Chords by twoputt@mac.com
Corrections are always welcome.
[Bbm]I was just thirty-four years old and I was still [Ab]wandering in a haze
[Gb]I was wondering why everyone I met seemed like they were [Eb]lost in a maze
[Bbm]I don't know why I thought I should have some kind of [Ab]divine right to the blues
[Gb]It's sympathy not tears people need when they're the [Eb]front page sad news
[Bb]The incense burned away and the [Eb]stench began to rise
And [Bb]lovers now estranged avoided [Eb]catching each others' eyes
[C7]And girls who lost their children cursed the [F7]men who fit the coil
And [C7]men not fit for marriage took their [F7]refuge in the oil
No-one [D7]respects the flame quite like the [G7]fool who's badly burned
From [D7]all this you'd imagine that there [G7]must be something learned...
[C7]Slit skirts, Jeanie isn't wearing those [F7]slit skirts
And I don't ever wear no [C7]ripped shirts
Can't pretend that growing older [F7]never hurts
[C7]Knee-pants, Jeanie never wears those [F7]knee-pants
We have to be so drunk to try a [C7]new dance
So afraid of every little [F7]romance...
[D]Slit skirts, slit skirts, Jeanie isn't wearing those
[D]Slit skirts, slit skirts, she wouldn't dare in those
[D]Slit skirts, slit skirts, wouldn't be seen dead in those [G7]slit skirts
[D]Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up [D]romance?
Why can't we drink it up [D]true heart romance?
Just need a brief new little [G7]romance...
[Bbm]Let me tell you some more about myself, you know I'm [Ab]sitting at home just now.
[Gb]The big events of the day have passed and the [Eb]late TV shows have come on.
[Bbm]I'm number one on the home team, but I [Ab]still feel unfulfilled.
[Gb]A silent voice in a broken heart complains that [Eb]I'm unskilled.
[Bb]And I know that when she thinks of me, she [Eb]thinks of me as him.
But [Bb]unlike me she don't workout her [Eb]frustrations in the gym.
[C7]Recriminations fester and the [F7]past can never change
[C7]A woman's expectations run from [F7]both ends of the range.
[D7]Once she walked with untamed lovers f[G7]ace between her legs,
[D7]Now he's cooled and stifled and it's [G7]she who has to beg...
[C7]Slit skirts, Jeanie isn't wearing those [F7]slit skirts
And I don't ever wear no [C7]ripped shirts
Can't pretend that growing older [F7]never hurts
[C7]Knee-pants, Jeanie never wears those [F7]knee-pants
We have to be so drunk to try a [C7]new dance
So afraid of every little [F7]romance...
[D]Slit skirts, slit skirts, Jeanie isn't wearing those
[D]Slit skirts, slit skirts, she wouldn't dare in those
[D]Slit skirts, slit skirts, wouldn't be seen dead in those [G7]slit skirts
[D]Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up [D]romance?
Why can't we drink it up [D]true heart romance?
Just need a brief new little [G7]romance...
SOLO (use D - D - D - G7 pattern)
