INTRO: A E A E A E
[A]Once under a [E]scarlet [F#m]sky [D]I t[A]old you ne[E]ver ending lies,
[E]But they were the words of a d[B]runken [D]vagabond[A]
[E]Who knew very well he would br[B]eak you[D]r heart b[A]efore long
[D]Oh forg[A]ive me G[E]enevieve.
[A]Now I've come [E]back to [F#m]see [D]Sweet [A]Lady G[E]enevieve,
[E]This time I'll give you some s[B]ecurity[D] [A]
[E]And I won't make promises I ca[B]n't kee[D]p
[D]So will you come back to[A] me
[D]Sweeeeee[B]eeeeeeet[E] Lady Genevieve[A]?[E] [A]
Let me [E]rock you, hold you,
[B]Take you i[D]n my arms.[A]
[E]Forgive me, please,
[C#]Smile away all your [F#m]sadness, [B]put your trust in [E]me.
[A]Oh if you come[E] back to[F#m] me Sweet[D] Lady [A]Genevi[E]eve,
[E]I'm not the impetuous f[B]ool you[D] used to [A]know
[E]I know that I used you [B]and I h[D]urt you s[A]o,
[D]But that was so long ago[A]
[D]Sweeeeee[B]eeeeeeet[E] Lady Genevieve[A].[E] [A] [E] [A] [E] [A]
[E]Oh, love me,
[B]Take me in[D] your arms[A].
[E]Let me rock you, hold you,
[C#]Smile away all your [F#m]sadness, [B]put your trust in [E]me.
[A]Once under a [E]starry s[F#m]ky [D]I l[A]ed you o[E]n and told you lies
[E]Drank too much whiskey on that[B] hot su[D]mmer nigh[A]t.
[E]I acted so slyly because you w[B]ere act[D]ing so sh[A]y,
[D]Oh forg[A]ive me G[E]enevieve.
[A]If you come ba[E]ck to me[F#m] [D] Sweet[A] Lady [E]Genevieve,
[E]You're not the child who smile[B]d so in[D]nocently[A]
[E]And I'm not the rogue that I u[B]sed to [D]be,
[D]So will you come back to[A] me
[D]Sweeeeee[B]eeeeeeet[E] Lady Genevieve[A]?[E] [A] [E] [A] [E] [A] [E]
[A]Oooooooo[E]ooooooooo[A]ooooh Ge[E]nevieve[A] [E] [A] [E]
[A]Oooooooo[E]ooooooooo[A]ooooh Ge[E]nevieve[A] [E] [A]
