 |E MajorE   D MajorD     |BB
Rene and Georgette Magritte

      A augmentedA      |E MajorE |
With their dog after the war

 |        D MajorD  |BB
Returned to their hotel suite

           |Amaj7Amaj7 | |
And they unlocked the door

F#m6F#m6        |E6/G#
Easily losing their evening clothes

  |F#m/A           |B/A |
They danced by the light of the moon

   |E/G#     |C#m7C#m7
To the Penguins, the Moonglows

  AMaj9Amaj9      |B9B9
The Orioles, and The Five Satins

  |E MajorE    G#m7/D#|C# minorC#m
The deep forbidden music

E/B    |Amaj7Amaj7
They'd been longing for

 |F#m6F#m6       |B9B9
Rene and Georgette Magritte

            |E MajorE |
With their dog after the war


 |E MajorE   D MajorD     |BB
Rene and Georgette Magritte

      A augmentedA      |E MajorE |
With their dog after the war

  |        D MajorD     |BB
Were strolling down Christopher Street

           |Amaj7Amaj7   |
When they stopped in a men's store

  |F#m6F#m6         |E6/G#
With all of the mannequins dressed in the style

      |F#m/A          |B/A |
That brought tears to their immigrant eyes

       |E/G#     |C#m7C#m7
Just like The Penguins, the Moonglows

  AMaj9Amaj9      |B9B9
The Orioles, and The Five Satins

  |E MajorE  G#m7/D# |C# minorC#m
The easy stream of laughter

E/B    |Amaj7Amaj7
  Flowing through the air

 |F#m6F#m6       |B9B9
Rene and Georgette Magritte

            |E MajorE   | |
With their dog après la guerre

F#7F#7  |BB
Side by side

  |Amaj7Amaj7 |G#m7G#m7 |
They fell asleep

A major 6A6   |E/G#          |
Decades gliding by like Indians

B#dimB#dim |C#m7C#m7 |
Time is cheap

A major 6A6    |E/G#  |B7/F#  |E MajorE  |
When they wake up they will find

F#7F#7   |BB     F#6/A#
All their personal belongings

  |Amaj7Amaj7 |G#m7G#m7 |
Have inter--twined

F#m6F#m6 | |E MajorE   D MajorD     |BB
Oh-----Rene and Georgette Magritte

      A augmentedA      |E MajorE |
With their dog after the war

  |E MajorE        D MajorD   |BB
Were dining with the power élite

            |Amaj7Amaj7     |
And they looked in their bedroom drawer

  |F#m6F#m6
And what do you think

     |E6/G#
They have hidden away

   |F#m/A        |F#7/A# |
In the cabinet cold of their hearts?

  |G# minorG#m     |D#mD#m
The Penguins, the Moonglows

  |E MajorE        |BB
The Orioles, and The Five Satins

  |E MajorE    G#m7/D#|C#m7C#m7
For now and ever  after

E/B   |Amaj7Amaj7   |
  As it was before

D9-5 |F#m/C#F#m/C#      |BB
   Rene and Georgette Magritte

            |A major 6A6 |
With their dog after the war
