[Bridge 2]
  D              A+                  D
I used to have a girlfriend known as Elsie,
     D                  A+              D
With whom I shared four sordid rooms in Chelsea
    A7                                Bm
She wasn't what you'd call a blushing flower.
     E                                A
As a matter of fact she rented by the hour.
    D                A+                D
The day she died the neighbors came to snicker:
       D                      A+                 D
"Well, that's what comes from too much pills and liquor."
    A7                             Bm
But when I saw her laid out like a Queen,
            G        A               D
She was the happiest corpse I'd ever seen.
  C#7            F#7          E
I think of Elsie to this very day.
  E                  A              D
I remember how she'd turn to me and say:
 
 
[Verse 4]
D             A7      D             A7
"What good is sitting alone In your room?
D             Dm7   D7
Come hear the music play.
 
[Chorus]
G         Abdim7    F#m      B7
Life is a Cab - a - ret, old chum,
Em7         A7        D
Come to the Cab - a - ret.
 
[Verse 5]
           Gm         D
And as for me, as for me,
          Bm      Bm7
I made my mind up back in Chelsea,
A7
When I go, I'm going like Elsie.
D          A7           D         A7
Start by admitting from Cradle to Tomb
D          Dm7    D7
Isn't that long a stay
 
[Chorus]
G         Abdim7    F#m      B7
Life is a Cab - a - ret, old chum
G      Abdim7    F#m      B7
Only a Cab - a - ret, old chum
             Em7   A7  D
And I love a Cab - a - ret.
