    D                                  G            D
The morning sun touched lightly on the eyes of Lucy Jordan 
                                    A                  A Asus4 A
In her white suburban bedroom, in a white suburban town 
       D                                      G             D
As she lay there beneath the covers, dreaming of a thousand lovers 
         A               A7             A         A7       D
Till the world turned to orange and the room went spinning round 

       G              D
At the age of 37, she realized she'd never ride through Paris
                                           A   Asus4 A
In a sports car, with the warm wind in her hair 
        D                                 G                D
And she let the phone keep ringing as she sat there softly singing 
       A                    A7               A       A7   D
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized in her daddy's easy chair 

    D                                    G                D
Her husband, he was off to work, and the kids were off to school 
                                   A                A7
And there were oh so many ways for her to spend her day 
          D                             G             D
She could clean the house for hours, or rearrange the flowers 
       A              A7           A         A7      D        
Or run naked down the shady street screaming all the way 

       G              D
At the age of 37, she realized she'd never ride through Paris
                                           A   Asus4 A
In a sports car, with the warm wind in her hair 
        D                                  G                D
And she let that phone keep ringing as she sat there softly singing 
       A                    A7               A       A7   D    D Dsus4 D
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized in her daddy's easy chair 

    D                                 G            D
The evening sun touched gently on the eyes of Lucy Jordan 
                                                                  A    Asus4 A
On the rooftop where she'd climbed when all the laughter grew too loud 
        D                                   G                           D
And she bowed and curtseyed to the man, who reached and offered her his hand 
    A                   A7                  A      A7       D
And led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd 

       G              D
At the age of 37, she knew she'd found forever as they rode along through Paris 
                          A   Asus4 A
With the warm wind in her hair 
                      G           D                   D Dsus4 D
Ooooohhh yes with the wind in her hair oooooohhhh......
