INTRO

C  G  Bm7  C9  x2

VERSE 1

C                  G           Bm7                 C9
  We were both standing in your mother's living room

C                 G         Bm7                    C9
  sweating up a storm in that terrible month of June

C                          G              Bm7            C9 
  and the sweat rolled down your cheek and into your mouth

C                          G                      Bm7
  I knew this must've been a dream 'cos your mother would never let me in her 

     C
house


CHORUS

Em     D/F#      G         D
you are the most beautiful widow

Em     D/F#      G         D
you are the most beautiful widow

Am     Bm7       C         D
you are the most beautiful widow in town


VERSE 2

C             G          Bm7             C9
  Many years later in the glassy month of December

C                G                    Bm7       C9
  I stood with my hands in my pockets, trying to avoid

C             G             Bm7                           C9 
  That shiny wedding portrait, hanging on that old woman's wall

C                       G                             Bm7             C9
  'cause I knew you'd be wearing a smile that's be too painful to look upon

CHORUS

Em     D/F#      G         D
you are the most beautiful widow

Em     D/F#      G         D
you are the most beautiful widow

Am     Bm7       C         D
you are the most beautiful widow in town
