[Intro]
C Em F G C Em Dm G
[Verse 1]
C Em
You talk like Marlene Dietrich
F G
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
C Em
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
Dm G G7 G
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are
C Em
You live in a fancy apartment
F G
Off the Boulevard Saint-Michel
C Em
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
Dm G G7 G
And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes you do
[Chorus]
C Em
But where do you go to my lovely
F G
When you're alone in your bed
C Em
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
Dm G G7 G
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
[Verse 2]
C Em
I've seen all your qualifications
F G
You got from the Sorbonne
C Em
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Dm G G7 G
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does
C Em
When you go on your summer vacation
F G
You go to Juan-les-Pins
C Em
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
Dm G G7 G
You get an even suntan on your back and on your legs
[Pre-Chorus]
C Em
And when the snow falls you're found in Saint Moritz
F G
With the others of the jet-set
C Em
And you sip your Napoleon brandy
Dm G G7 G
But you never get your lips wet, no you don't
[Chorus]
C Em
But where do you go to my lovely
F G
When you're alone in your bed
C Em
Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you
Dm G G7 G
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
[Verse 3]
C Em
Your name, it is heard in high places
F G
You know the Aga Khan
C Em
He sent you a racehorse for Christmas
Dm G G7 G
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, a-ha-ha-ha
C Em
They say that when you get married
F G
It'll be to a millionaire
C Em
But they don't realize where you came from
Dm G G7 G
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn
[Chorus]
C Em
Where do you go to my lovely
F G
When you're alone in your bed
C Em
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
Dm G G7 G
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
[Verse 4]
C Em
I remember the back streets of Naples
F G
Two children begging in rags
C Em
Both touched with a burning ambition
Dm G G7 G
To shake off their lowly-born tags, so they try
C Em
So look into my face Marie-Claire
F G
And remember just who you are
C Em
Then go and forget me forever
Dm G G7 G
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do
[Outro]
C Em
I know where you go to my lovely
F G
When you're alone in your bed
C Em
I know the thoughts that surround you
Dm F G (one strum)
'Cause I can look inside your head
C Em F G C Em Dm G
Thank You
