Where Do You Go to, My Lovely? - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
In April 1969, Peter Sarstedt released this song. It rapidly became one of the most frequently played singles for years, due to its smooth and simple style, catchy 3/4 beat and the unusual production (only 3 instruments; no drums), far better than what was likely at that time. The lyrics are not only really good: they are introspective and a common reminder of never to forget or deny your origin. New Delhi-born Peter Eardley Sarstedt (1941-2017) never managed to follow up this hit, though he continued his songwriting and performing for more than 60 years. That man is underestimated! He's left us a lot of songs worth listening to, and playing. Universal first rejected this song; the main objection was the length. The result of the discussion was omitting two parts in two verses; one of them of "moral causes". They are back where they belong on the lyric's page, shaded in grey, and they have also been included on later albums.G G/F# Bm you talk like Marlene Dietrich C Am D7 and you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire G Gmaj7_1 Bm your clothes are all made by Balmain C Am D Bm Am7 D7 and there's diamonds and pearls in your hair yes there are G G/F# Bm you live in a fancy apartment C Am D7 off the Boulevard Saint-Michel G Gmaj7_1 Bm where you keep your Rolling Stones records C Am D7 Bm Am7 D7 and a friend of Sacha Distel yes you do G Gmaj7_1 Bm C D7 but where do you go to my lovely when you're alone in your bed G Gmaj7_1 Bm tell me the thoughts that surround you C D7 Bm Am7 D7 I want to look inside your head yes I do C D7 G :/:cause I can look inside your head
The G major seventh and G/F# chord is not nescessary. Sarstedt himself didn't play it, neighter the A minor. In fact he played the song C major straight, but I prefer it this way.
