The Ballad of Lucy Jordan chords
Start Jamming...
[A] The morning sun touched lightly on the [D] eyes of Lucy [A] Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom, in a white suburban [E] town
As she [A] lay beneath the covers, dreaming [D] of a thousand [A] lovers
Till the world [E] turned orange and the room went spinning [A] round
At [D]
the age of thirty-seven, [A] she realized
She'd never ride through Paris in a sports car
With the warm wind in her [E] hair
So [A] she let the phone keep ringing [D] and sat there softly [A] singing
[E] Little [A] nursery rhymes she'd memorize [E] in her daddy's [A] easy chair
Her husband is off to work [D] and the kids were off to [A] school
And there were also my ways for [E] her to spend the day
She [A] could clean the house for hours [D] or rearrange the [A] flowers
Or run [E] naked through the shady streets
Screaming out [A]
[D] at the age of thirty [A]-seven, she realized
She'd never ride through Paris in a sports car
With the warm wind in [E] her hair
So [A] she let the phone keep ringing [D] and sat there [A] softly singing
Little nursery [E] rhymes she'd memorize in her daddy's [A] easy chair
The evening sun shines gently on [Dm] the eyes of [A] Lucy Jordan
On the rooftop where she climbed when the laughter grew [E] too loud
[A] Then she bowed in curtsy to the man [D] who reached enough [A] but her his hand
And he led her [E] down to the long [A] white car that waited past the crowd
At [D] the age of thirty-seven, [A] she knew she'd found forever
She rode along through Paris with the warm wind [E] in her hair
Little nursery rhymes she'd
