 |E      D          |B
Rene and Georgette Magritte
           A            |E  |
With their dog after the war
 |                D    |B
Returned to their hotel suite
                     |Amaj7 |  |
And they unlocked the door
F#m6               |E6/G#
Easily losing their evening clothes
    |F#m/A                     |B/A |
They danced by the light of the moon
      |E/G#         |C#m7
To the Penguins, the Moonglows
    Amaj9           |B9
The Orioles, and The Five Satins
   |E       G#m7/D#|C#m
The deep forbidden  music
E/B        |Amaj7
They'd been longing for
 |F#m6              |B9
Rene and Georgette Magritte
                        |E  |
With their dog after the war
 
 
 |E      D          |B
Rene and Georgette Magritte
           A            |E  |
With their dog after the war
    |               D          |B
Were strolling down Christopher Street
                      |Amaj7      |
When they stopped in a men's store
    |F#m6                 |E6/G#
With all of the mannequins dressed in the style
            |F#m/A                   |B/A |
That brought tears to their immigrant eyes
             |E/G#         |C#m7
Just like The Penguins, the Moonglows
    Amaj9           |B9
The Orioles, and The Five Satins
   |E    G#m7/D#  |C#m
The easy stream of laughter
E/B        |Amaj7
    Flowing through the air
 
 
 |F#m6              |B9
Rene and Georgette Magritte
                       |E     |  |
With their dog après la guerre
F#7    |B
Side by side
    |Amaj7 |G#m7 |
They fell  asleep
A6     |E/G#                   |
Decades gliding by like Indians
B#dim  |C#m7 |
Time is cheap
A6       |E/G#   |B7/F#    |E   |
When they wake up they will find
F#7      |B          F#6/A#
All their personal belongings
    |Amaj7 |G#m7  |
Have inter--twined
 
 
F#m6 |  |E      D          |B
Oh-----Rene and Georgette Magritte
           A            |E  |
With their dog after the war
    |E               D     |B
Were dining with the power élite
                        |Amaj7         |
And they looked in their bedroom drawer
   |F#m6
And what do you think
         |E6/G#
They have hidden away
      |F#m/A                |F#7/A# |
In the cabinet cold of their hearts?
   |G#m          |D#m
The Penguins, the Moonglows
   |E               |B
The Orioles, and The Five Satins
   |E       G#m7/D#|C#m7
For now and ever    after
E/B      |Amaj7     |
    As it was before
D9-5  |F#m/C#            |B
     Rene and Georgette Magritte
                        |A6 |
With their dog after the war
