Chords

[Verse 1]
                 Dm
The first time I saw her

Dm
I couldn´t be sure

Dm
But the sin of impatience

Dm                           C
Said She´s just what you´re looking for

     Gm
So I walked right up to her

Gm           F
And with the part of me that talks

               Gm
I introduced myself as Frank

             F
From New York, New York

Bb
 She´s so hot

F
 She´s so cool

C
 I´m not

C  Dm       C       Bb        C          Dm
I´m  just a fool in love with darling Lorraine
[Verse 2]
Dm
All my life I´ve been a wanderer

                                   Gm
Not really, I mostly lived near my parents´ home

Gm
Anyway Lorraine and I got married

        F
And the usual marriage stuff

                 Gm
Then one day she says to me

Gm
From out of the blue, she says

 F
"Frank, I´ve had enough

Bb        F
Romance is a heartbreaker

C                     Dm
I´m not meant to be a homemaker

        C        Bb    C       Dm
And I´m tired of being darling Lorraine"
[Chorus 1]
G                C          F    C
What - You don´t love me anymore?

G             C               F    C
What - You´re walking out the door?

G                C              F    C
What - You don´t like the way I chew?

G       C       F  C
Hey let me tell you

G              C            F  C
You´re not the woman that I wed

G                                            C                    F  C
You say you´re depressed but you´re not; you just like to stay in bed

G            C   F       C  G
I don´t need you darling Lorraine
C F C
C           F
Darling Lorraine

C    F
  Lorraine

Bb
I long for your love
Dm Am Dm [Verse 3]
Dm
Financially speaking

Dm
I guess I´m a washout

Dm
Everybody´s buy and sell

Dm
And sell and buy and

Dm
And that´s what the whole thing´s all about

              Gm
If it had not been for Lorraine

         F
I´d have left here long ago

                 Gm
I should have been a musician

           F
I love the piano

Bb
She´s so light,

F
She´s so free

C                     Dm
I´m tight, well, that´s me

        C        Bb
But I feel so good with

C       Dm
Darling Lorraine
[Bridge]
Dm A                        D
On Christmas morning Frank awakes

D         A                             D
To find Lorraine has made a stack of pancakes

D              G         Em            Bm
They watch the television, husband, and wife

Bm       A                     D     Fm
All afternoon   "It´s A Wonderful Life"
[Chorus 2]
G                C          F    C
What - You don´t love me anymore?

G             C               F    C
What - You´re walking out the door?

G                C              F    C
What - You don´t like the way I chew?

G       C       F  C
Hey let me tell you

G              C            F  C
You´re not the woman that I wed

G                    C      F      C
Gimmie my robe, I'm going back to bed

G            C        F       C    G
I'm sick to death of you Lorraine

C              F
Darling Lorraine

C  F
  Lorraine

Bb
Her hands like wood

Dm             Am
The doctor was smiling

                    Dm
But the news wasn´t good
Dm Am Dm [Verse 4]
Dm
Darling Lorraine

Dm
Please don´t leave me yet

Dm
I know you´re in pain

Dm
pain you can´t forget

Dm                                    C
Your breathing is like an echo of our love

           Gm
Maybe I´ll go down to the corner store

    F
And buy us something sweet

                Gm
Here´s an extra blanket honey

   F
To wrap around your feet

Gm      F                 C           Dm
All the trees were washed with April rain

        C           Bb
And the moon in the meadow

C            Dm
Took darling Lorraine
