The Best Thing - from Carly's debut album - 1971
[D]I was his foreigner
And h[G]e was mine
[D]We ate on terraces
And dr[G]ank the cheapest wine
[C]And he believed in me
Down b[G]y the serpent[G7]ine
[F]How w[Em]as I[Dm] to[C] kn[G]ow
It was the be[C]st thing
To come a[Bb]long for a lo[D]ng ti[G]me
[D]I turned the page
And saw three chi[G]ldren with smiles
[D]I looked to see
What I could ma[G]ke of the youngest child
[C]And as she blew the candles o[G]ut
She turned [G7]five
[F]How w[Em]as I[Dm] to[C] kn[G]ow
It was the b[C]est thing
To[Bb] come along f[D]or a [G]long time
[Em]What do the people at the end of the world do
About t[Bbm]ime? Wh[Eb9]at about time?
[Abm]Oh o[Ab]h o[Abm]h oh.[Ab]...
[Em]What do the people at the end of the world do
About t[Bbm]ime? Wh[Eb9]at about time?
[A]Their secret sleeps with [D]me
[F]How w[Em]as I[Dm] to[C] kn[G]ow
It was the b[C]est thing
To[Bb] come along f[D]or a [G]long time
[F]How w[Em]as I[Dm] to[C] kn[G]ow
It was the b[C]est thing
