[Verse 1]
C Dm7
Poor old Granddad I laughed at all his words
C Dm7
I thought he was a bitter man He spoke of women's ways
C Dm7
They'll trap you, then they use you Be-fore you even know
C Dm7
For love is blind and you're far too kind Don't ever let it show
[Chorus]
C Dm7 F
I wish that I knew all I know now When I was younger
C Dm7 F
I wish that I knew all I know now When I was stronger.
[Main Melody] x2
[Verse 2]
C Dm7
The Can Can's such a pretty show They'll steal your heart away
C Dm7
But backstage, back on earth again The dressing rooms are grey
C Dm7
They come on strong and it ain't too long Before they make you feel a man
C Dm7
But love is blind and you soon will find You're just a boy again
[Chorus]
Play around with C chord during 'solo'
Main melody x2
[Verse 3]
C Dm7
When you want her lips, you get a cheek Makes you wonder where you are
C Dm7
If you want some more and she's fast asleep Leaves you twinkling with the stars.
C Dm7
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
C Dm7
You'll have to learn, just like me And that's the hardest way
[Chorus]
Main melody x2
Start ooh la la-ing
