It's late in the evening
C                         D
She's wondering what clothes to wear
G                  D/F#

And brushes her long blonde hair

We go a party
C                D
And everyone turns to see

         C           D
And the wonder of it all
             C             D

G                   D/F#
It's time to go home now
C                          D
And I've got an aching head
G                     D/F#
So I give her the car keys
C                   D
She helps me to bed

As I turn out the light
