Darling Lorraine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
The first time [Am]I saw her
I couldn't be sure
But the sin of impatience
Said, "She's just what
you're looking [G]for"
So I [Dm]walked right up to [G]her
And with [C]the part of me that talks
[G]I introduced mys[Dm]elf as Frank
From New [G]York, [C]New Yor[G]k[Gm]
[F]She's so hot
[C]She's so cool
[G]I'm not
[Am]I'm just a f[G]ool in l[F]ove
With [G]darling [Am]Lorraine

[Verse 2]
[Am]
All my life, I've been a wanderer
Not really, I mostly lived near
[G]my parents' home
[Dm]Anyway, Lorraine and I got [G]married
An[C]d the usual marriage stuff
[Am]Then one [G]day [Dm]she says to me
From out of the blue
She [G]says, "Frank,
[C]I've had eno[F]ugh
[C]Romance is a heart breaker
[G]I'm not meant to be a h[Am]omemaker
And [G]I'm tired [F]of being darling
[G]Lor[Am]raine"

[Interlude 1]
[A][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]What, you don't love me [Am]anymore?[D]
[Am]What, you're [G]walking out
[Am]the door?[D]
What, you don't [G]like the way I [Am]chew?[D]
Hey, let [G]me tell [Am]you
[D]You're not the[Am] wo [G]man that I wed[Am]
[D]You say you're depressed,
but you're not
You [G]just like to stay in [C]bed[G][D]
I don't need [G]you,
[C]darling Lor[G]rai[D]ne[G]
[C]Darling Lor[G]raine[C][Am][G]
[C]Lor[Am]raine[C]
[F]I l[Dm]ong for y[F]our
[Am]love

[Interlude 2]
[Am][Em][Am]

[Verse 4]
Financially [Am]speaking
I guess I'm a washout
Everybody's buy and sell,
and sell and buy
And that's what the whole
thing's [G]all about
If it [Dm]had not been for Lorraine
[G]I'd hav[C]e left here long ago
I [Am]should have [G]been a musi[Dm]cian
I [G]love [C]the piano
[F]She's so light
[C]She's so free
[G]I'm tight, wel[Am]l, that's me
But [G]I feel s[F]o good
With [G]darling Lor[Am]raine
[A]

[Verse 5]
[E]
On Christmas morning Frank [A]awakes
To find [E]Lorraine has made
a stack of pancakes
[A]They watch the[D] television,
[Bm]husb[A]and and wife[F#m]
All afternoon,
[E]"It's A Wonderful[A] Lif[Bm]e"

[Interlude 3]
[A][E][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]What, you don't love
me any[Am]more?[D]
[Am]What, you're [G]walking out the [Am]door?[D]
What, you don't [G]like the way I [Am]chew?[D]
Hey, [Am]let m[G]e tell y[Am]ou[G][D]
You're not the wo[G]man
that I [C]wed[G][D]
Gimme my robe, I'm [G]going back to bed
[D]I'm sick to [Am]deat[G]h of you,
Lor[D]raine[G]

[Verse 7]
Darling [G]Lorraine
Lorraine
[Am]Her hand[Bsus4]s like woo[B]d[Bm][C][Am][F]
The [Dm]doctor was smiling
[Bb]But [Dm]the n[F]ews[Am]
wasn't good
[Em][Am]

[Verse 8]
Darlin' Lorraine
Please don't leave me yet
I know you're in pain
Pain you can't forget
Your breathing is like an
echo of our [G]love
Maybe I'll [Dm]go down t[G]o the co[Dm]rner s[G]tore
And [C]buy us something [G]sweet
Here's an extra [Dm]blanket honey
To [G]wrap [C]around your [G]feet[C]
[F]All the[C] trees were washed
[G]with April rai[Am]n
And [G]the moon in the [F]meadow[G]
Took [Am]darling Lorraine
