[Verse 1]

C   G7     C       G7          Am      G    F
Operator, number please, it's been so many years
  C       G7     C      G7       Am     G         F
She’ll remember my old voice,  while I fight the tears?
 C          A     Dm       G7        C       A      Dm
It’s been twenty years or more now, Martha please recall
     C      A        Dm       G7         Am    G       F   F7
And meet me out for coffee, where we’ll talk about it all

[Chorus]

  C                 F          C           F
Those were days of roses,  of poetry and prose
                   C       F       Dm       F      C
And Martha, all I had was you, and all you had was me
  C             F           C                   F
There was no tomorrow,  we packed away all our sorrows
                   C     Dm F  C
And we saved them for a rainy day

[Verse 2]

C      G7        C    G7          Am          G     F
I feel so much older now, oh and you're much older too
 C         G7        C         G7
How's the husband,  how's the kids?
             Am      G       F
You know that I got married too
 C          A   Dm      G7           C     A       Dm
Guess that our being together,  was never meant to be
     C     A  Dm  G7    Am        G         F   F7
But Martha,  Martha, I loved you can’t you see

[Chorus]

  C                 F          C           F
Those were days of roses,  of poetry and prose
                   C       F       Dm       F      C
And Martha, all I had was you, and all you had was me
  C             F           C                   F
There was no tomorrow,  we packed away all our sorrows
                       C       Dm F   C
And  we  saved  them  for  a  rainy  day
  C                 F       C           F
Those were days of roses,  poetry and prose
                   C       F       Dm       F      C
And Martha, all I had was you, and all you had was me
