[Verse 1]
A                                  C#m
Julie Christie, the rumors are true
        F#m                       E4
As the pages turn, my eyes are glued
        A                        C#m
To the movie star and his sordid life
 F#m                         E4
Mr. X and his old-suffering wife
         A                                   C#m
I spent so much time dreaming about Eleanor Bron
                              F#m
In my room with the curtains drawn
                        E4
See her in the arms of Paul
                      D
Say it, I can say no more
         A                                  C#m
As the music swells somehow stronger from adversity
                          F#m
Our hero finds his inner peace
                                E4
So now I'm looking for a lucky charm
         D
With a needle hanging out of its arm
 
[Instrumental]

A   C#m  D     F#m   E4    D
 
[Verse 2]
    A
As time goes by I know it's gonna happen
  C#m
I know it's going away
          D                   F#m
Gonna take its toll, gonna take its toll
                E4
Gonna take my time
          D
And I'm thinking about the way things are
         A
And I'm thinking about the way things were
C#m
Thinking about Eleanor Bron
         D
And I'm thinking about a lucky charm
         F#m
And I'm thinking about the needle
         E
Oh, I'm thinking about the needle
          D
And I'm thinking about...

I think it should be a Gm instead of G, and the Am should be a Dm or Dm/A (It's in the key of Bb) Or you could put capo on third and play in the key of G (i.e. G - Bm - Em - D, with the other one being a C)
