[Verse 1]
   E                    A         B
As I was walkin' 'round Grosvenor Square
      E                         A          B
Not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air,
A                E  B     A                  E
From the other direction, she was calling my eye,
A                E B     A                   E                  B
It could be an illusion, but I might as well try, might as well try.
 
[Verse 2]
E                                A            B
She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes.
E                                 A        B
And I knew without askin' she was into the blues.
A                E   B    A               E
She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls,
A               E B       A              E      B
I knew right away she was not like other girls, other girls.
 
[Verse 3]
E                                    A           B
In the thick of the evening when the dealing got rough,
        E                       A       B
She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff.
A                  E  B   A                   E
As I picked up my matches and was closing the door,
A                  E  B    A              E                  B
I had one of those flashes I'd been there before, been there before.
 
[Bridge]
       F#
Well, I ain't often right but I've never been wrong,
B                           A           E
Seldom turns out the way it does in the song.
F#
Once in a while you get shown the light
       B                          A          E       F#    A    B
In the strangest of places if you look at it right.
 
[Verse 4]
E                                       A       B
Well there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves,
E                     A            B
Scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues.
A                   E     B    A                      E
And there's nothing wrong with the look that's in her eyes,
A                  E    B   A               E                 B
I had to learn the hard way to let her pass by, let her pass by
 
[Verse 5]
    E                             A       B
The wind in the willow's playin' "Tea for Two";
    E                      A       B
The sky was yellow and the sun was blue,
A                  E     B    A                   E
Strangers stoppin' strangers just to shake their hand,
A           E  B    A                    E                   B
Everybody's playin’ in the heart of gold band, heart of gold band.
