Hope You Enjoy My Interpretation of
"Where Do You Go To My Lovely" :D

No Capo
Intro: C Em Dm G  x2



     C                   Em
You talk like Marlene Dietrich 
         Dm                 G
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire 
        C                     Em
Your clothes are all made by Balmain 
                Dm                        G   (stay on G)
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are 

      C                   Em
You live in a fancy apartment 
           Dm              G
Off the Boulevard Saint-Michel 
           C                         Em
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records 
         Dm               G  (stay on G)
And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes you do 

   C                       Em
But where do you go to my lovely 
  Dm                       G
When you're alone in your bed 
  C                               Em
Tell me the thoughts that surround you 
   Dm                       G (stay on G)
I want to look inside your head, yes I do 

      C                     Em
I've seen all your qualifications 
     Dm               G
You got from the Sorbonne 
        C                          Em
And the painting you stole from Picasso 
       Dm                   G  (stay on G)
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does 

      C                        Em
When you go on your summer vacation 
    Dm               G
You go to Juan-les-Pins 
       C                                Em
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit 
    Dm                         G  (stay on G)
You get an even suntan on your back and on your legs 

         C                                      Em
And when the snow falls you're found in Saint Moritz 
          Dm                G
With the others of the jet-set 
         C                    Em
And you sip your Napoleon brandy
         Dm                  G   (stay on G)
But you never get your lips wet, no you don't 

 C                           Em
But where do you go to my lovely
 Dm                        G
When you're alone in your bed 
   C                                         Em
Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you 
  Dm                         G  (stay on G)
I want to look inside your head, yes I do 

       C                          Em
Your name, it is heard in high places 
  Dm                G
You know the Aga Khan 
    C                             Em
He sent you a racehorse for Christmas 
         Dm                        G  (stay on G)
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, a-ha-ha-ha 

      C                       Em
They say that when you get married 
      Dm               G
It'll be to a millionaire 
         C                              Em
But they don't realize where you came from 
        Dm                   G   (stay on G)
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn 


  C                      Em
Where do you go to my lovely 
  Dm                       G
When you're alone in your bed 
  C                                 Em
Tell me the thoughts that surround you 
   Dm                        G  (stay on G)
I want to look inside your head, yes I do 

     C                           Em
I remember the back streets of Naples 
       Dm                G
Two children begging in rags 
        C                        Em
Both touched with a burning ambition 
       Dm                       G  (stay on G)
To shake off their lowly-born tags, so they try 

    C                         Em
So look into my face Marie-Claire 
       Dm                  G
And remember just who you are 
      C                    Em
Then go and forget me forever 
        Dm                       G   (stay on G)
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do 

    C                       Em
I know where you go to my lovely 
  Dm                       G
When you're alone in your bed 
    C                              Em
I know the thoughts that surround you 
   Dm                          G  (one strum)
'Cause I can look inside your head

            
               The End
