Scarlet Begonias

B E B A B 4x 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
