[INTRO]
[Em] | [B7]
[E]What good is [B7]sitting a[E]lone in your [B7]room?
[E]Come hear the [EM7]music [E7]play.
[A]Life is a [Bbdim]Caba - - [G#m]ret, old [C#7]chum, [F#m7]Come to the [B7]Caba - [E]ret. [B7]
[E]Put down the [B7]knitting, The [E]book and the [B7]broom.
[E]Time for a [EM7]holi[E7]day.
[A]Life is a [Bbdim]Caba - - [G#m]ret, old [C#7]chum, [F#m7]Come to the [B7]Caba - [E]ret. [E7]
Come taste the [Am]wine, Come hear the [E]band.
Come blow a [C#m]horn, Start [C#m7]celebrating;
[B7]Right this way, Your table's waiting
[E]No use per[B7]mitting some [E]prophet of [B7]doom
To [E]wipe every [EM7]smile a[E7]way.
[A]Life is a [Bbdim]Caba - - [G#m]ret, old [C#7]chum, [F#m7]Come to the [B7]Caba - [E]ret.

[A] [Bbdim] | [G#m] [C#7] | [F#m7] [B7] | [E]
I [E]used to have a [B+]girlfriend known as [E]Elsie
With [E]whom I shared Four [B+]sordid rooms in [E]Chelsea
She [F#m]wasn't what you'd [D#dim]call A blushing [C#m]flower...
As a [F#]matter of fact She [F#7]rented by the [B]hour.
The [E]day she died the [B+]neighbors came to [E]snicker:
"Well, [E]thats what comes from [B+]too much pills and [E]liquor."
But [F#m]when I saw her [G#7]laid out like a [C#m]Queen
She was the [F#m]happiest... [F#m7]corpse... I'd [B]ever [E]seen.
I [D#7]think of Elsie to this very [G#m]day.
I'd [F#]remember how'd she turn to me and [B]say:
[E]"What good is [B7]sitting a[E]lone in your [B7]room?

[A]Life is a [Bbdim]Caba - - [G#m]ret, old [C#7]chum, [F#m7]Come to the [B7]Caba - [E]ret.
And as for [Am]me, as for [E]me
I made up my [C#m]mind up [C#m7]back in Chelsea, [B]When I [B7]go, (KEY CHANGE 1/2 step up)
I'm [C]going like [C7]Elsie.
[F]Start by ad[C]mitting From [F]cradle to [C]tomb
It [F]Isn't that [FM7]long a [F7]stay.
[Bb]Life is a [Bdim]Caba - - [Am]ret, old [D7]chum,
[Bb]Only a [Bdim]Caba - - [Am]ret, old [D7]chum
And [Gm7]I love a [C7]Caba - - [F]ret!
