Eleanor

	  		
verse 1 

G 
I think she wanted your affections 
     C      D                        G C G C D 
Well, at least that's what i've read 
G 
God knows the world is a cruel place 
    C  D                     G   C G 
When   beauty don't grace your head 

Em 
When your two legs withered 
     C 
She offered her caress 
     G                G/F# 
Her love deeper than warm springs 
     Em 
But Lucy got your best 
     C     Cadd9 C           D         G C G C D 
Yes, Eleanor    taking what she could get 

verse 2 
G                               C 
Surely love must have an object 
        D             G  C G C D 
When refused so many times 
G 
She gave hers to the orphans 
     C                 D                  G C G 
The weak, the starving, the sick and blind 

             Em 
Ah, but the credit it fell back on you 
    C 
You pinned her to your chest 
     G                G/F# 
Her love deeper than warm springs 
    Em 
But Lucy got your best 
     C     Cadd9 C           D         G C G C D 
Yes, Eleanor    taking what she could get 

verse 3 
G                                                C 
She knew about those seedy little business trips 
           D                 G  C G C D 
But she became your welcome mat 
G 
And I bet she could've used something from you 
C                    D          G C G 
Something more than a fireside chat 

      Em 
Hey, history's flesh and blood it seems 
                   C 
There're no more heroes waiting in the wings 
     G                   G/F#          Em 
But Franklin, she never loved you any less 
C     Cadd9 C           D         G C G C D 
Eleanor    taking what she could get 

verse 4 
G 
Now to those who wield great power 
    C           D                G  C G C D 
Popularity, vulgarity, and the sword 
               G 
You know those little molders of public opinion 
            C                 D              G C G 
Create the stuff of graffiti legend and folklore 

             Em 
We remember your profile and cigarette 
              C 
She's just a footnote in your text 
     G               G/F# 
Her love deep as the ocean 
         Em 
Ah, but Lucy got your best 
C     Cadd9 C           D 
Eleanor    taking what she could 
C     Cadd9 C           D 
Eleanor    taking what she could 
C     Cadd9 C           D         G C G C D G 
Eleanor    taking what she could get
