A E F#m D A E
Once under a scarlet sky I told you never ending lies,
E B D A
But they were the words of a drunken vagabond
E B D A
Who knew very well he would break your heart before long
D A E
Oh forgive me Genevieve.
A E F#m D A E
Now I've come back to see Sweet Lady Genevieve,
E B D A
This time I'll give you some security
E B D
And I won't make promises I can't keep
D A
So will you come back to me
D B E A E A
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet Lady Genevieve?
E
Let me rock you, hold you,
B D A
Take you in my arms.
E
Forgive me, please,
C# F#m B E
Smile away all your sadness, put your trust in me.
A E F#m D A E
Oh if you come back to me Sweet Lady Genevieve,
E B D A
I'm not the impetuous fool you used to know
E B D A
I know that I used you and I hurt you so,
D A
But that was so long ago
D B E A E A E A E A
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet Lady Genevieve.
E
Oh, love me,
B D A
Take me in your arms.
E
Let me rock you, hold you,
C# F#m B E
Smile away all your sadness, put your trust in me.
A E F#m D A E
Once under a starry sky I led you on and told you lies
E B D A
Drank too much whiskey on that hot summer night.
E B D A
I acted so slyly because you were acting so shy,
D A E
Oh forgive me Genevieve.
A E F#m D A E
If you come back to me Sweet Lady Genevieve,
E B D A
You're not the child who smiled so innocently
E B D
And I'm not the rogue that I used to be,
D A
So will you come back to me
D B E A E A E A E A E
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet Lady Genevieve?
A E A E A E A E

A E A E A E A
Oooooooooooooooooooooh Genevieve
