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