[A] Talk a[B]bout the virg[C#m]in mary
[A] Reminded [B]me of y[C#m]ou
[A] Expectation [B]left a [G#m]come on too
Lady writer on the TV
She had another quality
The way you used to look
And I know you never read a book
[A] Just the way that her hair fell down a[C#m]round her face
[A] And I recall my [C#m]fall from g[G#m]race
F#m F#m7(?) C#m
Another time another place
Lady writer on the TV
She had all her brains and the beauty
The pictures does not fit
You'd talk to me when you felt like this
Just the way that her hair fell down around her face
And I recall my fall from grace
Another time another place
[E] Your rich old man,
You know he'd a call[B] her a dead wringer
[G#m] You got the same command
[F#m] Plus your mother was a mess in life
Solo: A / B /C#m etc
Just the way that her hair fell down around her face
And I recall my fall from grace
Another time another place
Lady writer on the TV
She knew all about history
You couldn't hardly write your name
I think I want it just the same
Lady writer on the TV
Talking about the virgin mary
You know I'm talking about you and me
