As
E
I was walking round Grosvenor
B
Square, not a
E
chill to the winter, but a nip
to the
B
air.
A
From the other di
E
rec
B
tion
A
she was calling my
E
eye.
A
It could be an
illu
E
si
B
on,
A
but I might as well
E
try, might as well
B
try. She
E
rings on her fingers
and bells on her
B
shoes, and I knew
E
without asking she was in to the
B
blues.
A
She wore scarlet be
E
gon
A
ias tucked into her
E
curls;
A
I knew right a
E
way
B
she was
A
not
like the other
E
girls, other
B
girls.
#repeat next verse with chords above from 'She had rings'
In the think of the evening
When the dealing got rough,
She was too pat to open
And too cool to bluff.
As I picked up my matches
And was cloing the door,
I had one of those flashes
Like I'd been there before,
been there before.
Well I
F#
ain't often right, but I've never been wrong;
B
seldom turns out the way
it
A
does in the
E
song.
F#
Once in a while you get shown the light in the
B
stangest
of places, if you
A
look at it right.
F#
A
B
Well, there
E
ain't nothin wrong with the way she
B
moves, or
E
scarlet begonias or
a touch of the
B
blues.
A
And there's nothing
E
wrong
B
with the look
A
that's in her
E
eye.
A
I had to learn the
E
hard
B
way
A
to let her pass
E
by, let her pass
B
by.
#Repeat the next verse with the chords of the previous
The wind in the willow's
Playing "Tea for Two".
The sky was yellow
And the sun was blue.
Stangers stopping stangers
Just to shake their hand;
Everybody is playing
In the heart of gold band, heart of gold band.
Speed
