Tom: Am
Am
[Verse 1]
C D Am C D
Sad song of Frenchtown, harmony and rhyme
Am C D Am
Blind man walks the street, silver cane beating out time
C D Em F E D
Saxophone plays a haunting tune
E Am C D Am
Magnolia blossom, heavy perfume
[Verse 2]
C D Am C D
He stands by the window, looking out at the street
Am C D Am
A dark-skinned lady lies in his bed, restless in the heat
C D Em F E D
She smiles in her sleep and quietly sighs
E Am C D Am F
Hanging on to promises and lovers' lies
[Chorus]
D Em
Two old lovers trying to make it again
F D
Just like it used to be, way back when
Em
Somehow he loved her, but it all went wrong
F G Am C
They just ran out of time, they couldn't wait that long
D Am
They couldn't wait that long
[Instrumental]
G F D Em F D Em F G
Am C D Am C D
[Verse 3]
Am C D Am C D
He turns from the window and watches her sleep
Am C D Am
Same loving feeling, old love runs deep
C D Em F E
The shadows are fading, the sun is starting to rise
D E Am C D Am F
He lies beside her and kisses her eyes
[Chorus]
D Em
Two old lovers trying to make it again
F D
Just like it used to be, way back when
Em
Somehow he loved her, but it all went wrong
F G Am C D Am C D Am
They just ran out of time, they couldn't wait that long
[Verse 4]
C D Am C D
Sad song of Frenchtown, harmony and rhyme
Am C D Am
Blind man walks the street, silver cane beating out time
C D Em F E D
A saxophone plays a haunting tune
E Am
Magnolia blossom, heavy perfume
