             G                                                                                                 D  
At last the kids are gone now for the day
          Em                                    C                                 G                                         D  
She reaches for the coffee as the school bus pulls away
G                                                                                      D  
Another day to tend the house and plan
          Em                              C                                            G                                         D  
For Friday at the Legion when she's dancing with her man
G                                                                         D  
Sure was a bitter winter but Friday will be fine
          Em                                                                                         C  
And maybe last year's Easter dress will serve her one more time
                G                                                                                    D  
She'd pass for twenty nine but for her eyes
          Em                                      C                 D              G  
But winter lines are telling wicked lies
          C      C/D      C/E      C/F      C/G  
All lies.    X            X            X         XXXX,
                          G                                                              D  
all those lines are telling wicked lies
Am    Am/B    Am/C    Am/D    C/E  
Lies,    x            x         all      lies(XXX)
G  
Too many lines there in that face
          A                                                            C                            D                                      G  
Too many to erase or to dis guise, they must be telling lies
Second verse
        G                                                                                         D  
Is this the face that won for her the man
                Em                                         C                                         G                                 D  
Whose amazed and clumsy fingers put that ring upon her hand
        G                                                                                         D  
No need to search that mirror for the years
        Em                                      C                                    G                                              D  
The menace in their message shouts across the blur of tears
        G                                                                            D  
So this is beauty's finish! Like Rodin's "Belle Heaulmie're"
          Em                                                                                 C  
The pretty maiden trapped inside the ranch wife's toil and care
                G                                                                      D  
Well, after seven kids, that's no surprise
          Em                                 C              D                    G  
But why cannot her mirror tell her lies
(Chorus)
G                                                                                                    D  
Then she shakes off the bitter web she wove
          Em                                      C                                      G                                         D  
And turns to set the mirror, gently, face down by the stove
          G                                                                      D  
She gathers up her apron in her hand
Em                                 C                                 G                                              D  
Pours a cup of coffee, drips Carnation from the can
          G                                                                              D  
And thinks ahead to Friday, 'cause Friday will be fine!
                  Em                                                                                         C  
She'll look up in that weathered face that loves hers, line for line
        G                                                                              D  
To see that maiden shining in his eyes
          Em                                      C              D                      G  
And laugh at how her mirror tells her lies
(Chorus one more time)
