Verse 1:
         DmDm
The first time I saw her
DmDm
I couldn´t be sure
DmDm
But the sin of impatience
DmDm              C majorC
Said She´s just what you´re looking for
   G minorGm
So I walked right up to her
G minorGm      FF
And with the part of me that talks
        G minorGm
I introduced myself as Frank
       FF
From New York, New York
Bb majorBb
 She´s so hot
FF
 She´s so cool
C majorC
 I´m not
C majorC DmDm    C majorC    Bb majorBb    C majorC     DmDm
I´m just a fool in love with darling Lorraine

Verse 2:

DmDm
All my life I´ve been a wanderer
                  G minorGm
Not really, I mostly lived near my parents´ home
G minorGm
Anyway Lorraine and I got married
    FF
And the usual marriage stuff
         G minorGm
Then one day she says to me
G minorGm
From out of the blue, she says
 FF
"Frank, I´ve had enough
Bb majorBb    FF
Romance is a heartbreaker
C majorC           DmDm
I´m not meant to be a homemaker
    C majorC    Bb majorBb  C majorC    DmDm
And I´m tired of being darling Lorraine"

G+G    C majorC    FF C majorC
Hey let me tell you

You´re not the woman that I wed
G+G                      C majorC          FF C majorC

Verse 3:

DmDm
Financially speaking
DmDm
I guess I´m a washout
DmDm
Everybody´s buy and sell
DmDm
And sell and buy and
DmDm
And that´s what the whole thing´s all about
       G minorGm
If it had not been for Lorraine
     FF
I´d have left here long ago
         G minorGm
I should have been a musician
      FF
I love the piano
Bb majorBb
She´s so light,
FF
She´s so free
C majorC           DmDm
I´m tight, well, that´s me

But I feel so good with
C majorC    DmDm
Darling Lorraine"

And the moon in the meadow
C majorC      DmDm
Took darling Lorraine
