    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 curtsied 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......
