Dreams of the Everyday Housewife - Glen Campbell


D7        D
She looks in the mirror and stares at the
       G
Wrinkles that weren't there yesterday
                 A     D
And thinks of the young man that she almost married
G       D      Em      F#7
What would he think if he saw her this way

  D
She picks up her apron in little girl-fashion
  G
As something comes into her mind
            A       D
Slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood
  G     D      Em     A7
And all of the boys she had waiting in line

  D      Em      D    Em
Oh such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
  D    Em    D      A
You see everywhere any time of the day
             G             D
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me

  D
The photograph album she takes
          G
From the closet and slowly turns the page
              A     D
And carefully picks up the crumbling flower
  G      D      Em      F#7
The first one he gave her now withered with age

  D
She closes her eyes and touches the
         G
House dress that suddenly disappears
               A
And just for the moment she's wearing the gown
   G        D     Em   A7
That broke all their minds back so many years


  D      Em      D    Em
Oh such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
  D    Em    D      A
You see everywhere any time of the day
             G             D
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
