(G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
Verse 1
Down (G major) on Cyprus Avenue
(C major) With a child (D major) like vision leaping into (G major) view
(C major) Clicking (D major) clacking of the high heeled (G major) shoe
(C major) Ford and (D major) Fitzroy, and Madame (G major) George
(C major) (D major) Marching with the (G major) soldier boy behind
(C major) He's much (D major) older now
with hat (G major) on drinking wine
(C major) And that (D major) smell of sweet per (G major) fume
comes drifting through
(C major) All the (D major) cool night air like Shalimar (G major) (C major) (D major)

Verse 2
And outside (G major) they're making all the stops
(C major) The kids out (D major) in the street
col (G major) lecting bottle-tops
(C major) Gone (D major) for cigarettes
and (G major) matches in the shops
(C major) Hap (D major) py taken Madame George (G major)
(C major) Woah, (D major) that's when you fall (G major)
Woah-wo-wo-wo-wo- (C major) woah (D major)
That's when you (G major) fall
(C major) Yeah, (D major) that's when you fall (G major) (C major) (D major)
Verse 3
When you (G major) fall into a trance
(C major) A sitting (D major) on a sofa
play (G major) ing games of chance
(C major) With your (D major) folded arms
and (G major) history books you glance
(C major) Into the (D major) eyes of Madame (G major) George (C major) (D major)
And you (G major) think you found the bag
(C major) You're getting (D major) weaker
and your (G major) knees begin to sag
(C major) In a (D major) corner playing (G major) dominoes in drag
(C major) The one and (D major) only Madame George (G major)
(C major) Then from (D major) outside
Verse 4
(G major) The frosty window raps
(C major) She jumps up and (D major) says
"Lord, have (G major) mercy I think that it's the cops"
(C major) And (D major) immediately
(G major) drops everything she gots
(C major) Down (D major) into the street (G major) below (C major) (D major)
And you (G major) know you gotta go
(C major) On that (D major) train from Dublin (G major) up to Sandy Row
(C major) Throw (D major) ing pennies
at the (G major) bridges down below
(C major) And the (D major) rain, hail, sleet, and (G major) snow (C major)
Say (D major) goodbye to Madame
Bridge 1
(G major) George
(C major) Dry (D major) your eye for Madame (G major) George
(C major) Wonder (D major) why for Madame (G major) George
(C major) Woah (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
And as you (G major) leave, the room is filled with music
(C major) Laughing, music, (D major) dancing, music
(G major) all around the room
(C major) And (D major) all the little boys
(G major) come around, walking a (C major) way from it all (D major)
So (G major) cold (C major) (D major)
Verse 5
And as you're (G major) about to leave
(C major) She jumps up and (D major) says "Hey love
(G major) You forgot your (C major) gloves, and (D major)
The love (G major) that loves
the love that loves the love
That loves the love (C major) that loves to love
The (D major) love that loves to love the love,
(G major) the gloves"
(C major) To say (D major) goodbye to Madame (G major) George
(C major) Dry (D major) your eye for Madame (G major) George
(C major) Wonder (D major) why for Madame (G major) George
(C major) Dry (D major) your eyes for Madame (G major) George (C major) (D major)
Verse 6
(G major) Say goodbye (C major) (D major)
In the wind and the (G major) rain
on the backstreet (C major) (D major)
(G major) In the backstreet, in the backstreet
(C major) Say good (D major) bye to Madame (G major) George (C major) (D major)
(G major) In the backstreet, in the backstreet,
in the backstreet
(C major) (D major) Woah-oh, (G major) yeah-woah
Down (C major) home,
(D major) down home in the (G major) backstreet (C major) (D major)
(G major) Gotta go
(C major) (D major) Say goodbye, good (G major) bye, goodbye, goodbye
(C major) (D major) Dry your eye, your eye, your eye, your (G major) eye
Your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye
Your eye, your eye, your eye, your (C major) eye
Your eye, your eye, your eye, your (D major) eye
Your eye, your eye, your eye, your (G major) eye (C major)
(D major) Say goodbye to Madame George
