Dm  Am  B  Gm
   

Dm                     Am
Catalogue princess, apprentice seductress
B             Gm
hiding in her  cellophane world in glitter town.
Dm                          Am
Awaiting the prince in het  white Capri
B                    Gm
dynamic young tarzan  courts the bedsit queen.
Dm                                 Am
She's playing the actress in this  bedroom scene,
B                                    Gm
she's learning her lines from glossy  magazines.
Dm                                 Am
Stringing all her pearls from her  childhood dreams,
B                                       Gm
auditioning for the leading role on the  silver screen.

Dm                  Am
Patience my tinsel  angel.
B                    Gm
Patience my perfumed  child.
    Dm                  Am
One day they'll really  love you.
         B                    Gm
You will charm them with that  smile.
        Dm   Am B Gm
But for now   
                          Dm      Am B Gm
It's just another Chelsea Monday   

        Em       D C Am
Chelsea Monday!  

Em D C Am
Dm Am B Gm
   
Dm                 Am
Drifting with her  incense in the
B            Gm
labyrinth of  London.
Dm                  Am
Playing games with  faces in the
B               Gm
neon wonderland.
   Dm                Am
Perform to scattered shadows on the
B                 Gm
shattered cobbled  aisles.
          Dm             Am
Would she dare recite soliloquies at the
B               Gm
risk of stark applause?

           Em       D C Am
To Chelsea Monday.   
       Em                D
She'll pray for endless  Sundays,
       C               Am
as she enters saffron  sunsets.
Em               D
Conjure phantom  lovers from the
C                   Am
tattered shreds of  dawn.
   Em                D
Fulfilled and yet forgotten
    C            Am
the St Tropez mirage.
Em             D
Fragrant aphrodisiac,
    C             Am
the withered tuberose.
