Intro
(Helena Rubinstein speaking)
C     G                             C
These portraits ... they trap me in amber.
They will not age.
They will live forever.

My Dali dear,
That mad surrealist,

He made me beautiful
D
Forever Beautiful
Db           E
My eyes like gems,
C                    D
Notice, please, each tiny lash
Ab                   C
Would you believe he painted with his own mustache?

Raoul Dufy,
            Ebm
A brilliant colorist

He made me beautiful

Forever Beautiful
Db           C
A few deft strokes
Poppy red and iris blue
Ab                                          G     C
In my small way I do know something of this too

verse 3
C
Made women glorious, Made women glamorous
                                           F
Used all my art to halt the march of time
  D                Gb
I slowed it down a bit,
            F
There is no stopping it,
    Gb                              F
But in a painting it is always your prime
B        F
Right?

verse 4
          C
Tamara de Lempicka
She was bisexual
            Ebm
You see her love for me,
D
But it's sub-textual
Db          C
My lifelong fight
Is to keep my figure trim
Ab                                       C
But now I eat 'cause Giacometti keeps me slim

Bridge

C
Seven guest rooms. When was the last time she even had a visitor?

(Second man speaking)
She's old, and scared.

(First man speaking)
B
Wouldn't you be?

verse 4
Ab
Good, go then, you money men
  Ebm             Bbm
I read your beady eyes:
Ebm                Ab
'Vain old lady all   alone
   Db            C       Bbm
In bed until she dies

Verse 5
Bbm
I admit,
                              C      Ab
I am a little bit afraid to me-et death,
           D               Bbm
But with brilliant eye for art,
     G    D
When I depart,
       B
I'll cheat death

Verse 6
Db
With my Picasso
His early cubist years
           Gb
I posed no clothes with him,
               Ebm
Thank God, who knows with him?
Bbm                           Db           Ebm
He says 'Your ears are like elephant in size
           G              Db                    Ab      Db
I say from you, well, who can tell from ears or eyes?

Verse 7
Db
When I was girl of eight,
        G
My papa sneered at me
    Ab              Db            C
A plainer face he'd never seen before
          G
I said to hell with fate,
              Db
I'll mold my destiny,
Ab                                         Db
Packed my satchel and walked right out the door


Verse 8
        Db
From discontented life
Ab        Db
Without a cent I was
                                  C
Became a name the world could not ignore

Verse 9
      C
I reinvent my life
         B
As every artist does
      Bbm
I had nothing, I knew nothing
       G                      Gb
I only know there must be something more
Ab   E
So much more

verse 10
Db
Look at them all
                 E
Their light will never dim
Db                       Gb
If death should come for me,
F
They bar the door on him
                 Db
Though flesh may fade,
Bbm                  Db
Canvas lives immortally,
                                              C
And there I'll hang from now through all eternity


verse 11

Who gives a damn?
No children visit me
             Ab     G
These are my pro-ge-ny
Each an exquisite me

verse 12

Who says I'm old?
D            G
I look at my life so far
E
And I am beautiful, And I feel beautiful

Forever beautiful

When you feel beautiful,
D
You are
