Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands
Ton : F#English
Couplet
BWith your D#mmercury mouth in the Emissionary F#times
And your Beyes like D#msmoke and your Eprayers like F#rhymes
And your Esilver D#mcross and your Evoice like Bchimes
Oh who D#mamong them do they Ethink could F#bury you?
BWith your D#mpockets well Eprotected at F#last
And Byour D#mstreetcar visions which you Eplace on the F#grass
And your Eflesh like D#msilk and your Eface like F#glass
Who D#mamong them do they think Ecould F#carry you?
Refrain
C#mSad eyed Elady of the Blowlands F#
C#mWhere the sad eyed Eprophet says that no Bman F#comes
My BwareD#mhouse Eeyes my BArabiEan F#drums
G#mShould I leave them by your C#mgate
Or Esad eyed lady should I Bwait?
D#m G#m F#
Couplet
BWith your D#msheets like metal Eand your F#belt like lace
And Byour deck D#mof cards missing the Ejack and the F#ace
And your Ebasement D#mclothes and your Ehollow Bface
Who D#mamong them can think he Ecould F#outguess you?
BWith your D#msilhouette when Ethe sunlight F#dims
BInto your D#meyes where the moonlight Eswims F#
And your Ematch-D#mbook songs and your Egypsy Bhymns
Who D#mamong them would try to Eimpress F#you?
Refrain
C#mSad eyed Elady of the Blowlands F#
C#mWhere the sad eyed Eprophet says that no Bman F#comes
My BwareD#mhouse Eeyes my BArabiEan F#drums
G#mShould I leave them by your C#mgate
Or Esad eyed lady should I Bwait?

Couplet
The Bkings of D#mTyrus with Etheir convict F#list
Are Bwaiting in line D#mfor their geranium Ekiss F#
And you Ewouldn't D#mknow it would Ehappen like Bthis
But D#mwho among them really Ewants just to F#kiss you?
BWith your D#mchildhood flames Eon your F#midnight rug
And your BSpanish D#mmanners and your Emother's drugs F#
And your Ecowboy D#mmouth and your Ecurfew plugs B
Who D#mamong them do you think Ecould F#resist you?

Couplet
Oh Bthe D#mfarmers and the Ebusinessmen F#they all did decide
To show Byou the dead D#mangels that they Eused to hide. F#
But why Edid they D#mpick you to Esympathize with Btheir side?
Oh how D#mcould they ever Emistake you? F#
BThey wished D#myou'd accepted Ethe blame F#for the farm
But with Bthe sea at D#myour feet and the Ephony false F#alarm
And with Ethe child D#mof a hoodlum Ewrapped up in Byour arms
How D#mcould they ever ever Epersuade you? F#

Couplet
BWith your D#msheet metal Ememory of F#Cannery Row
And your Bmagazine-D#mhusband who one day Ejust had to F#go
And your Egentleness D#mnow which you Ejust can't Bhelp but show
Who D#mamong them do you think Ewould F#employ you?
Now Byou stand D#mwith your Ethief you're F#on his parole
With your Bholy D#mmedallion which your Efingertips fold F#
And your Esaintlike D#mface and your Eghostlike Bsoul
Oh who D#mamong them do you Ethink could F#destroy you?
