Thread Name: Chord Req: The Grand Affair? / Grande Affaire
Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Grand Affair
Take a bus, who needs a car Who needs here, close by the door I'm not very hungry now, are you Is it okay if I share yours with you Got no money and I'd think I believe that you knew Remember the moon on the water, how she shine The taste of the sheets and the feel of the wine Wasn't I glad that you were mine in the grand affair
Take a boat, or maybe a plane Anywhere now, except Greece or Spain For sure I know where I am I see canals, this is Amsterdam Friends here they know, they can say who I am Remember the room without any view Frightened we'd meet someone that we knew No farewells or how-do-you-dos in the grand affair
Now I stay at the best hotels And there's white coated waiters attend me And they look at them beautiful gals Do they really believe they can win me
I drive now, it's seldom I walk Speak French, but I'd rather not talk And which suit will I wear tonight Take out the brown, but in the end wear the white After shade stepping out, stepping into the light Remember the moon on the water, how she shine The year was all wrong, so we sent back the wine Ah, wasn't I glad that you were mine in the grand affair
