Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

She said,

Come in my dear,

You're looking tired tonight

Your bath is drawn, let me loosen your tie

And fix you your usual drink

____Verse: 2

He settles back,

Takes a magazine,

Kicks off his shoes, as he studies the form

[A7-9]

Of every appealing soubrette

____Chorus: 1

But where are the flowers that he used to bring

With every endearing remark

Reminds her of passionate promises,

That he only made in the dark, in her bed,

She wants to shout at the back of his head

Look at me, look at me, look at me I'm afraid

I'm just your Mistress and Maid.

____Verse: 3

The wine is warm

But the dinner is cold

The look in his eye tells her it won't be long

[A7-9]

'till the girls on the page come to life

____Chorus: 2

And they'll get the flowers that he used to bring

With every endearing remark,

And all of the passionate promises

He'll never fulfill in the dark, in their bed,

She wants to shout at the back of his head

Look at me, look at me, now that I'm not afraid.

See what it's come to,

I'm not your mistress and maid.

See what it's come to,

I'm not your mistress and maid, *oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh* (Repeat *-*)

*Mistress and maid (Repeat * 4 times)
