[C] [C]
Verse 1:
You [C] talk like Marlene [Em] Dietrich And you [F] dance like Zizi Jean [G] Maire
Your [C] clothes are all made by [Em] Balmain
And there’s [F] diamonds and pearls in your [G] hair [G7-Em7-G]
You [C] live in a fancy a-[Em]partment On the [F] boulevard St Mi-[G]chel
Where you [C] keep your Rolling Stones [Em] records
And a [F] friend of Sacha Di-[G]stel [G7-Em7-G]
|Chorus:
|But [C] where do you go to my [Em] lovely [F] When you’re alone in your [G] bed?
|[C] Tell me the thoughts that sur-[Em]round you I [F] want to look inside your [G] head [G7-Em7-G]
Verse 2:
When you [C] go on your summer vac[Em]cation You [F] go to Juan-les-[G]Pins
With your [C] carefully designed topless [Em] swimsuit
You [F] get an even sun[G]tan, on your [G7] back, and on your [Em7] legs [G]
When [C] the snow falls you’re found in St [Em] Moritz With the [F] others of the jet [G] set
And you [C] sip your Napoleon [Em] brandy But you [F] never get your lips [G] wet [G7-Em7-G]
|Chorus:
|But [C] where do you go to my [Em] lovely [F] When you’re alone in your [G] bed?
|[C] Tell me the thoughts that sur-[Em]round you I [F] want to look inside your [G] head [G7-Em7-G]
Verse 3:
Your [C] name it is heard in high [Em] places You [F] know the Aga [G] Khan
He [C] sent you a racehorse for [Em] Christmas
And you [F] keep it just for [G] fun, for a [G7] laugh, a-ha-ha [Em7] ha [G]
I re-[C]member the back [Em] streets of Naples Two [F] children begging in [G] rags
Both [C] touched with a burning am-[Em]bition
To [F] shake off off their lowly born [G] tags, yes they [G7] try [Em7-G]
Verse 4:
You're [C] in between twenty and [Em] thirty, A [F] very desirable [G] age,
Your [C] body is firm and in-[Em]viting,
But you [F] live on a glittering [G] stage, yes you [G7] do, yes you [Em7] do [G]
So [C] look into my face Marie [Em] Claire
And [F] remember just who you [G] are
Then [C] go and forget me for-[Em]ever, but
I [F] know you still bear the [G] scar, deep [G7] inside, yes you [Em7] do [G]
|Chorus:
|I [C] know where you go to my [Em] lovely [F] When you’re alone in your [G] bed
|[C] I know the thoughts that sur-[Em]round you
|(*slow single strums) Cos [Dm] I can look [G] inside your [C] head
