[ch]G[/ch]\r\nClicking, clacking of the high heeled show;[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]         [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]G[/ch]      [ch]C[/ch]\r\n Ford and Fitzroy, Madame George.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                  [ch]G[/ch]\r\n Marching with the soldier boy behind;[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]          [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]G[/ch]\r\n He's much older now, with hat on, drinking wine.[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]         [ch]D[/ch]                  [ch]G[/ch]\r\n And that smell of sweet per-fume comes drifting through,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]    [ch]D[/ch]                   [ch]G[/ch]        [ch]C[/ch]  [ch]D[/ch]\r\n The cool night air like Shalimar.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 2]\r\n\r\n[tab]                    [ch]G[/ch]

[ch]G[/ch]      [ch]C[/ch]  [ch]D[/ch]\r\n Into the eyes of Madame George.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 4]\r\n\r\n[tab]        [ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd you think you found the bag;[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]               [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]G[/ch]\r\n You're getting weaker and your knees begin to sag.[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]G[/ch]\r\n In the corner, playing
