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

Mrs Carmichael rises at ten, takes her time, is at her ease
A E D E D Dmaj7 E
Drinking coffee in slippers and negligee
D E D E A D E
Opens the door and the milkman brings her dreams, there's no-one sees
A E D E D Dmaj7 E
Except the statue of Venus and she won't say
A B E Ab
And oh how the wind has blown
A B E Ab
The leaves from the linden tree
A B E Ab
And oh when the night grows free
A E D E D Dmaj7 E
Why does Mrs Carmichael come to me?
D E D E A D E
Oh Mr Carmichael, captain and star of his office billiards team
A E D E D Dmaj7 E
Smiles to greet the applause as his ball goes in
D E D E A D E
Hurrying back, bringing his victory home but there's no-one here
A E D E D Dmaj7 E
And supper waits on the table inside a tin
A B E Ab
And oh how the linden leaves
A B E Ab
Lie tossed as the night wind blows
A B E Ab
And struck in his silent pose
A E D E D Dmaj7 E
Mr Carmichael weeps and there's no-one knows
