The Ballad of Lucy Jordan * [C] - Dr Hook
C
C F C
The morning sun touched lightly on, the eyes of Lucy Jordan
G G7
In her white suburban bedroom, in a white suburban town,
C C7 F C
As she lay there beneath the covers, dreaming of a thousand lovers
G G7 C C7
Till the world turned to orange and the room went spinning round,
F C
At the age of 37, she realized she'd never ride through Paris
G Gsus4 G
In a sports car, with the warm wind in her hair
C C7 F C
And she let the phone keep ringing, as she sat there softly singing
G G7 F C C Csus4 C
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized in her daddy's easy chair
C C7 F C
Her husband, he was off to work, and the kids were off to school
G G7
And there were oh so many ways for her to spend her day,
C F C
She could clean the house for hours, or rearrange the flowers
G G7 G C C7
Or run naked down the shady street screaming all the way,
F C
At the age of 37, she realized she'd never ride through Paris
G Gsus4 G
In a sports car, with the warm wind in her hair
C C7 F C
And she let the phone keep ringing, as she sat there softly singing
G G7 F C C Csus4 C
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized in her daddy's easy chair
C F C
The evening sun touched gently on,the eyes of Lucy Jordan
G G7
On the rooftop where she'd climbed when all the laughter grew too loud,
C F C
And she bowed and curtseyed to the man, who reached and offered her his hand
G G7 C C7
And led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd,
F C
At the age of 37, she knew she'd found forever as they rode along through Paris
G Gsus4 G
With the warm wind in her hair
G7 C F C
Ooooohhh yes with the wind in her hair
G7 C F C
Ooooohhh yes with the wind in her hair..
