Db6
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you.
Dbmaj7 Bb7b9 Ebm7 Ab7
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile.
Ebm7 Ab7
Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have blamed you
Ebm7 Ab7 Dbmaj7 Ab7
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile?
Db6
Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa,
Dbmaj7 Db7 Gbmaj7
Or is this the way you hide a broken heart?
Gbm7 B7 Dbmaj7 Bb7b9
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep.
Ebm7 Ab7 Dbmaj7 Db7
They just lie there, and they die there.
Gbmaj7 Gdim7 Fm7 Bb7b9
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa,
Ebm7 Ab7 Db6 (Ebm7 Ab7)
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art?
[Instrumental, same chords as first eight bars]
