C          G             F           G
You had us fooled little lady on the street
C               G        F               G
wearing deathly grey and shuffling your feet
C                           G             F         G
With your eyes fixed on the footpath we’d often say hello
       F               C           G          C
But your mind was on a replay of a story long ago

[Verse 2]
C               G      F                    G
Seventeen she was like all the stars that shined
C               G       F                  G
The prettiest of all in a touring chorus line
C            G               F              G
When she was dancing she was riding on the sky
F                 C               F                   C
From Australia to New Zealand she kicked her heals up high

[Chorus]
F           C            G                   C
Why did she let that man steal her from the wings
F                  C               G                    C
She looked so good beside him be a Queen in a sport of Kings
F                  C            G       C
To sip the good old bubbly be a punters toast
      F              C                G
To cheer the winning satins past the post

[Verse 3]
   C                       G              F               G
A man trained all the good horses see the pictures on the wall
C               G           F               G
Pictures in the kitchen and pictures in the hall
C                G              F              G
Horses that were famous all the time without a fear
  F              C            G              C
O’Conner was the big time the trainer of the year

[Chorus]
F           C            G                  C
Why did she let that man steal her from the wings
F                  C               G                   C
She looked so good beside him be a Queen in a sport of Kings
F                  C            G       C
To sip the good old bubbly be a punters toast
      F              C                  G
To cheer the winning satins past the post

[Verse 4]
C                 G       F             G
Would she keep on dancing surely nature gest
C                      G               F                  G
She posts the big-time punters and the squatters from out west
 C                      G             F              G
They land home in their limousine and drink a whisky dry
         F         C          G        C
And brag about the nags from Scone to Boggabri


[Chorus]
F           C            G                  C
Why did she let that man steal her from the wings
F                  C               G                   C
She looked so good beside him be a Queen in a sport of Kings
F                  C            G       C
To sip the good old bubbly be a punters toast
      F              C               G
To cheer the winning satins past the post

[Verse 5]
C          G             F           G
She had us fooled little lady on the street
C               G        F            G
wearing deathly grey and shuffling her feet
C                           G            F        G
With her eyes fixed on the footpath we’d often say hello
        F             C           G          C
But her mind was on a replay of a story long ago
