Lush Life chords by Ella Mae Morse

Chords with lyrics

Intro: Verse

E7E7 A augmentedA      E7E7   FdimFdim A augmentedA
I used to visit all the very gay places
E7E7  FdimFdim    A augmentedA
Those come what may places
   E7E7   A augmentedA  D9D9   A augmentedA  CdimCdim   A7M
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
 FdimFdim     A7M       FdimFdim   A7M
To  get  the feel of life from jazz and cocktails
E7E7  A augmentedA    E7E7   FdimFdim      A augmentedA
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
   E7E7  FdimFdim  A augmentedA
With distant gay traces
   E7E7   A augmentedA    D9D9     A augmentedA     CdimCdim    A7M
That used to be there you could see where they'd been washed away
 FdimFdim      A7M      FdimFdim   A7M
By  too  many through the day twelve o'clock tales
A7A7  DmDm    A7A7       DmDm    Dm7Dm7   G minorGm      DmDm
Then you came along with your siren of song to tempt me to madness
A7A7  DmDm      A7A7    DmDm      Dm7Dm7     G minorGm       A augmentedA
I thought for a while that your poignant smile was tinged with the sadness
   GdimGdim     FdimFdim
Of a great love for  me
     GdimGdim FdimFdim E MajorE     Dm6Dm6   FF
Ah yes!  I  was wrong again, I was wrong
Melody
A#A#   F minorFm    A#A#      FF    A#6A#6 FF      A#A#  A augmentedA  C#C#
Life is lonely again, and only last year everything seemed so sure
C majorC  A#A#   F minorFm   A#A#      FF       A#6A#6   FF    A#A# A augmentedA  C#C#
Now life is awful again, a trough full of hearts could only be a bore
 FF    BB      FF    BB   A#A#           A#m9A#m9    A#A#   CdimCdim  A#m9A#m9
A augmentedA week in Paris could ease the bite of it, all I care is to smile in spite of it
A#A#   A#m9A#m9    A#A#     F7F7      A#6A#6   FF    A#A#  A augmentedA  C#C#
I'll forget you, I will, while yet you are still burning inside my brain
  FF   FdimFdim           A#A#    F7/13
Romance is mush, stifling those who strive
  A#9A#9     CdimCdim     A#A#  Gm7Gm7  GdimGdim
So I'll live a lush life in some small dive
  A#A#    A#mA#m CdimCdim  A#A#      F7/13
And there I'll be, while I rot with the rest
F7F7 D#D#   E7E7  F7F7  F#7F#7 F7F7  GdimGdim A#A#
Of those whose lives are lonely,  too
