Afternoon chords by Carla Bruni

C#m            E
	comforted,

     B                  A
And done with this desire,

      C#m                    G#
With memory to share my bed

           C#m          E
When I am old, and comforted,

     B                  A
And done with this desire,

      C#m          G#          C#m
With peace to share my fire

      C#m         E         B           A
I'll comb my hair in scalloped bands

    C#m                   G#
Beneath my laundered cap,

     C#m          E          B         A
And watch my cool and fragile hands

 C#m             G#       C#m
Lie light upon my lap.


     B                        E
And I will have a sprigged gown

      B                 E
With lace to kiss my throat;

      B                 E
I'll draw my curtain to the town,

     G#
And hum a purring note.


     C#m         E         B        A
And I'll forget the way of tears,

     C#m                   G#
And rock, and stir my tea.

     C#m       E           B          A
But oh, I wish those blessed years

      C#m         G#           C#m
Were further   than they be


     B                        E
And I will have a sprigged gown

      B                 E
With lace to kiss my throat;

      B                 E
I'll draw my curtain to the town,

     G#
And hum a purring note.


           C#m          E
When I am old, and comforted,

     B                  A
And done with this desire,

      C#m                    G#
With memory to share my bed

           C#m          E
When I am old, and comforted,

     B                  A
And done with this desire,

      C#m          G#          C#m
With peace to share my fire

      C#m          G#          C#m
With peace to share my fire
