[Verse 1]
D Em7
Poor old Granddad I laughed at all his words
D Em7
I thought he was a bitter man He spoke of women's ways
D Em7
They'll trap you, then they use you Be-fore you even know
D Em7
For love is blind and you're far too kind Don't ever let it show
[Chorus]
D Em7 G
I wish that I knew all I know now When I was younger
D Em7 G
I wish that I knew all I know now When I was stronger.
[Main Melody] x2
[Verse 2]
D Em7
The Can Can's such a pretty show They'll steal your heart away
D Em7
But backstage, back on earth again The dressing rooms are grey
D Em7
They come on strong and it ain't too long Before they make you feel a man
D Em7
But love is blind and you soon will find You're just a boy again
[Chorus]
Play around with D chord during 'solo'
Main melody x2
[Verse 3]
D Em7
When you want her lips, you get a cheek Makes you wonder where you are
D Em7
If you want some more and she's fast asleep Leaves you twinkling with the stars.
D Em7
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
D Em7
You'll have to learn, just like me And that's the hardest way
[Chorus]
Main melody x2
Start ooh la la-ing
