Chords with Lyrics:

E B (Fill)

As I was walkin round grosvenor square

E B (Fill)

Not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air,

From the other direction, she was calling my eye,

It could be an illusion, but I might as well try, might as well try.

Intro Riff

E B (Fill)

She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes.

E B (Fill)

And I knew without askin she was into the blues.

She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls,

I knew right away she was not like other girls, other girls.

Intro Riff

Fill

E B (Fill)

In the thick of the evening when the dealing got rough,

E B (Fill)

She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff.

As I picked up my matches and was closing the door,

I had one of those flashes Id been there before, been there before.

Well, I aint always right but Ive never been wrong.

Seldom turns out the way it does in a song.

Once in a while you get shown the light

In the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Fill

E B (Fill)

Well there aint nothing wrong with the way she moves,

E B (Fill)

Scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues.

And theres nothing wrong with the look thats in her eyes,

I had to learn the hard way to let her pass by, I let her pass by

Intro Riff

Fill

E B (Fill)

Wind in the willows playin tea for two;

E B (Fill)

The sky was yellow and the sun was blue,

Strangers stoppin strangers just to shake their hand,

Everybodys playing in the heart of gold band, heart of gold band.
