Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands chords
Bob Dylan 1966 (Blonde on Blonde)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sad_Eyed_Lady_of_the_Lowlands
Capo II **
C G FG7
2x
C G F G7
*
With your mercury mouth in the missionary times,
C G F G
*
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes,
F C Dm G7 C
And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes,
C Dm G7 G
Oh, who do they think could bury you?
C G F G7
With your pockets well protected at last,
C G F G
And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass,
F C Dm G7 C
And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass,
C Dm G7 G
who could they get to carry you?
Dm C G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Dm C G7 G
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
C G F C F C G
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Dm G7 G
Should I put them by your gate,
Dm C G
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
C G F G7
With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace,
C G F G
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace,
F C Dm G7 C
And your basement clothes and your hollow face,
C Dm G7 G
Who among them can think he could outguess you?
C G F G7
With your silhouette when the sunlight dims
C G F G
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims,
F C Dm G7 C
And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns,
C Dm G7 G
Who among them would try to impress you?
Dm C G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Dm C G7 G
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
C G F C F C G7
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Dm G7 G
Should I put them by your gate,
Dm C G
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
C G F G7
The kings of Tyrus with their convict list
C G F G
Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss,
F C Dm G7 C
And you wouldn't know it would happen like this,
C Dm G7 G
But who among them really wants just to kiss you?
C G F G7
With your childhood flames on your midnight rug,
C G F G
And your Spanish manners and your mother's drugs,
F C Dm G7 C
And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs,
C Dm G7 G
Who among them do you think could resist you?
Dm C G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Dm C G7 G
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
C G F C F C G7
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Dm G7 G
Should I put them by your gate,
Dm C G
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
C G F G7
Oh, the farmers and the businessmen, they all did decide
C G F G
To show you the dead angels that they used to hide.
F C Dm G7 C
But why did they pick you to sympathize with their side?
C Dm G7 G
Oh, how could they ever mistake you?
C G F G7
They wished you'd accepted the blame for the farm,
C G F G
But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm,
F C Dm G7 C
And with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms,
C Dm G7 G
How could they ever, ever persuade you?
Dm C G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Dm C G7 G
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
C G F C F C G7
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Dm G7 G
Should I put them by your gate,
Dm C G
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
C G F G7
With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row,
C G F G
And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go,
F C Dm G7 C
And your gentleness now, which you just can't help but show,
C Dm G7 G
Who among them do you think would employ you?
C G F G7
Now you stand with your thief, you're on his parole
C G F G
With your holy medallion which your fingertips fold,
F C Dm G7 C
And your saint like face and your ghostlike soul,
C Dm G7 G
Oh, who among them do you think could destroy you?
Dm C G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Dm C G7 G
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
C G F C F C G7
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Dm G7 G
Should I put them by your gate,
Dm C G
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
