[Verse 1]
A        C#m                           Bm        Dm
Tea time won't be the same without my Donna
A        C#m                       Bm      Dm
At night I lie awake and dream of Donna
C#                 F#m
I think about that small café
C#                      F#m
That's where we used to meet each day
C#                  F#m    F#                       
And then we used to sit a while
       D           G    F#m
And drink our afternoon tea

[Chorus]
C#m        B         A
I'll take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
C#m     B           A
If you take it with me (afternoon tea)
A                        E
You take as long as you like
          B
'cause I like you, girl

C#m     B         A
I take sugar with tea (afternoon tea)
C#m        B          A
You take milk if you please (afternoon tea)
A                   E
Like you talking to me
            B
Because you ease my mind

[Verse 2]
A           C#m                          Bm       Dm     
Tea time still ain't the same without my Donna
A           C#m                   Bm       Dm
At night I lie awake and dream of Donna
C#               F#m
I went to our cafe one day
C#                   F#m
They said that Donna walked away
C#                       F#m        F#
You'd think at least she might have stayed
     D            G   F#m
To drink her afternoon tea

[Chorus]
C#m       B          A
I'll take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
C#m     B           A
If you take it with me (afternoon tea)
A                        E
You take as long as you like
           B
'cause I like you, girl

C#m      B        A
I take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
C#m     B        A
Every day of the week (afternoon tea)
A                        E
Please come along if you like
            B
Because I like you, girl
