E                  A         B             
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.


[Verse 2]

        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.


[Verse 3]

       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.


[Bridge]

       F#
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.
F#
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.


[Verse 4]

            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.


[Verse 5]

    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.
