[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Down on Cyprus Avenue
[C]With a childlik[D]e vision leaping int[G]o view
[C]Clicking cla[D]cking of the high heeled sho[G]e
[C]Ford and Fit[D]zroy, and Madame Geo[G]rge
[C]Mar[D]ching with the so[G]ldier boy behind
[C]He's much old[D]er now
with [G]hat on drinking wine
[C]And that sme[D]ll of sweet perfum[G]e
comes drifting through
[C]All the coo[D]l night air like Sha[G]limar[C][D]

[Verse 2]
And [G]outside they're making all the stops
[C]The kids out[D] in the street
col[G]lecting bottle-tops
[C]Gon[D]e for cigarettes
and [G]matches in the shops
[C]Happy [D]taken Madame Geo[G]rge
[C]Woa[D]h, that's when you fal[G]l
Woah-wo-wo-wo-wo- [C]woah[D]
That's when you [G]fall
[C]Yea[D]h, that's when you fal[G]l[C][D]

[Verse 3]
When you [G]fall into a trance
[C]A sitting on [D]a sofa
play[G]ing games of chance
[C]With your fol[D]ded arms
and [G]history books you glance
[C]Into the eye[D]s of Madame Geo[G]rge[C][D]
And you [G]think you found the bag
[C]You're getting wea[D]ker
and your [G]knees begin to sag
[C]In a cor[D]ner playing dom[G]inoes in drag
[C]The one and onl[D]y Madame Geo[G]rge
[C]Then fro[D]m outside

[Verse 4]
[G]The frosty window raps
[C]She jumps up and say[D]s
"Lord, have [G]mercy I think that it's the cops"
[C]And[D] immediately
[G]drops everything she gots
[C]Dow[D]n into the street bel[G]ow[C][D]
And you [G]know you gotta go
[C]On that tra[D]in from Dublin up [G]to Sandy Row
[C]Throwing[D] pennies
at the [G]bridges down below
[C]And the rai[D]n, hail, sleet, and sno[G]w[C]
[D]Say goodbye to Madame

[Bridge 1]
[G]George
[C]Dry[D] your eye for Madame Geo[G]rge
[C]Wonder why[D] for Madame Geo[G]rge
[C]Woa[D]h[G][C][D]
And as you [G]leave, the room is filled with music
[C]Laughing, music, [D]dancing, music
[G]all around the room
[C]And[D] all the little boys
[G]come around, walking away[C] from it all[D]
So [G]cold[C][D]

[Verse 5]
And as you're [G]about to leave
[C]She jumps up and say[D]s "Hey love
[G]You forgot your glo[C]ves, and[D]
The [G]love that loves
the love that loves the love
That loves the [C]love that loves to love
The [D]love that loves to love the love,
[G]the gloves"
[C]To say[D] goodbye to Madame Geo[G]rge
[C]Dry[D] your eye for Madame Geo[G]rge
[C]Wonder why[D] for Madame Geo[G]rge
[C]Dry[D] your eyes for Madame Geo[G]rge[C][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Say goo[C]dbye[D]
In the wind and the [G]rain
on the [C]backstreet[D]
[G]In the backstreet, in the backstreet
[C]Say goodbye[D] to Madame Geo[G]rge[C][D]
[G]In the backstreet, in the backstreet,
in the backstreet
[C]Woa[D]h-oh, yeah-w[G]oah
Down [C]home,
[D]down home in the bac[G]kstreet[C][D]
[G]Gotta go
[C]Say[D] goodbye, goodbye[G], goodbye, goodbye
[C]Dry[D] your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye[G]
Your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye
Your eye, your eye, your eye, your [C]eye
Your eye, your eye, your eye, your [D]eye
Your eye, your eye, your eye, your [G]eye[C]
[D]Say goodbye to Madame George
