INTRO CHORDS (option to above:) E A E A B
E
Pretty soon you'll be able to remember her
A
Lying in the garden singing
C#m Ab9/C#*
Right where she'll always be
B/A A
The door is always open
E
This is the place that I loved her
A
And these are the friends that she had
C#m Ab9/C#
Long may the mountain ring
B/A A
To the sound of her laughter
B
And she goes on and on
CHORUS
E A B
In her soft wind I will whisper
E A B
In her warm sun I will glisten
E A B
Till we see her once again
A/C# B
In a world without end
We owe it all to Frank Sinatra
The song was playing as she walked into the room
After the long weekend
They were a lifetime together
Appearing in the eyes of children
In the clear blue mountain view
Colouring the sky
And painting ladders to heaven
And she goes on and on
CHORUS

INTRO: Am G (x 4)
Am G Am G Am G
Not everyone in New York would pay to see Andrew Lloyd Webber
Am G Am G Am G
May his trousers fall down as he bows to the queen and the crown
F
I don't know what tune that the orchestra played
D G E
But it went by me sickly and sentimental
Am D/F#*
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake
G
Tammy Baker's got a lot on her plate
Am D/F#
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake
G
Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave
Am G (x 4)
The band of the night take you to ethereal heights over dinner
You wander the streets never reaching the heights that you seek
And the sugar that dripped from the violins bow
Made the children go crazy, put a hole in the tooth of a hag
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake
Tammy Baker must be losing her faith
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake
Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave
Am
And the dogs are on the road
D
We're all tempting fate
Am
Cars are shooting by
D
With no number plates
E
And here comes Mrs. Hairy Legs
(Chords under harmonica solo) Am G
I saw Elvis Presley walk out of a Seven Eleven
And a woman gave birth to a baby and then bowled 257
The excess of fat on your American bones
Will cushion the impact as you sink like a stone
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake
Tammy Baker, Tammy Baker ...
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake
Cheap Picasso, cheap Picasso fake
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake
Kathy Straker, boy could she lose some weight
Can I buy another slice of real estate
Am G D/F# F
Liberace must be laughing in his grave
E A E A E A (repeat to fade)
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake

It's easy when you don't try
Going on first impressions
Man in a cage has made his confession

And it won't be the last time I'm down there
I want you to know I feel completely at ease
Read me like a book
That's fallen down between your knees
Please let me have my way with you
C#m
It's only natural that I should want to
G#m
Be there with you
C#m
It's only natural that you should
G#m B
feel the same way too

It's circumstantial, it's nothing written in the sky
A
And we don't even have to try ...
