Verse 1
(A minor) Back in the day
you had been (F major) part of the smart set
(G major) You'd holidayed with kings,
(C major) dined out with starlets
(F major) From London to New York,
Cap (D minor) Ferrat to Capri
(A minor) In perfume by Chanel
and (E major) clothes by Givenchy
You (A minor) sipped Camparis with (F major) David and Peter
(G major) At Noel's parties (C major) by Lake Geneva
(F major) Scaling the dizzy heights of (D minor) high society
(A minor) Armed only with a chequebook
(E major) and a family tree

Chorus 1
You (F major) chased the sun around the (G major) Cote D'Azur
(C major) Until the light of youth be (C major) came obscured
(F major) And left you on your own
and (G major) in the shade
(B flat major) An English lady of a (D minor) certain (E major) age
(F major) And if a nice young man
would (G major) buy you a drink
(C major) You'd say with a conspira (C major) torial wink
(F major) "You wouldn't think that I was (F minor) seventy"
(G major) And he'd say "No, you (A minor) couldn't be!"
Verse 2
(A minor) You had to marry someone (F major) very very rich
(G major) So that you might be kept
(C major) in the style to which
(F major) You had all of your life (D minor) been accustomed to
(A minor) But that the socialists
had (E major) taxed away from you
You (A minor) gave him children, a (F major) girl and a boy
(G major) To keep your sanity a (C major) nanny was employed
(F major) And when the time came
they were (D minor) sent away
(A minor) Well that was simply
what you (E major) did in those days
Chorus 2
You (F major) chased the sun around the (G major) Cote D'Azur
(C major) Until the light of youth be (C major) came obscured
(F major) And left you on your own
and (G major) in the shade
(B flat major) An English lady of a (D minor) certain (E major) age
(F major) And if a nice young man
would (G major) buy you a drink
(C major) You'd say with a conspira (C major) torial wink
(F major) "You wouldn't think that I was (F minor) sixty-three"
(G major) And he'd say "No, you (A minor) couldn't be!"
Verse 3
(A minor) Your son's in stocks and bonds
and (F major) lives back in Surrey
(G major) Flies down once in a while, (C major) leaves in a hurry
(F major) Your daughter never finished
(D minor) her finishing school
(A minor) Married a strange young man
of (E major) whom you don't approve
Your (A minor) husband's hollow heart
gave (F major) out one Christmas Day
(G major) He left the villa to his (C major) mistress in Marseille
(F major) And so you come here
to es (D minor) cape your little flat
(A minor) Hoping that someone will fill your (E major) glass

(F major) You chased the sun around the (G major) Cote D'Azur
(C major) Until the light of youth be (C major) came obscured
(F major) And left you on your own
and (G major) in the shade
(B flat major) An English lady of a (D minor) certain (E major) age
(F major) And if a nice young man
would (G major) buy you a drink
(C major) You'd say with a conspira (C major) torial wink
