Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)
E MajorE 
E7E7
The morning sun touched gently on
A augmentedA E MajorE
the eyes of Lucy Jordan
in a white suburban bedroom
BB 
B7B7
in a white suburban town.
E MajorE E7E7
As she lay there 'neath the covers
A augmentedA E MajorE
dreaming of a thousand lovers
BB B7B7
till the world turned to orange
E MajorE E7E7
and the room went spinning round.
A augmentedA
At the age of thirty-seven
E MajorE
she realized she'd never ride
through Paris in a sports car
BB
with the worm wind in her hair.
E MajorE E7E7
So she let the phone keep ringing
A augmentedA E MajorE
as she sat there softly singing
BB
the nursery rhymes she'd memorize
A augmentedA E MajorE
in her daddy's easy chair.
E7E7
Her husband is off to work
A augmentedA E MajorE
and the kids are off to school
and there were oh so many ways
BB B7B7
for her to spend a day.
E MajorE E7E7
She could clean the house for hours
A augmentedA E MajorE
or re-arrange the flowers
BB
or make it through the shady stream
E MajorE
screaming all the way.
A augmentedA
At the age of thirty-seven
E MajorE
she realized she'd never ride
through Paris in a sports car
BB
with the worm wind in her hair.
E MajorE E7E7
So she let the phone keep ringing
A augmentedA E MajorE
as she sat there softly singing
BB
the nursery rhymes she'd memorize
A augmentedA E MajorE
in her daddy's easy chair.
E7E7
The evening sun touched gently on
A augmentedA E MajorE
the eyes of Lucy Jordan
on the roof top where she climbed
BB B7B7
when all the laughter grew too loud.
E MajorE E7E7
And she bowed and cursed to the man
A augmentedA E MajorE
who reached out ... off to her his hands
BB
and led her down to a long white car
E MajorE E7E7
that waited, past the crowd.
A augmentedA
At the age of thirty-seven
E MajorE
she knew that she'd found heaven
as she rode along through Paris
BB
