Capo 5th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
She said,
Come in my dear,
You're looking tired tonight
Your bath is drawn, let me loosen your tie
And fix you your usual drink
____Verse: 2
He settles back,
Takes a magazine,
Kicks off his shoes, as he studies the form
[A7-9]
Of every appealing soubrette
____Chorus: 1
But where are the flowers that he used to bring
With every endearing remark
Reminds her of passionate promises,
That he only made in the dark, in her bed,
She wants to shout at the back of his head
Look at me, look at me, look at me I'm afraid
I'm just your Mistress and Maid.
____Verse: 3
The wine is warm
But the dinner is cold
The look in his eye tells her it won't be long
[A7-9]
'till the girls on the page come to life
____Chorus: 2
And they'll get the flowers that he used to bring
With every endearing remark,
And all of the passionate promises
He'll never fulfill in the dark, in their bed,
She wants to shout at the back of his head
Look at me, look at me, now that I'm not afraid.
See what it's come to,
I'm not your mistress and maid.
See what it's come to,
I'm not your mistress and maid, *oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh* (Repeat *-*)
*Mistress and maid (Repeat * 4 times)
