Verse:
Cmaj
The love of my life when I was a kid
A minorAm
Came by my house this morning
      DmDm
We used to dance the afternoons away with Kylie
G+G               E MajorE
Back when the nineties were dawning


Cmaj
The love of my life when I was a kid
     A minorAm
Used to write me the sweetest letters
  DmDm                    G+G
And one night he shot a couple of birds in a pool
          E MajorE
Thought it was to impress me

      Cmaj
He was my older brother's friend and had a light around him
      A minorAm
That would chase off any winter
    DmDm                      G+G
He had no father and his mother seemed younger than ours
       E MajorE
And he was a dancer

      Cmaj
He had the keys to a place where we could practice
  A minorAm
It felt almost like Dirty Dancing
 DmDm                    G+G
Minus the United States and instead of a resort
            E MajorE
It was the Folkets Hus basement

A augmentedA F# minorF#m D MajorD E MajorE
Aaahhh

     Cmaj
Well then I became a singer and he became a chimney sweep
    A minorAm
And a hunter and a father of two so far
     DmDm
I got a grand piano and a house with a chimney
     G+G           E MajorE
And this morning he came by to sweep it

    Cmaj
And we sat on the steps to the house listening
    A minorAm
To the birds of the coming spring singing
      DmDm
He said 'get up on the roof and put up a net
       G+G           E MajorE
Or they will build a nest in your chimney

  Cmaj                 A minorAm
And when I touched his sweepers arm with my piano fingers
     DmDm
He said "watch Frida, your hands will get dirty"
G+G              E MajorE
  And I felt like I had a fever

  Cmaj
The dark powers, the mayflowers
   A minorAm
The roads on which we travel
   DmDm
How he told me no and how my young heart broke
     G+G         E MajorE
And how a cold new world unravelled

    Cmaj
I guess you do the dirty now and I do the dancing
   A minorAm
And once we were Baby and Johnny
   DmDm
In a small boring town where the winters were long
     G+G            E MajorE
And our real names were Frida and Jimmy

A augmentedA F# minorF#m D MajorD E MajorE
Aaahhh
