Chords with Lyrics:
E B (Fill)
As I was walkin round grosvenor square
E B (Fill)
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
It could be an illusion, but I might as well try, might as well try.
Intro Riff
E B (Fill)
She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes.
E B (Fill)
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
I knew right away she was not like other girls, other girls.

E B (Fill)
In the thick of the evening when the dealing got rough,
E B (Fill)
She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff.
A E B A E
As I picked up my matches and was closing the door,
A E B A E
I had one of those flashes Id been there before, been there before.
F
Well, I aint always right but Ive never been wrong.
B A
Seldom turns out the way it does in a song.
F
Once in a while you get shown the light
B A E
In the strangest of places if you look at it right.
Fill
E B (Fill)
Well there aint nothing wrong with the way she moves,
E B (Fill)
Scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues.
A E B A E
And theres nothing wrong with the look thats in her eyes,
A E B A E
I had to learn the hard way to let her pass by, I let her pass by
Intro Riff
Fill
E B (Fill)
Wind in the willows playin tea for two;
E B (Fill)
The sky was yellow and the sun was blue,
A E B A E
Strangers stoppin strangers just to shake their hand,

Everybodys playing in the heart of gold band, heart of gold band.
