I've been listening to Stewart's recording lately and suddenly realized
that the chord sequence in the last line of the BRIDGE has a beautifully
weird ring to it. When I submitted this tab some years ago, I heard a G/B
there. The changes are so fast there and it's all so hazy, but now I think
the chord is actually Bdim7. Sounds great and fits the vocal melody
perfectly. Let me know what you think!

[Intro]
| Am | % |
[Verse 1]
Am C Lucy worked a different club every day G And though she put her mind to it Dm F Her heart was never in it Am C She stayed around just long enough to get paid G Dm F She won't pass the time with you, she can't stay a minute
[Bridge]
G G7 Am And all these changing faces never bothered her at all G F C G They just existed like a back-drop or a pattern on the wall G7 Am Lucy looks like someone who is waiting for a call Bdim7 Am Bdim7 Am Bdim7 E | Am | % | She knows will come, but no-one else can hear at all
[Verse 2]
Am C Lucy finds the dressing room and the bar G Hangs her clothes up, hopes tonight Dm F The contract won't be broken Am C Well, they kick you round so much when you're not a star G Dm F Make you play all night just for a pittance or a token
[Bridge]
G G7 Am But all these imperfections never bothered her at all G F C G She says it sharpens your perception when your back's against the wall G7 Am There's something that enables her to rise above it all Bdim7 Am Bdim7 Am Bdim7 E To shrug it off, just when it seems to go too far
[Chorus]
Am G Fmaj7 Esus4 Em Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost feel the pain comin' on inside Am G Fmaj7 Esus4 Em Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost feel it now and you don't know why Dm | Am | % | You don't know why, mmmmh
[Solo]

[Bridge]
G G7 Am The last time that I saw her she had given up the chase G F C G Moved away to California, got a suntan on her face G7 Am She says that life was just another time another space Bdim7 Am Bdim7 Am Bdim7 E It's over now, she learned a lot, it's not a waste
[Chorus]
Am G Fmaj7 Esus4 Em Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost feel the pain comin' on inside Am G Fmaj7 Esus4 Em Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost feel it now and you don't know why Am G Fmaj7 Esus4 Em Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost feel the pain comin' on inside Am G Fmaj7 Esus4 Em Hey, hey, hey, I think you almost feel it now and you don't know why Dm Am You don't know why, mmmmh [repeat Am and fade)
