Intro: 
C F C F Am 

verse 1: 
Am                       E 
 From candles burning, shadows in the night, 
Am               E 
 People praying for eternal life, 
         Dm 
 But my mind just keeps on wandering, 
   Em                                 F 
 Away from this serene and hallowed place, 
       C       G 
 To a woman's face. 

verse 2: 
Am                E 
 She was lovely, lovely as a dream, 
Am                        E 
 She had the beauty, the beauty of a queen, 
               Dm                        
 They say that every man who meets her, 
  Em                   F 
 sooner or later will fall, 
       C            G 
 Even me that they call. 


C Am The master of invention, the painter of our times, Dm G G7 I can take you round the Heavens and show you how to fly, C Am 'Twas a moment caught forever, there was something in her eyes, Dm G C F C F But I wish I could remember why Mona Lisa smiled.
verse 3: Am E She sat before me, this woman so divine, Am E Something eternal was shining in her eyes, Dm Oh, Lisa del Giocondo, Em F you opened up a world of mystery, G G7 When you were looking at me.
C Am The master of invention, the painter of our times, Dm G G7 I can take you round the Heavens and show you how to fly, C Am 'Twas a moment caught forever, there was something in her eyes, Dm G Am But I wish I could remember why Mona Lisa smiled.
Bridge: Am F Dm G Shame the devil in my heart but I can't stop thinking about her, Dm G C And what she's doing to me, doing to me.
Am Dm G G7 C Am 'Twas a moment of perfection, the canvas never lies, Dm G C F But I wish I could remember why Mona Lisa smiled. C F Why Mona Lisa smiled? C F Why Mona Lisa smiled? C Why Mona Lisa smiled?
