As I was walkin' down Grosvenor Square,
E A B
Not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air,
A E B A E
From the other direction she was calling my eye,
A E B A E B
Could be an illusion but I might as well try, might as well try.
E A B
She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes,
E A B
And I knew without askin' she was into the blues.
A E B A E
She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls,
A E B A E B
I knew right away she was not like other girls, other girls.
E A B
In the heat of the evening when the dealin' got rough,
E A B
She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff.
A E B A E
As I picked up my matches and was closin' the door,
A E B A E B
I had one of those flashes, I' d been there before, been there before.

Well, I ain' t often right but I' ve never been wrong,
B A E
Seldom turns out the way it does in the song.

Once in a while you get shown the light
B A E F# A B
In the strangest of places if you look at it right.
E A B
Well, there ain' t nothin' wrong with the way she moves,
E A B
Her scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues.
A E B A E
And there' s nothing wrong with the look that' s in her eyes
A E B A E B
I had to learn the hard way to let her pass by, let her pass by.
E A B
The wind in the willow' s playing "Tea for Two,"
E A B
The sky was yellow and the sun was blue,
A E B A E
Strangers stopping strangers just to shake their hand,
A E B A E B
Everybody' s playing in the heart of gold band, heart of gold band.
