G
A strange thing happen just the other day
Bm
I was daydreaming about come what may
C
I happened upon a market stall
G D
I stopped to see if there was anything of interest at all
G
When I found what I wanted we haggled for a while
Bm
I took out my purse so I could pay him in style
C
But a lady behind me with her nose in the air
G D
Said, “I don’t suppose you’ve more than fifty pence in there,”
Bridge
Em
Well I said to the lady with a glint in my eye
C
“Don’t be fooled because my clothes don’t comply,”
Em
And I said to the lady with a twinkle in my eye
D
“Don’t let the purse of riches pass you by,”
Chorus
Cmaj7
Out flew a butterfly then a dove
Gmaj7 D6
And all the heavens rang with love
Db6 C6 D9
I could hear the trickling of a stream
Gmaj7
And a child telling Daddy of last nights dream
Eb6
And I said to the lady, “I have riches here,
Gmaj7 D6
So come a little close now don’t you fear
Cmaj7 D7 G
I found love.”
Verse 2
The woman looked at me with true surprise
She hadn’t a clue what I’d implied
She hitched her crocodile bag up onto her shoulder
And straightened her fur to make her look bolder
I smiled sweetly and offered my hand
To show her my gifts, help her understand
And as puzzlement shrouded her eyes for a flash
She calculated how she could by them with cash
