Intro:
C9 G Bm7 C9 x2
Verse 1:
[C9] we were both stand[G]ing in your [Bm7]mother's living room[C9]
[C9] sweating up a sto[G]rm in that[Bm7] terrible month of June[C9]
[C9] and the sweat rolled down [G]your cheek and [Bm7]into your mouth[C9]
[C9] I knew this must've been a[G] dream 'cos your mother[Bm7] would never let me in her
house[C9]
Chorus:
[Em]you are[D/F#] the most [G]beautiful [D]widow
[Em]you are[D/F#] the most [G]beautiful [D]widow
[Am]you are[Bm7] the most [C]beautiful [D]widow in town
Verse 2:
many years later in the glassy month of December
I stood with my hands in my pockets trying to avoid
a shiny wedding portrait hanging on that old woman's wall
'cos I knew you'd be wearing a smile that'd be too painful to look upon
Chorus:
Verse 3: (instrumental with solo)
