ODORONO- The Who

A7 A6 A+ A      

               A7             A6
She sang the best she'd ever sang
      A+                     A
She couldn't ever sing any better
             A7            A6
But Mister Davidson never rang
      A+                  A
She knew he would forget her

                 E                        A
She'd seen him there and put herself to ransom
         E                           A
He had stared, he really was quite handsome

          A7
She had really looked her best
She couldn't ever look any better
But she knew she'd failed the test
She knew he would forget her

Triumphant was the way she felt
           C          G     D
As she acknowledged the applause
 A  D   E 
Triumphant was the way she'd felt
          Am               E            F#m7  E7
When she saw him at the dressing room door

           A7
She was happier than she'd ever been
As he praised her for her grace
But his expression changed, she had seen
As he leant to kiss her face

           E                        A
It ended there, he claimed a late appointment
               E                      A
She quickly turned to hide her dissapointment

      A7
She ripped her glittering gown
Couldn't face another show, no
Her deodorant had let her down
She should have used Odorono
