[Intro 1]
[A][Dm][G][A]
[Dm][G][D][G][C][Dm]
[C][Dm]
She was [C]quite old for her

[Verse 1]
[F]
young years and an [G]in tellect between
[C]As she slept beneath the [F]counterpane,
she [G]looked more like a [C]queen
And I said I'd never make
[F]her a [G]prostitute, her [C]love
As [D]she sat beneath the willow,
that portrait of [C]a dove[F][G][C]
[F][G][C][Dm][C]
[Dm]
I'm [C]liking your disciple [F]and the
[G]gospel of his word[C]s
I'm sitting in [F]your chestnut tree
with a flock of [G]humming[C]birds
And the people all around [F]me,
they [G]think I'm on the [C]bench
[D]But I think they're all crazy
and the war will never end
[C][F][G][C][F][G][C]
[Am][C][Am]
I think I'll
[C]try it for a [F]short time to [G]see if I forget
[C]The embers in the ash[F]tray
and the [G]smoking cigarettes
[C]And the memories of springtim[F]e,
now [G]winter's here again
[C]On [D]this virgin soil,
[A]I'm [D]standing in [C]the rain[F][G][C]
[F][G][C][Dm][C]
[Dm]
A [C]black museum [F]drove her on,
a [G]mustard smell of [C]age
My uncle stopped to [F]rang and sang,
he's sit[G]ting in his [C]cage
Please don't touch the port[F]er,
while [G]he's [C]fast asleep
They auction [Am]him on
Monday, [A]and they [D]say he's going cheap
[C][F][G][C][F][G]
[C][Dm][C][Dm]
[Am]
Scar[C]latti plays his [F]harpsichord
deep [G]into the [C]night
Flamenco
Gypsy
[F]Manitas who'd [G]never learn to [C]write
And the poetry of
[F]Dylan that [G]never seems quite [C]clear
The [D]silver candelabra and the cut glass
[C]chandelier[F][G][C][F]
[G][C][Dm][C]
[Dm]
Now [C]tell me [G]on reflec[F]tion the
[G]kind of man you [C]are
Well, she said,
how do you see [F]yourself in [G]your shiny car?
[C]By the way that others see you[F],
but [G]when they come to [C]call
You're [D]simulated, [Am]make -believe,
[D]stuck up [A]on the [D]wall[C][F][Dm][G][C][F]
[G][C][Dm][C]
[Dm][A]
[A]
You
