Intro:
Em

Verse 1:
Em                          D
They brought me a beautiful basket of fruit
    C                    G
And two finger bowls of glass
    B7                   Em      G
The couch is gold with a floral design
        G                 D
And the wine is Germany's best
        B7                Em
And the wine is Germany's best

Verse 2:
Em                         D
My thoughts drift into the frozen night
   C                      G
Frankfurt is covered with snow
    B7                     Em   G
And numbly they ride on an icy wind
    G                        D
To places they're longing to go
    B7                       Em
To places they're longing to go

Verse 3:
Em                        D
I remember the tall dark Irish rose
    C                  G
Who held me in my limousine
     B7                   Em       G
And slept with me under a burgundy quilt
     G                  D
With sheets of silk in between
      B7                     Em
Well, anyway, that's how it seemed

Verse 4:
Em                     D
I thought I wanted to marry him
    C                    G
His face was sculpted by God
    B7                    Em        G
His words were gentle and ever so true
    G                 D
And soft as the Irish fog
    B7                Em
And lost in the Irish fog

Verse 5:
Em                          D
I remember the boy from the monastery
    C              G
Who wanted to be a monk
    B7                     Em         G
But he brought flowers and wine to my room
    G                   D
And we both got happily drunk
       B7                 Em
And we both got perfectly drunk

Verse 6:
Em                               D
He laughed like the chimes of a silver bell
    C                     G
His eyes were alexandrite blue
   B7                           Em          G
He danced the t'ai chi with the grace of a deer
      G                   D
And I wanted to marry him too
      B7                  Em
Yes I wanted to marry him too

Verse 7:
               Em                     D
There was that son of a dog from the Tennessee hills
     C                      G
Kept telling me I was still young
    B7                        Em               G
He spoke in pure southern and smoothed out the lines
         G                    D
Round my eyes saying I was the one
     B7                  Em
Forever that I'd be the one

Verse 8:
 Em                             D
He drank and he cussed and he wrote his own songs
   C                    G
He was very much on the go
    B7                     Em      G
We followed each other for over a year
  G                         D
I couldn't have married him though
       B7                      Em
So we just lived in sin on the road

Verse 9:
               Em                     D
There was that black eyed beauty from Boston town
   C                      G
Two days were never too long
   B7                      Em           G
He stood by the mirror and picked out a rose
        G                 D
But I already wrote him a song
       B7                  Em
Yes, I already wrote him a song

Verse 10:
   Em                 D
So here I sit with my basket of fruit
    C                    G
And two finger bowls of glass
   B7                   Em       G
I finished my bottle of Germany's best
          G                      D
And concluded my thoughts on the past
     B7                   Em
That love is a pain in the ass
