Marilyn Monroe (from Blood Brothers)

(Bm)Once I had a husband.

You (Em7)know the sort of chap.

I (A)met him at a dance and how he (Gm)came on with the (Bm)chat.

(A)He (Bm)said my eyes were deep blue pools,

my (Em7)skin as soft as snow.

He (A)told me I was sexier than (Gm)Marilyn (B)Monroe.

And we went (Em7)dancing,

(A7)we went (Gm)dancing.

(Bm)Then, of course, I found that I was (Em7)six weeks overdue.

We got (A)married at the registry an' (Gm)then we had a (Bm7)'do'.

(Aaug)We all had (Bm)curly salmon sandwiches,

an' (Em7)how the ale did flow.

The (A)bride, they said, was lovelier than (Gm)Marilyn (B)Monroe.

(And we went (Em7)dancing,

(A7)yes, we went (Gm)dancing.)

(Bm)Then the baby came along.

We (Em7)called him Darren Wayne.

Then (A)three months on I found that I was (Gm)in the club (Bm7)again.

(A7)An' though (Bm)I still fancied dancin',

my (Em7)husband wouldn't go with a (A)wife he said was twice the size of (Gm)Marilyn (B)Monroe.

No more (Em7)dancing,

(A7)no more (Gm)dancing.

(D)By the (Bm)time that I was twentyfive I (Em7)looked like fortytwo.

With (A)seven hungry mouths to feed and (Gm)one more nearly (Bm)due.

(A)Me (Bm)husband, he walked out on me a (Em7)month or two ago;

for a (A)girl they say who looks a bit like (Gm)Marilyn (B)Monroe.

And they go (Em7)dancing,

(A7)they go (Gm)dancing.

(B7)Yes, they go (Em)dancing,

(A7)they go (Gm)dancing.
