became obscure
_ [Ab] And left you on your own [Bb] and in the [Db] shade An English lady [Fm] of a certain [Dm] _ [Ab] age
And if a nice [Bb] young man would buy you a drink _ [Eb] You'd say with a _ _ conspiratorial wink
[Ab] You wouldn't think that I [Abm] was seventy [Bb] And he'd say, no, [Cm] you couldn't be
_ _ You _ _ had to marry [Fm] someone very, very rich _ [Bb] So that you might be kept in the [Eb] style to which
[Ab] You had all of your life [Fm] been accustomed to _ [Cm] But that the [G] socialists had taxed away from you
[Cm] You gave him children, [Fm] a girl and a boy [Bb] To keep your sanity, a nanny [Eb] was employed
[Ab] And when the time came, [D] they were sent away _ [Cm] Well, that was simply [G] what you did in those days
[Ab] You chased the sun [Bb] around the Côte d'Azur _ [Eb] Until the light of youth became obscure
_ [Ab] And left you on your own [Bb] and in the shade [Db] An English lady of [Fm] a certain [G] _ [Ab] age
And if a nice young man [Bb] would buy you a drink [Eb] You'd say with a _ _ conspiratorial wink
[Ab] _ You wouldn't think that I [Abm] was sixty-three _ [Bb] And he'd say, no, [Cm] you couldn't be _ _ _
_ _ Your son's in stocks [C] and bonds and lives back [Fm] in [Bb] Surrey
Flies down once in a while and leaves in a [Eb] hurry [Ab] _ Your daughter never finished [Fm] her finishing school
[Cm] Married a strange young [G] man of whom you don't approve [Cm] Your husband's hollow heart gave [Fm] out
One Christmas day [Bb] he left the villa to his mistress in [Eb] [Ab] Marseilles
And now you come here [Fm] to escape your little flat [Cm] Hoping someone will fill [G] your glass
And let you chat about [Ab] how you chased the sun [Bb] around the Côte d'Azur
_ [Eb] Until the light of youth became obscure _ [Ab] And left you all [Bb] alone and in the shade
[Db] An English lady [Fm] of a certain [G] _ [Ab] age And if a nice young [Bb] man would buy you a [Eb] drink
You'd say with a [Bbm] _ [Eb]
conspiratorial [Ab] wink You wouldn't think that [Abm] I was fifty-three
[Bb] And he'd say, no, _ [Ab] you couldn't be
