[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?
