[A] [E]
She lay [B] on her log, spun [F#m] and alone.
And when [A] the morning sun [E] arose,
Upon [B] Marie, in her [F#m] lacy clothes.
Little little [A] rose, as she walked [E] around
The [B] winding streets of [F#m] Camden Town.
She don't [A] know who she wants to [E] be.
And if I [B] knew, [A]
I'd tell [E] Marie.
Left for your soft and [E] swaying skirt.
Left for [B] your shoes, left for [F#m] your shirt.
I'm not the [A] lady killing [E] sore.
[B] Enough to hurt [A] a girl [E] in poor.
Oh, [B]
Cindy [A] tells me she's [E] had fun.
[B] Sitting backstage, someone's [F#m] plus one.
Up [A] in her room, the [E] records spin.
Needle [B] in the grooves, that [F#m] she's worn thin.
But she [A] lives her sleep, and she sees [E] her name.
And [B] she's got a smile on [F#] her [F#m] face.
And she's got [A] a story you [E] can't see.
[B] That's just between [A] that name and [E] Cindy.
[B]
And [A] before Holly made [E] her way [B] over the sea.
[F#m] And far away, [A] she's telling me.
Inside [E] her car, [B] driving us back from the crystal [F#m] corner bar.
I [A] lost it there, I fell [E] from health.
I cut [B] fresh new pieces from [F#m] myself.
And for [A] a second, something in [E] me said [B] leave today.
[A] It's time, [E] Holly, it's [B] time.
[B] Well, [A] I'm a weak and lonely [E] sore.
But [B] I'm not sailing just for [F#m] a spore.
I've [A] come to feel out [E] on the sea.
These [B] urgent lives press [F#m] against me.
[A] I'm just a guest, well, I'm not [E] a part.
But my [B] tender hand, but my [F#m] easy heart.
These [A] several years out on the sea.
[E] Have made me empty, cold and clear.
[A] Pour yourself into [E] me.
[F#] With all [A] your soft and [E] swaying skirt.
With [B] all your shoes, with all [F#m] your shirt.
I'm [A] not the lady killing the [E] sore.
[B] Enough to hurt [A] a [E] girl in the poor.
