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