Madame George Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

G C D

 Down on CyGprus Avenue

CWith a cDhildlike vision leaping iGnto view C

 ClDicking, clacking of the high heeled Gshoe

CFord and FDitzroy, Madame GGeorge C

DMarching with the Gsoldier boy behind C

 He's Dmuch older now wiGth hat on drinkingC wine

 And that sDmell of sweet perGfume comes drifting through

CThe cool nDight air like ShaGlimar

And outside they're making all the stops

The kids out in the street collecting bottle tops

Gone for cigarettes and matches in the shops

Happy taken Madame George

That's when you fall

Whoa, that's when you fall

Yeah, that's when you fall

When you fall into a trance

Sitting on a sofa playing games of chance

With your folded arms and history books you glance

Into the eyes of Madame George

And you think you found the bag

You're getting weaker and your knees begin to sag

In the corner playing dominoes in drag

The one and only Madame George

And then from outside the frosty window raps

She jumps up and says Lord have mercy I think that it's the cops

And immediately drops everything she gots

Down into the street below

And you know you gotta go

On that train from Dublin up to Sandy Row

Throwing pennies at the bridges down below

And the rain, hail, sleet, and snow

Say goodbye to Madame George

Dry your eye for Madame George

Wonder why for Madame George

And as you leave, the room is filled with music, laughing, music,

dancing, music all around the room

And all the little boys come around, walking away from it all

So cold

And as you're about to leave

She jumps up and says Hey love, you forgot your gloves

And the love that loves the love that loves the love that loves to love the love

that loves to love

To say goodbye to Madame George

Dry your eye for Madame George

Wonder why for Madame George

Dry your eyes for Madame George

Say goodbye in the wind and the rain on the back street

In the backstreet, in the back street

Say goodbye to Madame George

In the backstreet, in the back street, in the back street

Down home, down home in the back street

Gotta go

Say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Dry your eye your eye your eye your eye your eye...

Say goodbye to Madame George

And the loves to love to love the love...

Say goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye

Oooooo

Mmmmmmm

Say goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye to Madame George

Dry your eye for Madame George

Wonder why for Madame George

The love's to love the love's to love the love's to love...

Say goodbye, goodbye

Get on the train

Get on the train, the train, the train...

This is the train, this is the train...

Whoa, say goodbye, goodbye....

Get on the train, get on the train...
