Lady Eleanor  (Alan Hull)
------------
Capo on 7th
Intro:
Am*  Em*  x12
1.)
Bashee playing magician sitting lotus on the floor,
 Am*                              Em*
Belly dancing beauty with a power driven saw.
 Am*                          Em*
Had my share of nightmares, didn't think there could be much more,
 Am*                                 Em*
then in walked Roderick Usher with the Lady Eleanor.
                       C                D  Em*
2.)
She tied my eyes with ribbon of a silken ghostly thread,
    Am*                             Em*
I gazed with trouble vision on an old four poster bed.
    Am*                           Em*
Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head
        Am*                          Em*
and bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead.
                  C                     D  Em*
Chorus:
But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
              C       D  G*    Em*
All right, Lady Eleanor
    C        D  G*    Em*
I'm all right where I am.
 G       D            A
3.)
She gazed with loving beauty like a mother to a son,
     Am*                              Em*
like living, dying, seeing, being all rolled into one.
      Am*                         Em*
Then all at once I heard some music playing in my bones,
     Am*                              Em*
the same old song I'd heard for years, reminding me of home.
                       C                   D  Em*
Chorus:
But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
              C       D  G*    Em*
All right, Lady Eleanor
    C        D  G*    Em*
I'm all right where I am.
 G       D            A
4.)
Then creeping on towards me, licking lips with tongues of fire
        Am*                           Em*
a host of golden demons screaming lust and base desire
   Am*                             Em*
and when it seemed for certain that the screams could get no higher
     Am*                                  Em*
I heard a voice above the rest screaming  "You're a liar".
                 C                 D  Em*
Chorus:
But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
              C       D  G*    Em*
All right, Lady Eleanor
    C        D  G*    Em*
I'm all right...  here in your arms.
