_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The first time I saw her _ I couldn't be sure
_ _ _ But the sin of impatience _ said she's [D] just what you're looking for
So _ [Gm] I walked right up to [C] her and [Dm] with the part of me [F] that talks
I introduced [Gm] myself as Frank from New [Dm] York, _ _ [C] New _ York
[Bb] _ She's so [F] hot, she's so [C] cool, _ I'm [Dm] not dying
Just [C] a fool _ [Bb] in love [C] with _ _ [D] Darlene _ Lorraine
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
All my life I've been a _ wanderer
No, I, _ _ _ not really, [D] I mostly lived [C] near my parents' home
_ _ _ [Gm] Anyway, Lorraine and I got [C] married _ [Dm] and the usual [F] marriage stuff
_ Then [Gm] one day she says to me, from out of the blue, she [Dm] says
Frank, _ [F] I've had enough, [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
romance [F] is a heartbreaker
[C] _ I'm not meant [Dm] to be a homemaker
[C] And I'm tired [Bb] of _ [C] being _ _ [D] Darlene _ _ Lorraine _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] What?
You don't love [G] me anymore?
What?
[D] You're walking out the door?
[G] _ What?
[C] You don't [D] like the way I chew?
[G] _ Hey, [D] let me tell [G] you, you're not [C] the woman that I'm with
[G] You say you're depressed but [C] you're not, you just like to stay in bed
[G] _ [Dm] I don't [C] need you, Darlene [G] _ Lorraine
_ [C] _ _ [D] _
[C] Darlene Lorraine _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ Lorraine _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ I [E] long [Bb] for [Dm] your love _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Financially speaking, _ _ _ I guess I'm a washout _ _ _
Everybody's buying, selling, selling, buying
That's what [D] the whole thing's all about
[E] _ [C] _
If [Gm] it had not been for [C] Lorraine, [F] I'd have left here long ago
_ I should have [Gm] been a musician
_ I _ _ [Dm] love the piano
_ _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Bb] _ She's so [F] light, she's so [C] free
I'm tight, [Dm] well, [Bb] that's me
[C] But I feel [Bb] so [C] good with _ _ [D] Darlene Lorraine
_ _ On _ [A] _ _ _
Christmas morning, Frank [D] _ awakes
_ _ To [A] find Lorraine has made a stack [D] of pancakes
They _ _ _ [G] watch the _ television, [Em] _ _ husband [Bm] and wife
_ All _ [A] afternoon, _ _ _ it's a [D] wonderful _ [E]
night
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] What?
You don't love me [G] anymore?
[Dm] What?
[D] You're walking out the door?
[G] What? _
You [D] don't like the way I chew?
[G] _ [B] Hey, [D] let me tell you
[G] _ You're not [C] the woman that [G] I'm with
_ [Dm] Give me my [D] robe, I'm going back to bed
[G] _ I'm sick [F] to death of [G] you, _ [A] Lorraine
_ [D] _ _ _ [C] Darlene Lorraine
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
Lorraine
_ _ [Am] Her _ hands [E] _ _ like [Dm] _ _
wood
_ _ [F] _ [Gm] The doctor was smiling
_ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ But the news wasn't [Am] good
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Darlene Lorraine, please don't leave me yet
I know you're in pain, pain you can't forget
Your breathing is like an echo of our [D]
love
_ _ Maybe [Gm] I'll go [D] down to the corner store
[F] And buy something sweet
_ [C] Here's [Gm] an extra blanket, honey
To wrap [F] around your feet
_ _ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ All the trees [F] _ were [C] washed _ with April [Dm] rain
_ [C] And the moon [Bb] in the meadow
[C] _ _ _ _
[D] Darlene _ _ Lorraine _ _

_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
