Affair On Eighth Avenue

Em                   D            
The perfume that she wore was from
 Am          Bm           C      
 some little store on the down 
      D
side of town.
Em               D      Am      
But it lingered on long after 
     Bm      C          D
she'd gone, I remember it well.
        G        D          
And our fingers entwined like 
   C          D
ribbons of light,
G                     Em   
And we came through a doorway 
       Am     F      D
somewhere in the night.


Em                D        Am    
Her long flowing hair came softly
 Bm            C            D
 undone and it lay all around.
Em               D            Am
And she brushed it down as I 
           Bm             C       
stood by her side in the warmth of
   D
 her love.
        G             D           
And she showed me her treasures of
  C          D
 paper and tin,

G               Em       Am     
And we played a game only she 
     F    D
could win.
        G        D             C 
And she told me a riddle I'll 
         D
never forget
G                     Em      Am
And left with the answer I've 
     F      D
never found yet.


Em               D             Am
How long, said she, can a moment 
  Bm   C             D
like this belong to someone
Em                       D     
What's wrong, what is right? 
Am     Bm         D
For to live or to die,
G   D    C       D
We all must be born.
        G        D          
So, if you should ask me what 
   C          D
secrets I hide,
G              Em          Am   
I’m only your lover, don't make 
F      D
me decide!


Em                   D            
The perfume that she wore was from
 Am          Bm           C
