      E MajorE
This is the dinner prepared
      E7E7+
This is the dress that I made
       E7E7
This is the child I brought up
Bº        F#-
  And this is the woman you laid
A augmentedA        E MajorE
  This is the woman you laid


      E MajorE
This is the perfume I wore
      E7E7+
This is the hotel we stayed
      E7E7
This is the way that I lay
Bº         F#-
  And this is the woman you laid
A augmentedA        E MajorE
  This is the woman you laid

BB                       G#-   C majorC
  We promised ourselves this is no one-night stand
BB                         G#-   C majorC
  Let us draw all the curtains and strike up the band
BB                         G#-   C majorC
  And I'm thrilled by the gentlest touch of your hand
   B7B7   F#-   G#-   F#-
We pretend

     E MajorE        E7E7+
There's a tear, there's a tear
E7E7              Bº   F#-     A-   E MajorE
Not through confusion through fe. . .ar, through fe. . .ar

       E MajorE
This is the smile that I wore
      E7E7+
This is the song that we played
      E7E7
This is the way that I lay
Bº        F#-
  And this is the woman you laid
A augmentedA       E MajorE
  This is the woman you laid

BB                       G#-   C majorC
  Next morning our eyes filled with sleepy regret
BB                   G#-   C majorC
  A augmentedA kiss and good-bye and a long cigarette
BB                      G#-   C majorC
  But the pillow I lay on is cold and it's wet
     B7B7   F#-   G#-   F#-
Can't pretend


    E MajorE      E7E7+
It's a tear, it's a tear
E7E7              Bº   F#-     A-   E MajorE
Not through confusion through fe. . .ar, through fe. . .ar
B-                    E MajorE   G+G
  And knowing at least that love came so ne. . .ar
B-                        A augmentedA   E MajorE
  Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed te. . .ar

  Roll out the red carpets and unplug the phone
BB                   G#-    C majorC
  Root out the photos you've already shown
BB                   G#-    C majorC
 'Cos this one night you won't sleep alone
  B7B7  F#-   G#-  F#-
Just one ni. . . . . . . ight

It's a tear, it's a tear

Not through confusion through fe. . .ar, through fe. . .ar

  And knowing at least that love came so near
B-                        A augmentedA   E MajorE
  Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed te. . .ar
