C                     D
The days of wine and roses

      G       B7     Em
Are distant days for me

   C                              D
I dream of the last and the next affair

And of girls I'll never see
[Chorus]

Tonight I trod in the starlight

  G           B7         Em
I excused myself with a grin

   C                       D
I ponder the moon in a silver spoon

     Bm             Em   Em7/D  A
And the little one 'live within
[Chorus]

The magazine girl poses

  G           B7         Em
On my glossy paper aeroplane

  C                       D
Too many years I spent in the city

       Bm             Em   Em7/D  A
Playing with Mr. Loss and Gain
[Chorus]

I bathe in the sun of the morning

   G           B7         Em
Lemon circles swim in the tea

    C                            D
Fishing for time with a wishing line

          Bm           Em   Em7/D  A
And throwing it back in the sea
[Chorus]
