_ Back in the day you had been part of the [Fm] smart [Bb] set
You'd holiday with kings, dined out with [Eb]
[Ab] starlets
From London to New York, [D] Cap Ferrata to Capri
[Cm] In perfume by [G] Chanel and clothes by Givenchy
[Cm] You sipped [Ab] Campari's with David and [Fm]
[Bb] Peter
At Noel's parties by Lake [Eb] Geneva
[Ab] _ Scaling the dizzy heights of [Fm] high society
[Cm] Armed only with a [G] checkbook and a family tree
[Ab] You chased the sun [Bb] around the Côte d'Azur _
[Eb] Until the light of youth became obscure _
[Ab] And left you on your [Bb] own and in the shade
[Db] An English lady [Fm] of a certain [G] _
[Ab] age
And if a nice young [Bb] man would buy you a drink
[Eb] You'd say with a _ conspiratorial wink
[Ab] You wouldn't think that [Abm] I was seventy _
[Ab] [Bb] And he'd say no, [Cm] you couldn't be _ _
_ _ _ _ You had to marry someone very, [Fm] very rich
[Bb] So that you might be kept in the [Eb] style to which
[Ab] You had all of your [Fm] life been accustomed to
[Cm] But that the socialists [G] had taxed away from you
[Cm] _ Gave them children, [Ab] a girl and [Fm] a [Bb] boy
To keep your sanity, a [Eb] nanny was employed
[Ab] And when the time came they were [D] sent away
_ [Cm] Well that was simply what [G] you did in those days
[Ab] You chased the sun [Gm] around the Côte d'Azur
_ [Eb] Until the light of youth became obscure
_ [Ab] And left you on your own and [Bb] in the shade
[Db] An English lady of [Fm] a certain [G] _ [Ab] age
And if a nice young man [Bb] would buy you a [Eb] drink
You'd say with a _ conspiratorial wink
[Ab] You wouldn't think that [Abm] I was sixty [Bb]-three
And he'd say no, [Cm] you couldn't be
_ Your _ _ _ son's in stocks and bonds [Ab] and lives back [Fm] in [Bb] Surrey
Flies down once in a while, [Eb] leaves in a hurry
[Ab] Your daughter never finished [Fm] her finishing school
[Cm] _ Married a strange [G] young man of whom you don't approve
[Cm] Your husband's hollow heart [Ab] gave out one Christmas day
[Bb] He left the villa to his mistress [Eb] in _
[Ab] Marseille
And so you come here to [Fm] escape your little flat
[Cm] _ Hoping someone will [G] fill your glass and let you chat
[Ab] About how you chased the sun [Bb] around the Côte [Gm] d'Azur
[Eb] Until the light of youth became obscure
[Ab] And left you all alone and in [Bb] the [Db] shade
An English lady [Fm] of a certain [G] _
[Ab] age
And if a nice young [Bb] man would buy you a [Eb] drink
You'd say with a _ conspiratorial [Ab] wink
You wouldn't think that I [Abm] was fifty-three
[Bb] And you'd say no, [Ab] you couldn't be _
