Where do you go my lovely (1969) (midi)
C Em F G
1. You talk like Marlene Dietrich, and you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire,
C Em
your clothes are all made by Balmain,
Dm G G7 – G – G7
and there`s diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes, there are !
C Em F G
2. You live in a fancy appartement of the Boulevard of St. Michel,
C Em
where you keep your Rolling Stones records
Dm G G7 – G – G7
and a friend of Sacha Distel, yes, you do !
C Em F G
3. But where do you go to my lovely, when you're alone in your bed ?
C Em
Tell me the thoughts that surround you,
Dm G G7 – G – G7
I want to look inside your head ! Yes, I do !
C Em F G
4. I've seen all your qualifications you got from the Sorbonne,
C Em
and the painting you stole from Picasso,
Dm G G7 – G – G7
your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does !
C Em F G
5. When you go on your summer vacation, you go to Juan-les-Pins,
C Em
with your carefully designed topless swimsuit,
Dm G G7 G – G7
you get an even suntan, on your back and on your legs .
C Em F G
6. But where do you go to my lovely, when you're alone in your bed ?
C Em
Tell me the thoughts that surround you,
Dm G G7 – G – G7
I want to look inside your head ! Yes, I do !
C Em F G
7. They say that, when you get married, it'll be to a millionaire,
C Em
but they don't realize where you came from,
Dm G G7 G – G7
and I wonder if they really care, or give a damn, you never know.
C Em F G
8. I remember the back streets of Naples, two children begging in rags,
C Em
both touched with a burning ambition
Dm G G7 – G – G7
to shake off their lowly brown tags, they try !
C Em F G
9. So look into my face Marie-Claire and remember just who you are,
C Em
then go and forget me forever
Dm G G7 G – G7
but I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do !
C Em F G
10. I know where you go to my lovely, when you're alone in your bed,
C Em
I know the thoughts that surround you,
Dm G C
`cause I can look inside your head.
