Tab by Aatvza

[Intro]

C Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7

I’m discontented with homes that I rented

Cmaj7 Dm7 Em7 Bbdim7

So I have invented my own

Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7 Bm7

Darling this place is a lovers' o- asis

Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7 F#dim7

Where life’s weary chase is unknown

Fmaj7 G7 Cmaj7 Am7

Far from the cry of the city

Bm7-5 E7 Bbdim7 Am7 D7

Where flowers pretty caress the streams

C Dm7 Em7 Fmaj7

Cosy to hide in, to sit side by side in

Cmaj7 Dm7 Cmaj9

So let it abide in my dream

Cmaj9 Dm7 Em7 Edim7

[Verse 1]

Dm9 G7 Dm9 G7 G#dim7

Picture you upon my knee,

Cmaj7 C6 Em7 Bbdim7

Tea for two and two for tea;

Dm9 G7 Dm9 G7 Cmaj7 Dm7 Em7 Fdim7

Just me for you and you for me alone.

[Verse 2]

F#m7 B7 F#m7 B7 Ebdim7

Nobody near us to see us or hear us,

Emaj9 E6 Emaj9 Fdim7

No friends or relations on weekend vacations,

F#m7 B7

We won't have it known,

F#m7 B7 Emaj9 Am7 D7

That we own a tele- phone______;

[Verse 3]

Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7

Day will break, and you'll awake,

Cmaj7 Dm7 Em7 Bbdim7

And start to bake a sugar cake;

Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 A7 Fdim7 A7

For me to take for all the boys to see.

[Verse 4]

Dm7 Em7 A+ A7

We will raise a fami- ly,

Dbdim7 Dm Fm G7

A boy for you, a girl for me,

Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 C#9 Cmaj9

Oh, can't you see how happy we would be?
