Chords for John Sebastian - "She's a Lady"

[N] John Sebastian is going to sing a song that [G] I really like.
[A] It's called She's a Lady.
Ladies [G] and gentlemen, John Sebastian.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ She's [Db] a _ lady
_ [Bbm] _ _ And [Gb] I chance to meet her in [Ab] my _ [Db] scuffling day
_ She's a lady _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ [Fm] Hypnotized me there that [Ab]
day
I [Bbm] came to play in my usual [Gb] _ way
Hey, _ _ _ [Eb] floating along with a whimsical _ twinkling [Ab] in her strange green [Fm] _ eyes
_ [Eb] Linger with me, she said yes, and [Ab] oh, the [G] time did [Fm] fly _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ She's a [Db] _ _ lady _
[Bbm] _ _ Give her [Gb] time, for [Fm] she's allowed to change [Db] her mind _
She's a lady _ _
[Gb] Happy to say she [Ab] once was mine
_ [Bbm] Only sometime I remember [Gb] old times _ _ _ _ _
_ And [Eb] when she says, can you guess, it's a dress you [Ab] won't _ believe
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] Would you come zip me up and [Ab] button up my sleeve
[Fm] _ _ _ _
Oh, [Eb] _ _ [Bb] lady, _ _ _ _ _ lady [Fm] [Ab] of _
[Eb] _ ladies _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ I [C] remember [Fm] days that felt [Bb] like it was [Eb] rainin' _ daisies _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ That [Bm] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [B] was, that's about [Db] as fine a song as could be, She's a Lady.
And I don't say that [Gb] to most performers that are on this show.
I really, [E] I _ wish I could write songs like that.
You know, I have a [A] kind of poetic thing [B] inside of me trying to creep out all the time.
Yeah.
You know, I suppose you hear a lot about that on the street.
Has it crept out yet?
Just an occasional booga booga.
[Am] _ _ [Db] _ _ That's as [C] poetic as it gets.
Appropriate on this [B] show, however.
Yeah.
John, _ [A] in that, _ in that I have the high stool, I'd like to ask you to do something.
[Cm] Would you play that beautiful [A] background thing that you do so [G] well
as I introduce Buffy St.
Marie, my next introduction?
Some, [A] uh_
Just some nice soft music so [G] I get into it, you know?
It's just a pleasure to have a [Ab] guitarist here as well as a poet as well.
Can I play the mush [Eb] harp?
Oh, sure. _
Okay.
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ In a coffeehouse, _ _ Sebastian sat, _ _ and after every number, they [A] passed the hat. _ _ _
That's a lyric [D] from the Mamas and Papas songs.
[Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Describing the_
[Ab] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [B] _ _ And if they [Ab] start_
_ [D] _ _ _ While Sebastian sat in [Bb] one coffeehouse, _ _ [Eb] _ further down [C] McDougal Street _ _ [G] was _ _ another [Bm] coffeehouse. _ _ _
Sounds [D] like a bad version of Peter and the Wolf, you [B] know?
It goes like this.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] Another songwriter, _ [D] not Bob Dylan.
_ _ Oh, no, wait, Bob Dylan.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ But a lady _ [Gb] whose people even now proudly occupy _ Alcatraz Island.
Yay. _
_ Ladies and gentlemen, time to do it right. _ _
