Lady Midnight
Booklet Greatest Hits:
"This was finished in the Henry Hudson Hotel on 58th Street in New York.
Yafa was doing tricks with her silver bangles. I owe her the last verse.
It was recorded in Nashville. The voice is uncertain. In those days it
took me fifteen minutes to decide whether or not I should wear my cap
when I went outside and a half hour whether or not I should take it off
when I came back."
I Gcame by my-self tG7o a very cFrowded place;C  
 GI was looking for someoG7ne who had lines in her Fface.C  
I found her there   but shC7e was past all conF-cern;F  
I aCsked her to hold Fme,     EmsaDmid, "Lady, un-fold meDm,"
but Em7she Cscorned me and she told meF  
I was deaGd  and G7I could never re-turn.C  
Well, I argued all night like so many have before,
saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more."
Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor,
she said, "Don't try to use me or slyly refuse me,
just win me or lose me,
it is this that the darkness is for."
I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old,
the stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold."
"If we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored."
So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning,
I could hear my lady calling,
"FYou've won Gme, you've won me, my G7lord,C  
  you've won Gme, you've won me, my G7lord,C  
  Cyes, you've won Gme, you've won me, mG7y lord,C  
  Cah, you've won Gme, you've won me, mG7y lord,C  
  Cah, you've won Gme, you've won me, mG7y lord."C

Booklet Greatest Hits:

"This was finished in the Henry Hudson Hotel on 58th Street in New York.

Yafa was doing tricks with her silver bangles. I owe her the last verse.

It was recorded in Nashville. The voice is uncertain. In those days it

took me fifteen minutes to decide whether or not I should wear my cap

when I went outside and a half hour whether or not I should take it off

when I came back."

G G7 F C

I came by my-self to a very crowded place;

G G7 F C

I was looking for someone who had lines in her face.

C7 F F

I found her there but she was past all con-cern;

C F Em Dm Dm

I asked her to hold me, said, "Lady, un-fold me,"

but she scorned me and she told me

G G7 C

I was dead and I could never re-turn.

Well, I argued all night like so many have before,

saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more."

Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor,

she said, "Don't try to use me or slyly refuse me,

just win me or lose me,

it is this that the darkness is for."

I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old,

the stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold."

"If we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored."

So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning,

I could hear my lady calling,

F G G7 C

"You've won me, you've won me, my lord,

G G7 C

you've won me, you've won me, my lord,

C G G7 C

yes, you've won me, you've won me, my lord,

C G G7 C

ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord,

ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord."
