Intro E-D Dmaj7-E 2x
D MajorD    E MajorE   D MajorD      E MajorE     A augmentedA     D MajorD    E MajorE
Mr Carmichael says that he loves his wife, I believe he does
 A augmentedA        E MajorE      D MajorD    E MajorE D MajorD Dmaj7Dmaj7 E MajorE
Gives her everything that a man can give
   D MajorD    E MajorE   D MajorD           A augmentedA  D MajorD    E MajorE
But Mr Carmichael beggars himself on the altar of his love
   A augmentedA        E MajorE          D MajorD    E MajorE D MajorD Dmaj7Dmaj7 E MajorE
And you can tell him that that's not the way to live
   A augmentedA     BB    E MajorE  AbAb
And oh how the wind has blown
   A augmentedA        BB   E MajorE  AbAb
The leaves from the linden tree
   A augmentedA      BB      E MajorE  AbAb
And oh when the night grows free
A augmentedA        E MajorE    D MajorD    E MajorE D MajorD Dmaj7Dmaj7 E MajorE
Why does Mrs Carmichael come to me?

D MajorD    E MajorE    D MajorD    E MajorE        A augmentedA    D MajorD    E MajorE
Mrs Carmichael rises at ten, takes her time, is at her ease
 A augmentedA          E MajorE      D MajorD  E MajorE D MajorD Dmaj7Dmaj7 E MajorE
Drinking coffee in slippers and negligee
D MajorD      E MajorE      D MajorD    E MajorE     A augmentedA       D MajorD    E MajorE
Opens the door and the milkman brings her dreams, there's no-one sees
  A augmentedA         E MajorE    D MajorD     E MajorE D MajorD Dmaj7Dmaj7 E MajorE
Except the statue of Venus and she won't say
   A augmentedA     BB    E MajorE  AbAb
And oh how the wind has blown
   A augmentedA        BB   E MajorE  AbAb
The leaves from the linden tree
   A augmentedA      BB      E MajorE  AbAb
And oh when the night grows free
A augmentedA        E MajorE    D MajorD    E MajorE D MajorD Dmaj7Dmaj7 E MajorE
Why does Mrs Carmichael come to me?

  D MajorD    E MajorE   D MajorD      E MajorE     A augmentedA     D MajorD    E MajorE
Oh Mr Carmichael, captain and star of his office billiards team
 A augmentedA           E MajorE      D MajorD     E MajorE D MajorD Dmaj7Dmaj7 E MajorE
Smiles to greet the applause as his ball goes in
D MajorD     E MajorE   D MajorD      E MajorE   A augmentedA        D MajorD    E MajorE
Hurrying back, bringing his victory home but there's no-one here
   A augmentedA          E MajorE    D MajorD   E MajorE D MajorD Dmaj7Dmaj7 E MajorE
And supper waits on the table inside a tin
   A augmentedA     BB    E MajorE  AbAb
And oh how the linden leaves
   A augmentedA       BB      E MajorE  AbAb
Lie tossed as the night wind blows
   A augmentedA       BB    E MajorE  AbAb
And struck in his silent pose
A augmentedA       E MajorE         D MajorD    E MajorE D MajorD Dmaj7Dmaj7 E MajorE
Mr Carmichael weeps and there's no-one knows
