Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands chords

Capo II **

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?
