Frangipanni was her flower | C/F9maj7/ | Fm / C / |
And amethyst her birthday stone | C / Em / | Bb / Am / |
The fairest blossom of the bower | Dm / / / |Ddim / / / |
She wasn't born to be alone | C / / / | E7 / / / |
But now she was terribly alone | F6 / / / | G13 / / / |
| C / / / | G7 / / / |
A Ford Cortina was the car | C/F9maj7/ | Fm / C / |
Eleven thirty-five the hour | C / Em / | Bb / Am / |
The squeak of gravel in the drive | Dm / / / |Ddim / / / |
Left the damsel in the tower | C / / / | E7 / / / |
Pondering her vanished power | F6 / / / | G13 / / / |
| C / / / | C7 / / / |
Always, everything had gone so well | F / / / | Fm / / / |
| C / / / | C / / / |
Her dolls had been the best | Dm / / / | Dm / / / |
She was better than the rest | Em / / / | Em / / / |
Always, everything had gone so well | F / / / | Fm / / / | C / / / |
The world at her behest | A7 / / / | D7 / / / | D7 / / / |
Had fed her from the breast | Em / / / | G9 / / / |

Always, everything had gone so well | F / / / | Fm / / / |
| C / / / | C / / / |
She was married all in white | Dm / / / | Dm / / / |
To a lad serenely trite | Em / / / | Em / / / |
Always, everything had gone so well | F / / / | Fm / / / | C / / / |
And on her wedding night | A7 / / / | D7 / / / | D7 / / / |
Things had more or less gone right | Em / / / | G9 / / / |
| Em / / / | G9 / / / |
| G / / / | G / / / |
By fairest fortune she was kissed | C/F9maj7/ | Fm / C / |
Frangipanni was her bloom | C / Em / | Bb / Am / |
A silver spoon was in her fist | Dm / / / |Ddim / / / |
Upon emerging from the womb | C / / / | E7 / / / |
Tonight she wrecked the room | Dm7 / / / | G13 / / / |
