"Mistress And Maid" (capo: 5th. fret)

____Verse: 1

/A /C
She said,
D7
Come in my dear,

You're looking tired tonight

F#7+5 Bm
Your bath is drawn, let me loosen your tie
F#7 A7
And fix you your usual drink

____Verse: 2

D7
He settles back,

Takes a magazine,
F#7+5 Bm
Kicks off his shoes, as he studies the form
F#7 A7-9
Of every appealing soubrette

____Chorus: 1

Dm
But where are the flowers that he used to bring
E7 Am
With every endearing remark
Dm G
Reminds her of passionate promises,
Dm E7 A A#dim
That he only made in the dark, in her bed,
Bm E
She wants to shout at the back of his head
A A#dim
Look at me, look at me, look at me I'm afraid
Bm
See what it's come to,
Gm6 D7---------/A---/C
I'm just your Mistress and Maid.

____Verse: 3

D7
The wine is warm

But the dinner is cold
F#7+5 Bm
The look in his eye tells her it won't be long
F#7 A7-9
'till the girls on the page come to life

____Chorus: 2

Dm
And they'll get the flowers that he used to bring
E7 Am
With every endearing remark,
Dm G
And all of the passionate promises
Dm E7 A A#dim
He'll never fulfill in the dark, in their bed,
Bm E
She wants to shout at the back of his head
A A#dim
Look at me, look at me, now that I'm not afraid.
Bm
See what it's come to,
Gm6 D7
I'm not your mistress and maid.

____Coda:

Bm
See what it's come to,
Gm6 D7
I'm not your mistress and maid, *oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh* (Repeat *-*)
D7
*Mistress and maid (Repeat * 4 times)
