The Best Thing - from Carly's debut album - 1971
D
I was his foreigner
G
And he was mine
D
We ate on terraces
G
And drank the cheapest wine
C
And he believed in me
G G7
Down by the serpentine
F Em Dm C G
How was I to know
C
It was the best thing
Bb D G
To come along for a long time
D
I turned the page
G
And saw three children with smiles
D
I looked to see
G
What I could make of the youngest child
C G
And as she blew the candles out
G7
She turned five
F Em Dm C G
How was I to know
C
It was the best thing
Bb D G
To come along for a long time
Em
What do the people at the end of the world do
Bbm Eb9
About time? What about time?
Abm Ab Abm Ab
Oh oh oh oh....
Em
What do the people at the end of the world do
Bbm Eb9
About time? What about time?
A D
Their secret sleeps with me
F Em Dm C G
How was I to know
C
It was the best thing
Bb D G
To come along for a long time
F Em Dm C G
How was I to know
C
It was the best thing
Bb D G
To come along for a long time
