Scarlet Begonias Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][A][A][A]

[Verse 1]
As [D]I was walkin' down Grosvenor S[A]quare
Not a [D]chill to the winter but a nip to the [A]air
[G]From the other direc[D]tio[A]n
[G]she was calling my [D]eye
[G]It could be an illu [D]sio[A]n
[G]But I might as well [D]try,
might as well [A]try[A]

[Verse 2]
She had [D]rings on her fingers
and bells on her [A]shoes
And I [D]knew without asking
she was into the [A]blues
[G]She wore scarlet bego [D]nia[A]s
[G]Tucked into her cur[D]ls
[G]I knew right away[D]
[A]She was [G]not like other [D]girls,
other [A]girls[A]

[Verse 3]
In the [D]thick of the evening
when the dealing got [A]rough
She was [D]too pat to open and too cool to [A]bluff
[G]As I picked up my mat[D]che[A]s
[G]And was closing the doo[D]r
[G]I had one of those fla[D]shes[A]
[G]flashes I'd been there befor[D]e,
been there be[A]fore[A]

[Bridge 1]
Well I [E]ain't often right
But I've never been wrong
It [A]seldom turns out the way it [G]does in the
[D]song
[E]Once in a while
You get shown the light
In the [A]strangest of places if you [G]look at it
[D]right
[E][G][A][A]

[Verse 4]
Well, there [D]ain't nothing wrong
with the way she [A]moves
Or [D]scarlet begonias or a touch of the [A]blues
[G]And there's nothing wro[D]ng wit[A]h
The [G]look that's in her [D]eye
[G]I had to learn the har[D]d way[A]
[G]To let her pass by,[D]
let her pass [A]by[A]

[Solo 1]
Well I [D]ain't[A]
[D][A]
[G][D][A][G][D]
[G][D][A][G][D]
[A][A]

[Verse 5]
The [D]wind in the willows played tea for [A]two
The [D]sky was yellow and the sun was [A]blue
[G]Strangers stopping str[D]anger[A]s
[G]Just to shake their han[D]d
[G]Everybody's pla[D]ying[A]
[G]In the Heart of Gold [D]Band
Heart of Gold [A]Band
