[C]
[Em] [F]
[C] [G] [C]
[Em] [F]
[G] [C] With your [Em] mercury mouth [F] in the missionary [D] [G] times,
[C] In your eyes [G] like [Em] smoke, [F] in your [C] prayers like [Dm] [G] rhymes,
[F] In your still [Em] and cross, in [Dm] your voice [Am] like [C] chimes,
[Em] Who among them could [F] they really think [C] could bury you?
[G] [C] With your [Em] pockets well [F]
protected [Dm] at [G] last,
[C] In your [Em] streetcar visions [F] which you [Dm] place on the [G] grass,
[F] In your flesh [Em] like silk, [Dm] in your face [C] like glass,
Who [Em] among them [F] would try [Dm] to carry you?
[G] [Dm]
Sad-eyed lady of [C]
low length, [G] [Dm]
with sad-eyed props,
[C] Save that no [G] man can.
[C] With your sheets [G] like [Em] leather, in [F] your belt [Dm] like [G] lace,
In [C] your deck [Em] of cards, [F] missing the jack [C] and the [G] ace,
In [F] your basement [Em]
clothes, [Am] in your [Dm] [C] hollow veins,
[Em] Who among them [F]
really tried [Bb] to, I [C] guess, you?
[G]
[C] With your [Em] silhouette when [F] the sunlight [C]
[G] dims,
[C] In through [Em] your eyes [F] where the moonlight [G] swears,
[F] In your [Em] matchbook songs, [Dm] in your gypsy [C]
hands,
[Em] Who among them [F] would try [Dm] to impress [G] you?
[Dm] Sad-eyed lady [C] of low [G]
length, [Dm] with sad-eyed props,
Save [C] that no [G] man can.
My [F] where [G] [Dm] [C] [Dm] and my radiant [G] drums,
[Dm] Shall I bring them to [G] your gate?
[Dm] Or sad-eyed lady, should [C] I wait?
With your [Em] kings of tyrants [F] and their convict [C] [G] lists,
[C] They're waiting [Em] in line [C] for their [Dm] geranium [C] [F] gifts,
[G] [F] And you would [Em] not think it [D] would happen [C] like this,
[Em] Who among them
[F] really wants just to kiss you?
[G]
Kiss you [C] with your [Em] childhood flames, in [F] your midnight [C] rub,
[G] [Am] In your Spanish [G] manners, [F] in your [C]
mother's [G] drugs,
In [F] your cow [Em]
-white smile, [Dm] in your [C] curfew plugs,
[Em] Who among them [C] do you [F] think [C] could resist [Dm] you?
[G] Resist you?
[F] Sad-eyed lady [C] from the low [G] length, [Dm] with sad-eyed profits,
Save [C] that no [G] man can.
[C] Well, the farmers [Em] and the businessmen, [F] they [Dm] all [C] did [G] decide
To [C] show you [Em] the dead angels [F] which they all [Dm] used to [G] hide,
[F] But why [Em] did they pick you [Dm] to sympathize [C] with their side?
How [Em] could they [C] [Dm] ever, ever, ever [C] mistake [Dm] you?
[G] Mistake you?
[C] Oh, they wished you accepted [F] the blame for the [G] farmer,
[C] The sting [Em] at your feet, and [F] the pony falls [C] [G] alarm,
And [F] the child of [Em] a good Lord [Dm] wrapped up in [C] your arms,
[Em] How could they [F] ever, ever, ever [Dm] persuade you?
[C] Persuade [F] you?
[Dm] Sad-eyed lady [C] from the low length, [G] [Dm]
with sad-eyed profits,
Save [C] that no man [G] can.
[Fm] But when [Em] I [Dm] have [Am] [F] my Arabian [G]
drums,
[Dm]
Shall I leave them [C] at your gate, [G] [Dm]
or sad-eyed lady, should [C] I wait?
When [F]
[Em] [Dm] [C] I have my [F] [G] Arabian drums,
[Dm] Shall I bring them to [G] your gate,
[Dm] or [F] sad-eyed lady, should [C] I wait?
[F] But [Em] [D] when [Am] I have my Arabian [G]
[C] [G] drums,
[Dm]
Shall I bring them to your [C]
[G] gate, [Dm]
or sad-eyed lady, should [C] I wait?
