Intro: 
C F C F Am 

verse 1: 
Am                       E 
 From candles burning, shadows in the night, 
Am               E 
 People praying for eternal life, 
         Dm 
 But my mind just keeps on wandering, 
   Em                                 F 
 Away from this serene and hallowed place, 
       C       G 
 To a woman's face. 

verse 2: 
Am                E 
 She was lovely, lovely as a dream, 
Am                        E 
 She had the beauty, the beauty of a queen, 
               Dm                        
 They say that every man who meets her, 
  Em                   F 
 sooner or later will fall, 
       C            G 
 Even me that they call. 


      C                        Am 
 The master of invention, the painter of our times, 
        Dm                              G               G7 
 I can take you round the Heavens and show you how to fly, 
          C                                Am 
 'Twas a moment caught forever, there was something in her eyes, 
        Dm                        G          C     F C F 
 But I wish I could remember why Mona Lisa smiled. 


verse 3: 
Am                        E 
 She sat before me, this woman so divine, 
Am                       E 
 Something eternal was shining in her eyes, 
      Dm            
 Oh, Lisa del Giocondo,  
     Em                         F 
 you opened up a world of mystery, 
                G          G7 
 When you were looking at me. 


      C                        Am 
 The master of invention, the painter of our times, 
        Dm                              G               G7 
 I can take you round the Heavens and show you how to fly, 
          C                                Am 
 'Twas a moment caught forever, there was something in her eyes, 
        Dm                        G          Am 
 But I wish I could remember why Mona Lisa smiled. 


Bridge: 
Am                      F           Dm                   G 
 Shame the devil in my heart but I can't stop thinking about her, 
       Dm                 G            C  
 And what she's doing to me, doing to me. 


Am Dm G G7 
          C                         Am 
 'Twas a moment of perfection, the canvas never lies, 
        Dm                        G          C    F 
 But I wish I could remember why Mona Lisa smiled.
