Intro: |G - A7 - D - D/C - G/B - A7sus4 - A7| - |Bm|

|Bm| Back in the day you had been |Em9| part of the |Em| smart set
|A7| You'd holidayed with kings, |D2| dined out with |D| starlets
|Gmaj7| From London to New York, Cap |Em6| Ferrat to Capri
|Bm| In perfume by Chanel and |F#| clothes by Givenchy 

|Bm| You sipped camparis with |Em9| David and |Em| Peter
|A7| At Noel's parties |D2| by Lake Ge-|D| neva
|Gmaj7| Scaling the dizzy heights of |Em6| high society
|Bm| Armed only with a cheque-book |F#| and a family tree 

......You |G| chased the sun around the |A7| Cote d'Azur
......|D| Until the light of youth be-|D/C| came obscured
......|G/B| And left you on your own and |A7sus4| in the |A7| shade
......|C| An English lady of a |Em| certain |F#| age 

......|G| And if a nice young man would |A7| buy you a drink
......|D| You'd say with a conspira-|D/C| torial wink
......|G/B| 'You wouldn't think that I was |Gm/Bb| seventy'
......|A7sus4| And he'd say, |A7| 'no, you |Bm| couldn't be!' 

|Bm| You had to marry someone |Em9| very very |Em| rich
|A7| So that you might be kept |D2| in the style to |D| which
|Gmaj7| You had all of your life |Em6| been accustomed to
|Bm| But that the socialists had |F#| taxed away from you 

|Bm| You gave him children, a |Em9| girl and a |Em| boy
|A7| To keep your sanity a |D2| nanny was em-|D| ployed
|Gmaj7| And when the time came they were |Em6| sent a way
|Bm| Well that was simply what you |F#| did in those days 

......You |G| chased the sun around the |A7| Cote d'Azur

|Bm| Your son's in stocks and bonds and |Em9| lives back in |Em| Surrey

|A7| Flies down once in a while and |D2| leaves in a |D| hurry
|Gmaj7| Your daughter never finished |Em6| her finishing school
|Bm| Married a strange young man of |F#| whom you don't approve 

|Bm| Your husband's hollow heart gave |Em9| out one Christmas |Em| Day
|A7| He left the villa to his |D2| mistress in |D| Marseilles
|Gmaj7| And so you come here to es-|Em6| cape your little flat
|Bm| Hoping someone will fill your |F#| glass and let you chat about how
