[G] [D]
[G]
I think it's a bit slow.
Yes.
[Em]
[N] Get on with it.
[G]
[D] [G] [D] [G]
[D] [G] On [D] [G] the Cypress [D] Avenue
[G] With [D] childlike vision [G] leaping [Bm] and reared
[G] Clicking, [D] clacking of the [G] high-heeled shoe
[Bm] [G] [D] Fought on Fitzroy, [G] Madame [Bm] Joe
[G] [D] [G] Marching with the soldier [Bm] boy behind
[C] [D] He much older [G] now with hat [Bm] on, drinking wine
[C] [D] And that smell [G] of sweet perfume comes [Bm] drifting [C] through
Early [D] cool night air [G] like [Bm] shoddy [C] mild
[D] Outside [G] they're making all the [Bm] stops
[C] Kids out on [D] the street [G] collecting all [Bm] the tops
[C] [D] Gone for cigarettes [G] and matches in [Bm] the shops
[C] [D] Happy thinking, [G] Madame Joe
[Bm] [C] [D] Oh, [G] that's [Bm] when you fall
[C] Oh, [D] [G] that's when you fall
[C] That's [D] when [G] you fall
[Bm] [C] [D] [G] When you fall into [Bm] a trance
[C] Sitting on a [D] sofa [G] playing games [Bm] of [C] chance
[D] With your folded [G] arms in history [Bm] books you [C] glance
[D] Right into the [G] eyes of Madame Joe
[C] [D] [G] Like you think you've fought a [Bm] man
[C] You're [D] getting weak when [G] your knees begin to [Bm] snap
[C] [D] In a car [G] playing [Bm] dominoes in [C] draft
[D] The one and only [G] Madame Joe
[Bm] [C] [D] [G] Like film [Bm] outside the [C] frosty window wraps
[D] She jumps up and [G] says, I think that [Bm] it's the cops
[C] And immediately [D] drops everything [G] she got
Down [Bm] into [C] [D] the [G] street below
[Bm] [C] And [D] [G] you know you gotta [Bm] go
[C] [D] On that train from [G] Dublin up to St.
[C] Lawrence
[D] From the tennis [G] at the bridges down [D] the [C] lot
In the [D] rain [G] hail, sweet and [Bm] slow
[C] Say [D] [G] goodbye, Madame Joe
[Bm] [C] Dry your [D] eyes, [G] Madame Joe
[Bm] [C] [D] Wonder why, [G] Madame Joe
[Bm] [C] And [D] [G] immediately [Bm] you hear the spell [C] of music
Laughing [G] music, [D] dancing [G] music all around the room
[Bm] [C] And all the [Bm] little boys [D] come [G] around
Walking away from [Bm] it all [C] so cool
[D] And [G] you're about to leave, she [Bm] jumps up and says
[C] Hey love, [D] you [G] forgot your glove
[C] [D] [G] And you love to love to love
You [C] love to love, you [D] love to [G] love to love
You love [Bm] to love [C] to love, you love [D] to love to [G] love to love
[Bm] [C] Say goodbye, [D] [G] Madame Joe
[Bm] [C] Wonder [D] why, [G] Madame Joe
Dry your [C] eyes, [D] Madame [G] Joe
[Bm] In [C] the wind and [D] the rain
[G] And the back [Bm] street, and the back [C] street
And the back [D] street, and the back street
[G] And the back street, [Bm] and the back [C] street
And the back street, [D] and the back street
Say [G] goodbye, [Bm] Madame Joe
[C] [D] Dry your [G] eyes, Madame Joe
[C] Dry [D] your [G] eyes, Madame Joe
[Bm] [C] [D] [G] [Bm] [C] [D] [G]
