Lady Chords by Regina Spektor

Ladies sing the [G] blues [Ab] so well
As if [F] she mean it
_ _ [Ab] As if it's hell down here in [C] a smoke filled world
Where the jokes are cool, they don't laugh at jokes
They laugh at _ _ tragedies
_ _ _ Corner street [G] _ [Ab] societies
_ _ _ [Fm] But they believe her
They never leave her while
She sings, she makes them [G] feel safe _
_ _ _ She [C] says, I [Cm] _ can sing _ this song
_ _ [Ab] So blue [Cm] that you will cry _ _ _ in spite _ [F] of you _
[Cm] Little wet [Gm] tears on your _ [Fm] baby's shoulder
_ _ _ Little wet tears on your [G] baby's shoulder _
_ [G] And _ _ _ [Cm] _
I have walked these _ streets [Ab] so long
[Cm] There ain't nothing right
_ [Gm] _ There [Ab] ain't nothing [Fm] wrong
_ _ _ But [Cm] the little wet tears [Gm] on [Eb] my [Ab] baby's shoulder
[Fm] _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] Little wet tears on my _ [G] baby's shoulder _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] Lady [Cm] lights a [Ab] cigarette, [Fm] puffs away, no regret
Takes a look around, no [G] regrets, no regrets
[Cm] Stretches out like branches [Fm] of a poplar tree
Says, I'm free
_ [G]
Sings so soft as if she'll break
[Cm] Says, I can sing this song
[Ab] So blue [Cm] that you will cry in spite [F] of you
[Cm] Little [Gm] wet tears on your [Ab] baby's shoulder _
Little [Fm] wet tears on your [G] baby's shoulder
And [Cm] I have walked these streets so [C] long
There ain't nothing [Gm] right [Ab] Nothing wrong
_ [C] But the little wet [Gm] tears on [Ab] my baby's shoulder
[Fm] _ Little wet tears on my [G] baby's shoulder
_ _ _ _ [C] But on this [Am] stage, [Eb] I've learned to fly
[G] _ Learned to sing and [A] learned to cry
_ _ [Dm] Little wet tears [A] on my baby's shoulder
[F] Little wet tears on [G] my baby's shoulder
_ _ _ [C] But now it's time [G] to say goodbye
_ [Gm]
Some might laugh, but [A] I will surely [Dm] cry
_ Little wet tears on [A] my baby's shoulder
_ [G] Little wet [Dm] tears on my [G] baby's shoulder _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Lady _ [Ab] lights a cigarette, _
_ _ _ [F] puffs away _
And [Fm] winter comes, _ _ [G] and she
_ _ [D] _ _ [Cm]
Never will turn back time [Fm] again _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
