Verse 1:
[C]When I first saw [Am]Yvonne, [F]volcanoes [G]erupted,
[C]And her laughter f[Am]lowed into my [F]life.
[G]She seemed so [C]right, [G]nothing [C]wrong,
[G]Everything [C]about her [G]was so [C]strong.
So I waited for the [Am]magic to [F]star[G]t,
[Am]Somebody touched me [F]deep in my [C]hear[G]t.
Chorus 1:
[C]Yvon[Am]ne's the [F]one I've been [G]dreaming [C]on,
She [Am]said, "Hold [F]on,
You're not the [G]only [C]one.",
And [Am]so I [F]said, "You're [G]wrong [C]Yvonne."
|(C) Am F G| [Keyboard: Marimba Turnaround]
Verse 2:
[C]When I saw her [Am]again, I was [F]caught in a [G]landslide,
[C]But I didn't [Am]dare let it [F]show.
[G]Her ruby [C]lips were [G]teasing [C]me,
[G]But jealousy [C]would never [G]let us [C]be.
So I waited for the [Am]magic to [F]star[G]t,
[Am]But I know it's gonna [F]tear us [C]apar[G]t.
Chorus 2:
[C]Yvon[Am]ne's the [F]one I've been [G]dreaming [C]on,
She [Am]said, "Hold [F]on,
You're not the [G]only [C]one.",
And [Am]so I [F]said, "You're [G]wrong [C]Yvonne."

Bridge:
[Am]She'll never know how [F]much I [G]loved her,
[Am]I never got to [F]tell [G]her.
[Am]We never had the [F]chance to say [G]fare[Am]well.
Instrumental: [Lead over]

Verse 4:
[C]When I last saw Y[Am]vonne,
She was c[F]overed in [G]roses.
[C]But the laughter [Am]had gone from [F]her eyes,
[G]She walked so [C]tall, [G]she looked so [C]grand.
[G]Everything [C]about her [G]truly [C]planned,
But what you get, is [Am]not what [F]you [G]see.
[Am]"So long Yvonne, [F]you're not [C]fooling [G]me."
Chorus 3:
[C]Yvon[Am]ne's the [F]one I've been [G]counting [C]on,
She [Am]said, "Hold [F]on,
You're not the [G]only [C]one.",
And [Am]so I [F]said, "So [G]long [C]Yvonne."

Notes:
1. This was the last 10cc album, collaboratively produced in the UK and France. Hence,
the title. (Graham) "Gouldman admitted the album was 'almost like two halves of an
album', largely a result of the fact that he and Stewart began recording in separate countries."
2. This is the first of two songs on that album in which Paul McCartney participated.
