Only A Glass Of Champagne Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[B]Her[Ebdim]e is a pi[G]ctu[A]re[Baug][C]
[G]of a man and a girl,
[Ebdim]Strolling along [G]in the shade.
[C]He is [Cm]a mock with the [Baug]son of an [G]earl,
[Am]She is a [D]pure village [G]maid.
He [Em]tells her he [A]loves her again and [Dm]again,
[Ddim]she thinks [G]he's loyal [C]an d true.
And then [A]comes the night
when he [G]gives her [E]champagne,
[Em]and does [Am]what he [D]ought not to [G]do.[Em]
[G]Only [C]a g[Ebdim]lass of champagn[Dm]e,
[G]but it led [Dm]a poor [G]girl into sin.
[C]Only a gla[B]ss of cha[Baug]mpagne,
[Em]was the door where[Am] the
dev[D]il crept [G]in .
It's such an old [C]story,
[F]it's always the same.
[Dm]Like every poor [D]moth,
she flew to [G]near the flame.
She opened [Abdim]her wings,
and she [A]lost her [D]good name
[Dm]All through a [G]glass of champagne.
[C]Think of her fut[A]ure,
the [G]sorrow, the shame,
Neither a [Ebdim]maiden nor [Dm]a wife.[G]
[C]Think of her [Cm]parents
[Ebdim]who gave [G]her the name
that she [Am]has dis[D]honored [G]for life.
[Em]What will [A]become of her turned
and re[Dm]viled into [Ddim]obli vi[G]on her[C]?
And what can she [C#]of fer
[G]her fath[D]erless [Dm]child
[E]that [F]she has brought [D]into the [G]world?
[Em]Only[C] a gla[Ebdim]ss of champagne[D]
[G]but it led [Dm]a poor [G]girl [C]into sin.
[Em]Only [Baug]a glass of [Em]champagne
was the [Am]door where
[D]the devil crept [G]in .
She lost [C]her honour [F]in sorrow and shame
and with [D]her false lover she
pleaded [G]in vain.
But [Abdim]by the next morning,
she'd lost [A]it again.[D]
[Dm]All through her [G]life,
for the child's [C]sake.
