 Cm
Jacqueline was seventeen, working on a desk
     G#                    A#
When Ivor peered above her spectacle
                   A#7              A#7
Forgot that he had wrecked a girl
Cm             G#                           A#
Sometime these eyes forget the face they're peering from
                   A#7         A#7
When the face they peer upon
G                          Cm
Well you know that face as I do
                 G#
And how in the return of the gaze
          A#                            Cm
She can return you the face that you're staring from
