_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
This next song we're going to do, _ before we do it though, I'd like for you all please to give this band a big hand and Mr.
Hamilton.
_ _ _ _ This _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ next song is a song that I first heard as a really young girl, _ _ _ done by _ _ Billie _ _ _ _ _ _ Holiday. _
I think it was her last album, Lady in Satin. _ _ _
_ She's always been a favorite of mine.
[Eb] This is a song I've wanted to sing for a long, long time.
I finally did it on my last [G] album, but I think these guys do it better. _
It's called The End of a Love Affair. _ _ _

_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Eb] So I walk a _ [Dm] _ _ little too _ _ fast
[Bb] _ [Bbm] And I drive [Db] _ a [Ab] little too _ _ _
[Cm] fast
_ [B] And I'm reckless, _ _
[Gb] it's [F] true
[B] But what else [Db] can you do
[Gb] At the [Gbm] end _ [Dm] of a [Gm] love _ [Bb] affair
_ _ So I smoke _ _
[Dm] a [F] little too _ [A] much
[Dm] _ And [Db] I _ laugh [Cm] _ a [G] little too _ [Cm] much
_ And [Abm] my voice [B] _
[Bbm] is too _ loud
[B] When I'm [E] out [Db] in a crowd
So [Bbm] that people _ _
[Db] are apt [Bb] to stare
Do [Dm] _ [Gm] _ they know, do [C] they _ care
[Gm] That it's only, [C] _ _ _ _ [Gm] that I'm lonely
[C] Do they know, _ [Bb] _ _ [C] do [Dm] they [Gb] care
[Am] That the smile _ [Dm] on my face
_ [F] Is really [Em] a _ smile
[Gm] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ [Cm] So I smoke _ _
[Eb] a [Dm] little too much _
[Bb] And I [Bbm] _ drink _
[Eb] a little too _ _ _ much
_ [B] And the tunes I [Db] request
Are [Abm] not always [Bbm] the [Db] best
But [Gb] the ones _ [F] where the trumpets _ [G] _ [Ab] play
[Abm] I [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] call _ this a _ _ [Db] maddening day
_ [Gb] _
And I [Dm] _ pretend that it's taking its [E] _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [C] place
[Cm] But what else [G] can you do
_ [Cm] _ At the end [C] of a love _ _ [Gb] affair
What [Ab] can you _ do
[Gb] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ [F] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [F] [C] When the sun is out and the night is [F] young
And the _
[C] glass [Bb] is _ _ [Eb] _ _
[G] full of _ [Eb] _ people
[Gm] _
_ _ So [Bb] I smoke _
[Dm] _ a little too _ much
And [Db] I _ drink _ [C] a [Eb] _ little [G] too _
_ [Cm] much
_ [Abm] And the tunes I [Bbm] request
Are [Ebm] not [E] always the [Bbm] best
But the ones where [Db] the [B] trumpets _ [Gm] _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] play
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [Dm] I call this a maddening _ _ [E] day _
[Db] _ _ And I pretend that it's taking its place
But [G] what _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Eb] _ _ else can [G] you do
_ _ _ [Cm] At _ the end of [F] a _ love _
[G] _ _ _ affair _ _ _
