Dm
The first time I saw her
Dm
I couldn´t be sure
Dm
But the sin of impatience
Dm C
Said She´s just what you´re looking for
Gm
So I walked right up to her
Gm F
And with the part of me that talks
Gm
I introduced myself as Frank
F
From New York, New York
Bb
She´s so hot
F
She´s so cool
C
I´m not
C Dm C Bb C Dm
I´m just a fool in love with darling Lorraine
[Verse 2]
Dm
All my life I´ve been a wanderer
Gm
Not really, I mostly lived near my parents´ home
Gm
Anyway Lorraine and I got married
F
And the usual marriage stuff
Gm
Then one day she says to me
Gm
From out of the blue, she says
F
"Frank, I´ve had enough
Bb F
Romance is a heartbreaker
C Dm
I´m not meant to be a homemaker
C Bb C Dm
And I´m tired of being darling Lorraine"
[Chorus 1]
G C F C
What - You don´t love me anymore?
G C F C
What - You´re walking out the door?
G C F C
What - You don´t like the way I chew?
G C F C
Hey let me tell you
G C F C
You´re not the woman that I wed
G C F C
You say you´re depressed but you´re not; you just like to stay in bed
G C F C G
I don´t need you darling Lorraine
C F C
C F
Darling Lorraine
C F
Lorraine
Bb
I long for your love
Dm Am Dm
[Verse 3]
Dm
Financially speaking
Dm
I guess I´m a washout
Dm
Everybody´s buy and sell
Dm
And sell and buy and
Dm
And that´s what the whole thing´s all about
Gm
If it had not been for Lorraine
F
I´d have left here long ago
Gm
I should have been a musician
F
I love the piano
Bb
She´s so light,
F
She´s so free
C Dm
I´m tight, well, that´s me
C Bb
But I feel so good with
C Dm
Darling Lorraine
[Bridge]
Dm A D
On Christmas morning Frank awakes
D A D
To find Lorraine has made a stack of pancakes
D G Em Bm
They watch the television, husband, and wife
Bm A D Fm
All afternoon "It´s A Wonderful Life"
[Chorus 2]
G C F C
What - You don´t love me anymore?
G C F C
What - You´re walking out the door?
G C F C
What - You don´t like the way I chew?
G C F C
Hey let me tell you
G C F C
You´re not the woman that I wed
G C F C
Gimmie my robe, I'm going back to bed
G C F C G
I'm sick to death of you Lorraine
C F
Darling Lorraine
C F
Lorraine
Bb
Her hands like wood
Dm Am
The doctor was smiling
Dm
But the news wasn´t good
Dm Am Dm
[Verse 4]
Dm
Darling Lorraine
Dm
Please don´t leave me yet
Dm
I know you´re in pain
Dm
pain you can´t forget
Dm C
Your breathing is like an echo of our love
Gm
Maybe I´ll go down to the corner store
F
And buy us something sweet
Gm
Here´s an extra blanket honey
F
To wrap around your feet
Gm F C Dm
All the trees were washed with April rain
C Bb
And the moon in the meadow
C Dm
Took darling Lorraine
