Dreams of the Everyday Housewife - Glen Campbell
D7 D
She looks in the mirror and stares at the
G
Wrinkles that weren't there yesterday
A D
And thinks of the young man that she almost married
G D Em F#7
What would he think if he saw her this way
D
She picks up her apron in little girl-fashion
G
As something comes into her mind
A D
Slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood
G D Em A7
And all of the boys she had waiting in line
D Em D Em
Oh such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
D Em D A
You see everywhere any time of the day
G D
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
D
The photograph album she takes
G
From the closet and slowly turns the page
A D
And carefully picks up the crumbling flower
G D Em F#7
The first one he gave her now withered with age
D
She closes her eyes and touches the
G
House dress that suddenly disappears
A
And just for the moment she's wearing the gown
G D Em A7
That broke all their minds back so many years
D Em D Em
Oh such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
D Em D A
You see everywhere any time of the day
G D
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
