Lick before "Should i leave them..." *
[Intro] C/G Em7 F Gsus4 G C/G Em7 F Gsus4 G [Verse 1]
          C/G         Em7        F           Gsus4 G
With your mercury mouth in the missionary times

          C/G         Em7           F             Gsus4 G
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes

        F       C/G              Dm         C/G
And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes

C/G                        Dm          Gsus4 G Gsus2 G
Oh, who among them do they think could bury you?

          C/G          Em7       F   Gsus4 G
With your pockets well protected at last

         C/G            Em7          F            Gsus4 G
And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass

         F          C/G            Dm         C/G
And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass

C/G                    Dm          Gsus4 G Gsus2 G
Who among them do they think could carry you?
[Chorus]
Dm                   C/G   G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

Dm                              C/G         G7
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes

   C/G G     F     C/G  F C/G G7*
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums

Dm                          G7*
Should I leave them by your gate

    Dm                      C/G
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
[Verse 2]
          C/G         Em7        F           Gsus4 G
With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace

          C/G         Em7        F           Gsus4 G
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace

          F       C/G              Dm         C/G
And your basement clothes and your hollow face

C/G                    Dm          Gsus4 G Gsus2 G
Who among them can think he could outguess you?

          C/G         Em7        F           Gsus4 G
With your silhouette when the sunlight dims

          C/G         Em7        F           Gsus4 G
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims

          F       C/G              Dm         C/G
And your matchbook songs and your gypsy hymns

C/G                    Dm          Gsus4 G Gsus2 G
Who among them would try to impress you?
[Chorus]
Dm                   C/G   G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

Dm                              C/G         G7
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes

   C/G G     F     C/G  F C/G G7*
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums

Dm                          G7*
Should I leave them by your gate

    Dm                      C/G
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
[Verse 3]
    C/G         Em7        F          Gsus4 G
The kings of Tyrus with their convict list

    C/G         Em7           F        Gsus4 G
Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss

          F       C/G              Dm         C/G
And you wouldn’t know it would happen like this

C/G                    Dm          Gsus4 G Gsus2 G
But who among them really wants just to kiss you?

    C/G         Em7        F          Gsus4 G
With your childhood flames on your midnight rug

    C/G         Em7        F          Gsus4 G
And your Spanish manners and your mother’s drugs

          F       C/G              Dm         C/G
And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs

C/G                    Dm          Gsus4 G Gsus2 G
Who among them do you think could resist you?
[Chorus]
Dm                   C/G   G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

Dm                              C/G         G7
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes

   C/G G     F     C/G  F C/G G7*
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums

Dm                          G7*
Should I leave them by your gate

    Dm                      C/G
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
[Verse 4]
        C/G         Em7              F          Gsus4 G
Oh, the farmers and the businessmen, they all did decide

    C/G         Em7              F          Gsus4 G
To show you the dead angels that they used to hide

     F             C/G              Dm         C/G
But why did they pick you to sympathize with their side?

C/G                 Dm      Gsus4 G Gsus2 G
Oh, how could they ever mistake you?

        C/G         Em7              F          Gsus4 G
They wished you’d accepted the blame for the farm

        C/G         Em7              F          Gsus4 G
But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm

     F             C/G              Dm         C/G
And with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms

C/G                 Dm      Gsus4 G Gsus2 G
How could they ever, ever persuade you?
[Chorus]
Dm                   C/G   G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

Dm                              C/G         G7
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes

   C/G G     F     C/G  F C/G G7*
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums

Dm                          G7*
Should I leave them by your gate

    Dm                      C/G
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
[Verse 5]
          C/G         Em7       F         Gsus4 G
With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row

         C/G         Em7             F          Gsus4 G
And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go

         F           C/G              Dm         C/G
And your gentleness now, which you just can’t help but show

C/G                   Dm      Gsus4 G Gsus2 G
Who among them do you think would employ you?

          C/G         Em7       F         Gsus4 G
Now you stand with your thief, you’re on his parole

          C/G         Em7           F          Gsus4 G
With your holy medallion which your fingertips fold

         F           C/G         Dm         C/G
And your saintlike face and your ghostlike soul

C/G                       Dm          Gsus4 G Gsus2 G
Oh, who among them do you think could destroy you?
[Chorus]
Dm                   C/G   G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

Dm                              C/G         G7
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes

   C/G G     F     C/G  F C/G G7*
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums

Dm                          G7*
Should I leave them by your gate

    Dm                      C/G
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
