Cecily Smith (Bonus Track) Chords

_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
[G] War was over, I was living with my [Em] folks
I [Gm] yelled upstairs, [C#] hey mom, off to [A] grab some [G] smokes
And my [B] father [Em] called, why you need [A] to smoke so late?
[C] Well I'd lied, I had a date _
_ [G] Free from my folks' _ _ _ [D#] enslavement
Skipping along the _ pavement
[Bm] To see a brunette, [A] who I'd never met
[D] But I [G#m] never would forget [G] how she looked in that dress
_ _ How she stuck [B] out her hand and said, my name is [G] Cecily Smith _ _ _
And I hope [A] you like music
_ Cause I've got [G] two [B] tickets for La _ _ [G] Traviata
That's when I [C#] said, I hate op
_ [Cm] _ _ She laughed and [D#] said, well lucky for you
[Cm] That you're with [G] Cecily Smith
_ [Cm] Who cares what [G] you are listening to
[C] It's who you're listening [Em] _ with
_ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] So we take [G] our seats, her hands are folded in her lap
[Em] If not [G] a kiss, [C#] then I at least [D] will get a nap
[G] So I [B] close my [G] eyes as the [A] orchestra begins
[C] Then I hear violins
[Am] _ [G] And the hair on my neck was _ rising
[D#]
A feeling new and _ surprising
[D] But it wasn't the sound [A] that made my heart pound
[D] No, it was [E] because I found [G] her hand is in mine
[F#] _ [G] _ _ [B] And that's where it will stay until they play the [Bm] final [E] chord
_ _ _ She says, [A] were you _ bored?
_ And I [G] say, I guess it [B] wasn't quite so bad
[G] It was the best time that I _ [C#] ever had
_ [Cm] _ She laughed and said, [G] well lucky for you
[C] I got seats to [G] Beethoven's Fifth
_ [Cm] Who cares what [G] you are listening to
_ [Cm] It's who you're [Em] listening _ [F#m] with
[G] The _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ [G] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [Am] _ [C] _ _ [F#m] perfect _ [G] _
_ [C] _ wife
_ The _
_ _ _ [F#m] perfect [G] _ _ [C] _
life
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] The time [G]
exploded like a bullet from a gun
[Em] A week, [G] a year, and [F] then a marriage [D] and a son
[G] And a [G#m] rental where [Bm] I still can [A] hear her laugh _ _ _
[Am] When I play the _ _ [D]
phonograph
[G] So I let the music guide me
[D#] And Sessom sits beside me
[D] A girl of nineteen [A] with a nervous marine
Feel [D] her head begin to lean as the melody [G] soars
_ _ [G] _ _ [B] And though it was real, it doesn't feel like it [G] could be
_ _ That night [A] when you said to me
That I've got [G] two tickets [Bm] for La _ [Em]
Traviata
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A#] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ It's sad but true [Em] how much I miss you
[Cm] I miss you, [G] Cecily Smith
_ _ [C] _ Life is not [G] the things that we do
[Cm] It's who we're [Em] doing them with
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
