D#m  F#        A#
True beautiful one
D#m           F#       A#
What have you gone and done?
          D#m      F#        A#
I can see all your moves are new
         D#m           F#       A#
Tell me, what did that salesman do to you?
     D#m F#       A#
That catalogue replaced
         D#m    F#         A#
The fine mind behind your face
         D#m  F#     A#
No human trio can compete
           D#m       F#     C#
When that three-way mirror meets your eye

Chorus:
           B
On a slow night
           F#
On a slow night

How you would walk the fashion mile
Hand-me-down and call it style
Well, your boots were scratchy black
And your hat was just a hat
Yeah, though lips on you were plain
The better to a kiss sustain

Chorus
