G                                Dm
did the owners take you from the fair
                          C
cause they saw it in your eyes
                            Am
there was something in your movement
G
back in those days
                     Dm
when all the men wore hats
                                     C
all the scandals made headlines after that
                          Am
you passed quietly in the pasture

[Chorus]

Am  C                        Am
ooooh you were beautiful and natural
                      C
and that's all I ever had to know
                              G
as the dumb actors read their lines

[Verse 2]

G                                    Dm
they knew that you'd be happier on a farm
                                       C
you were real and the western town was not
                                               Am
you kicked him off the first time you heard the gun sounds
G                                        Dm
I heard they chased the lemmings off the ledge
                                       C
I saw that film not long after you were dead
                                   Am
the night the writers joined the union

[Chorus]

Am   C                       Am
ooooh you were beautiful and natural
                      C
and that's all I ever had to know
                             G
as the dumb actors read their lines

[Bridge]

Dm                     C
Ooh in the tiniest of rooms
Dm                    C
ooh in the tiniest of zooms
Dm                  C
you fancied all of ...

[Verse 3]

G                           Dm
I bet you never really understood
                                  C
I tell you now, be glad you never could
                                       Am
the whole thing makes me sick for the future
G                                        Dm
and may the glory of your picture always be
                       C
the only thing I ever see
                          Am
the only pool I ever swim in

[Chorus]

Am   C                         Am
ooooh you were beautiful and natural
                      C
and that's all I ever had to know
                              G
as the dumb actors read their lines

[Chorus]

Am  C                         Am
ooooh you were beautiful and natural
                     C
and that's all I ever had to know
                          Am
and you've always had the ones you know
                             C
and you were there when they let us know
                          Am
and we all sat around the table
                   C
it was all we ever had to know
                   Am
it was all we ever had to know

Am  C                         Am
ooooh you were beautiful and natural
                     C
and that's all I ever had to know
                          Am
and you've always had the ones you know
                             C
and you were there when they let us know
                          Am
and we all sat around the table
                   C
it was all we ever had to know
                   Am
it was all we ever had to know
