Beautiful South

^G This is the dinner prepared
This is the ^Gmaj7 dress that I made
This is the c ^G7 hild I brought up
^E7 And this is the w ^Am oman you laid
^C This is the wo ^G man you laid
This is the per ^G fume I wore
This is the ^Gmaj7 hotel we stayed
This is the ^G7 way that I lay
^E7 And this is the w ^Am oman you laid
^C This is the wo ^G man you laid
^D We promised ourselves this is no one-night s ^Bm tand ^Eb
D Let us draw all the curtains and strike up the b ^Bm and ^Eb
D And I'm thrilled by the gentlest touch of your h ^Bm and ^Eb
We pr ^D7 etend
There's a t ^G ear, there's a ^Gmaj7 tear
^G7 Not through confusion through ^E7 fea ^Am r, through ^Cm fea ^G r
This is the sm ^G ile that I wore
This is the ^Gmaj7 song that we played
This is the ^G7 way that I lay
^E7 And this is the w ^Am oman you laid
^C This is the wo ^G man you laid
^D Next morning our eyes filled with sleepy re ^Bm gret ^Eb
D A kiss and good-bye and a long cig ^Bm arette ^Eb
D But the pillow I lay on is cold and it's ^Bm wet ^Eb
Can't pr ^D7 etend
It's a t ^G ear, it's a ^Gmaj7 tear
^G7 Not through confusion through ^E7 fe ^Am ar, through ^Cm fea ^G r
^Dm And knowing at least that love came so n ^G ear ^Bb
Dm Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed ^C tea ^G r
^{Gmaj7 G7 E7 Am Cm G D} Roll out the red carpets and unplug the p ^Bm hone ^Eb
D Root out the photos you've already s ^Bm hown ^Eb
D 'Cos this one night you won't sleep a ^Bm lone ^Eb
Just one n ^D7 ight
It's a t ^G ear, it's a ^Gmaj7 tear
^G7 Not through confusion through ^E7 fe ^Am ar, through ^Cm fea ^G r
^Dm And knowing at least that love came so n ^G ear ^Bb
Dm Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed ^C tea ^G r
^{Gmaj7 G7 E7 Am Cm G} There's a t ^G ear, there's a ^Gmaj7 tear
^G7 Not through confusion through ^E7 fe ^Am ar, through ^Cm fea ^G r
^G7 Not through confusion through ^E7 fe ^Am ar, through ^Cm fea ^G r
