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 forâ€
C Gm
So I walked right up to her
Gm F
And with the part of me that talks
F Gm
I introduced myself as Frank
Gm 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
All my life I´ve been a wanderer
Not really, I mostly lived near my parents´ home
Anyway Lorraine and I got married
And the usual marriage stuff
Then one day she says to me
From out of the blue
Frank, I´ve had enough
Romance is a heartbreaker
I´m not meant to be a homemaker
And I´m tired of being darling Lorraine
G
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 /e F
Darling Lorraine
C/e F
Lorraine
Bb
I long for your love
Dm Am Dm
Financially speaking
I guess I´m a washout
Everybody´s buy and sell
And sell and buy and
And that´s what the whole thing´s all about
If it had not been for Lorraine
I´d have left here long ago
I should have been a musician
I love the piano
She´s so light
She´s so free
I´m tight, well, that´s me
But I feel so good
With darling Lorraine
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 /c# D /e /f#
All afternoon "It´s A Wonderful Life"
What - You don´t love me anymore?
What - You´re walking out the door?
What - You don´t like the way I chew?
Hey let me tell you
You´re not the woman that I wed
Gimme my robe I´m going back to bed
I´m sick to death of you Lorraine
Darling Lorraine
Lorraine
Her hands like wood
The doctor was smiling
But the news wasn´t good
Darling Lorraine
Please don´t leave me yet
I know you´re in pain
Pain you can´t forget
Your breathing is like an echo of our love
Maybe I´ll go down to the corner store
And buy us something sweet
Here´s an extra blanket honey
To wrap around your feet
All the trees were washed with April rain
And the moon in the meadow
Took darling Lorraine
