Selection chords: Sarah Harris

Intro: C Em Dm G x2

Verse:
      C                   Em
You talk like Marlene Dietrich
          Dm                 G
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
         C                     Em
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
                 Dm                        G
And thereʼs diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are

       C                   Em
You live in a fancy apartment
            Dm              G
Off the Boulevard Saint-Michel
            C                         Em
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
          Dm               G
And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes you do

Chorus:
    C                       Em
But where do you go to my lovely
   Dm                       G
When youʼre alone in your bed
   C                               Em
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
    Dm                       G
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

Verse:
       C                     Em
Iʼve seen all your qualifications
      Dm               G
You got from the Sorbonne
         C                          Em
And the painting you stole from Picasso
        Dm                   G
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does

       C                        Em
When you go on your summer vacation
     Dm               G
You go to Juan-les-Pins
        C                                Em
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
     Dm                         G
You get an even suntan on your back and on your legs

          C                                      Em
And when the snow falls youʼre found in Saint Moritz
           Dm                G
With the others of the jet-set
          C                    Em
And you sip your Napoleon brandy
          Dm                  G
But you never get your lips wet, no you donʼt

Chorus:
  C                           Em
But where do you go to my lovely
  Dm                        G
When youʼre alone in your bed
    C                                         Em
Wonʼt you tell me the thoughts that surround you
   Dm                         G
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

Verse:
        C                          Em
Your name, it is heard in high places
   Dm                G
You know the Aga Khan
     C                             Em
He sent you a racehorse for Christmas
          Dm                        G
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, a-ha-ha-ha

       C                       Em
They say that when you get married
       Dm               G
Itʼll be to a millionaire
          C                              Em
But they donʼt realize where you came from
         Dm                   G
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn

Chorus:
   C                      Em
Where do you go to my lovely
   Dm                       G
When youʼre alone in your bed
   C                                 Em
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
    Dm                        G
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

Verse:
      C                           Em
I remember the back streets of Naples
        Dm                G
Two children begging in rags
         C                        Em
Both touched with a burning ambition
        Dm                       G
To shake off their lowly-born tags, so they try

     C                         Em
So look into my face Marie-Claire
        Dm                  G
And remember just who you are
       C                    Em
Then go and forget me forever
         Dm                       G
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do

Chorus:
     C                       Em
I know where you go to my lovely
   Dm                       G
When youʼre alone in your bed
     C                              Em
I know the thoughts that surround you
    Dm                          G
ʼCause I can look inside your head
