Scarlet Begonias

   E                  A       
As I was walkin' down Grosvenor 
  B
Square,
     E                          A 
Not a chill to the winter but a 
         B
nip to the air,
A                E  B    A     
From the other direction she 
             E
was calling my eye,
A             E B    A         
Could be an illusion but I 
          E                  B
might as well try, might as well 
try.


[Verse 2]

        E                       
She had rings on her fingers and 
 A            B
bells on her shoes,
    E                             
And I knew without askin' she was 
A        B
into the blues.
A                  E B   A     
She wore scarlet begonias 
                   E
tucked into her curls,
A               E B       A    
I knew right away she was not 
          E            B
like other girls, other girls.

       E                           
In the heat of the evening when the
 A           B
 dealin' got rough,
       E                        A 
She was too pat to open and too 
      B
cool to bluff.
A                 E  B   A     
As I picked up my matches and 
               E
was closin' the door,
A                  E  B   A    
I had one of those flashes, I'd
              E               
 been there before, been there 
       B
before.


[Bridge]

       F#
Well, I ain't often right but I've 
never been wrong,
B                           A    
Seldom turns out the way it does 
       E
in the song.
F#
Once in a while you get shown the 
light
       B                          
In the strangest of places if you 
A          E       F#    A    B
look at it right.


[Verse 4]

            E                      
Well, there ain't nothin' wrong 
      A       B
with the way she moves,
    E                     A       
Her scarlet begonias or a touch of
     B
 the blues.
A                   E     B      
And there's nothing wrong with 
  A                       E
the look that's in her eyes
A                  E    B  A   
I had to learn the hard way to 
             E                B
let her pass by, let her pass by.


[Verse 5]

    E                           
The wind in the willow's playing 
  A       B
"Tea for Two,"
   E                       A       
The sky was yellow and the sun was 
B
blue,
A                  E    B   A  
Strangers stopping strangers 
                        E
just to shake their hand,
A           E  B    A          
Everybody's playing in the 
          E                   B
heart of gold band, heart of gold 
band.
