Standard (EADGBE)

Well I want to take a streetcar downtown

Read Henry Miller and wander around

And drink some Guinness from a tin

'Cause my U.I. cheque has just come in

Ah, where you been because,

Chorus

Everything is comin' up Rosy & Grey

Yeah, the wind is cold but the smell of snow warms me today

And your smile is fine and it's just like mine

And it won't go away

'Cause everything is Rosy & Grey

Well you've been under my skin for more than eight years

It's been eight years of laughter and eight years of tears

And I don't know what the future (can/)will hold or (will/)can do

For me and you

But, I'm a much better man for havin' known you

Ah, you know that's true because...

Chorus

Bridge

Well I've been told that there's a sucker born every day

But I wonder who, yeah I wonder who

Maybe the one who doesn't realize there's a thousand shades of grey

'Cause I know that's true, yes I do, I know it's true, yeah, I know it's

true

How 'bout you

Well they're pickin' up trash and they're puttin' down roads

And they're brokering stocks, the class struggle explodes

And I'll play this guitar just the best that I can

Well maybe I'm not and maybe I am

Well who gives a damn because...

Chorus

Well I've kissed you in France and I've kissed you in Spain

And I've kissed you in places I better not name

And I've seen the sun go down on Sacre Coeur

But I like it much better goin' down on you

Yeah You know that's true because...
