By:   Carly Simon

[intro:]  8 x Am

[verse: 1]
     Am
You walked into the party
                F              Am
like you were walking on to a yacht
     Am
Your hatstrategically dipped below one eye
       F            Am
your scarf it was apricot
         F      G      Em     Am 
You had one eye in the mirror as  
      F {let ring}      C {let ring}
You watched yourself gavotte
             G                   F
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner

They'd be your partner and

    Am
You had me several years ago
     F                  Am
when I was still quite naive
          Am
Well you said that we make such a pretty pair 
      F                    Am
and that you would never leave
         F     G       Em         Am   
But you gave away the things you loved 
     F {let ring}   C {let ring}
And one of them was me
             G                F
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee

Clouds in my coffee and

        Am                           
Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga 
           F             Am
And your horse naturally won
          Am
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
             F                  Am
To see the total eclipse of the sun
