date: 95/10/15
^E The morning sun touched gently on ^E7
the e ^A yes of Lucy Jo ^E rdan
in a white suburban bedroom
in a wh ^B ite suburban town. ^B7
As she l ^E ay there 'neath the covers ^E7
dreaming ^A of a thousand lo ^E vers
till the wo ^B rld turned to orange ^B7
and the room went spinning ro ^E und. ^E7
At the a ^A ge of thirty-seven
she rea ^E lized she'd never ride
through Paris in a sports car
with the worm wind in her h ^B air.
So she l ^E et the phone keep ringing ^E7
as she s ^A at there softly sin ^E ging
the nur ^B sery rhymes she'd memorize
in her da ^A ddy's easy ch ^E air.
Her husband is off to work ^E7
and the k ^A ids are off to sc ^E hool
and there were oh so many ways
for h ^B er to spend a day. ^B7
She could cl ^E ean the house for hours ^E7
or ^A re-arrange the flo ^E wers
or m ^B ake it through the shady stream
screaming all the w ^E ay.
At the a ^A ge of thirty-seven
she rea ^E lized she'd never ride
through Paris in a sports car
with the worm wind in her h ^B air.
So she l ^E et the phone keep ringing ^E7
as she s ^A at there softly sin ^E ging
the nur ^B sery rhymes she'd memorize
in her da ^A ddy's easy ch ^E air.
The evening sun touched gently on ^E7
the e ^A yes of Lucy Jo ^E rdan
on the roof top where she climbed
when all the laughter grew too l ^B oud. ^B7
And she bo ^E wed and cursed to the man (? ^E7 )
who rea ^A ched out ... off to h ^E er his hands (?)
and l ^B ed her down to a long white car (?)
that waited, past the cr ^E owd. ^E7
At the a ^A ge of thirty-seven
she k ^E new that she'd found heaven
as she rode along through Paris
with the worm wind in her h ^B air.
