Ab/Bb | Ebmaj7 |
She was a | showgirl |
| Am7b5 | D7 |
But that was | thirty years a | go |
| Gm7 |
When they | used to have a show |
Ab/Bb | Ebmaj7 |
But not for | Lola |
| Am7b5 | D7 |
Still in the | dress she used to | wear |
| Gm7 |
Faded | feathers in her hair |
| Cdim7 | D7 | Gm |
She sits there | so | re | fined |
| Cdim7 | D7 | Gm |
And drinks her | self | half- | blind |
