 Verse 1:
 C                Am      F         G       
 When I first saw Yvonne, volcanoes erupted,
 C                 Am            F    
 And her laughter flowed into my life.
 G             C      G       C     
 She seemed so right, nothing wrong,
 G          C         G      C      
 Everything about her was so strong.
                     Am       F   G 
 So I waited for the magic to start,
 Am                  F          C   G 
 Somebody touched me deep in my heart.
 
 Chorus 1:
 C   Am       F             G        C  
 Yvonne's the one I've been dreaming on,
     Am          F  
 She said, "Hold on,
                G    C     
 You're not the only one.",
     Am   F             G     C       
 And so I said, "You're wrong Yvonne."

 Verse 2:
 C              Am           F           G         
 When I saw her again, I was caught in a landslide,
 C            Am          F    
 But I didn't dare let it show.
 G        C         G       C  
 Her ruby lips were teasing me,
 G            C           G      C  
 But jealousy would never let us be.
                     Am       F   G 
 So I waited for the magic to start,
 Am                    F       C   G 
 But I know it's gonna tear us apart.
 
 Chorus 2:
 C   Am       F             G        C  
 Yvonne's the one I've been dreaming on,
     Am          F  
 She said, "Hold on,
                G    C     
 You're not the only one.",
     Am   F             G     C       
 And so I said, "You're wrong Yvonne."

 Bridge:
 Am                    F      G         
 She'll never know how much I loved her,
 Am             F    G   
 I never got to tell her.
 Am               F             G   Am   
 We never had the chance to say farewell.

 Verse 4:
 C                Am    
 When I last saw Yvonne,
          F         G     
 She was covered in roses.
 C                Am            F        
 But the laughter had gone from her eyes,
 G             C     G             C     
 She walked so tall, she looked so grand.
 G          C         G     C       
 Everything about her truly planned,
                      Am       F   G   
 But what you get, is not what you see.
 Am               F          C       G   
 "So long Yvonne, you're not fooling me."
 
 Chorus 3:
 C   Am       F             G        C  
 Yvonne's the one I've been counting on,
     Am          F  
 She said, "Hold on,
                G    C     
 You're not the only one.",
     Am   F         G    C       
 And so I said, "So long Yvonne."

 Notes:
 1. This was the last 10cc album, collaboratively produced in the UK and France. Hence,
 the title. (Graham) "Gouldman admitted the album was 'almost like two halves of an
 album', largely a result of the fact that he and Stewart began recording in separate countries."
 2. This is the first of two songs on that album in which Paul McCartney participated.
