--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | D | A | G | Asus4 A | | D | A | G | Asus4 A | [Verse 1]
          D       A            G          Asus4  A
With your mercury mouth in the missionary times

         D         A              G            Asus4  A
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes

G                D               Em7   A7   D
 And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes

    D           Em          A7sus4 A7 A7sus2 A7
Oh, who do they think could bu- ury you?
[Verse 2]
          D       A       G         Asus4  A
With your pockets well protected at last

         D         A                 G            Asus4  A
And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass

         G          D              Em7  A7   D
And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass

D              Em     A7sus4 A7 A7sus2 A7
Who could they get to carry you?
[Chorus]
Em                   D  A
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

Em                                    D     |  A  |  A7  |
 Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes

   D   A     G     D   G D    Asus4 A | A |
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums

Em                          A7sus4 A7 A7sus2 A7
  Should I put them by your gate

    Em                      |  D  |  %  |
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
[Verse 3]
          D           A              G         Asus4  A
With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace,

         D        A       G                     Asus4  A
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace

         G        D                Em7  A7 D
And your basement clothes and your hollow  face

     D               Em                A7sus4 A7 A7sus2 A7
Who among them could think he could outguess you?
[Verse 4]
          D  A      G                  Asus4  A
With your silhouette when the sunlight dims

D           A              G         Asus4  A
  Into your eyes where the moonlight swims

G                    D              Em7  A7 D
 And your match-book songs and your gypsy   hymns

     D               Em             A7sus4 A7 A7sus2 A7
Who among them would try to impress you?
[Chorus]
Em                    D       A
 Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

          Em                         D     |  A  |  A7
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes

   D   A     G     D   G D    Asus4 A | A |
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums

Em                          A7sus4 A7 A7sus2 A7
  Should I put them by your gate

    Em                      |  D  |  %  |
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
[Verse 5]
    D        A                G       Asus4  A
The kings of Tyrus with their convict list

    D          A              G        Asus4  A
Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss

G                D             Em7  A7     D
And you wouldn't know it would happen like this

         D         Em                   A7sus4 A7 A7sus2 A7
But who among them really wants just to kiss you?
[Verse 6]
          D         A              G        Asus4  A
With your childhood flames on your midnight rug

         D       A                G        Asus4  A
And your Spanish manners and your mother's drugs

G               D              Em7  A7 D
And your cowboy mouth and your curfew  plugs

     D                Em            A7sus4 A7 A7sus2 A7
Who among them do you think could resist you?
[Chorus]
Em                    D  A
 Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

Em                                   D     |  A  |  A7  |
 Where the sad-eyed prophet say that no man comes

   D   A     G     D   G D    Asus4 A | A7 |
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums

Em                            A7sus4 A7 A7sus2 A7
  Should I leave them by your gate

    Em                      |  D  |  %  |
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
[Verse 7]
        D               A            G              Asus4  A
Oh, the farmers and the businessmen, they all did decide

   D                  A               G                 Asus4  A
To show you where the dead angels are that they used to hide

    G                 D           Em7  A7          D
But why did they pick you to sympathize with their side?

    D          Em      A7sus4 A7 A7sus2 A7
How could they ever mistake you?
[Verse 8]
     D              A          G             Asus4  A
They wished you'd accepted the blame for the farm

             D           A            G            Asus4  A
But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm

             G          D       Em7        A7      D
And with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms

D              Em            A7sus4 A7 A7sus2 A7
How could they ever, ever persuaded you?
[Chorus]
Em                   D  A
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

Em                                      D     |  A  |  A7  |
 Where the sad-eyed prophet say that no man comes

   D   A     G     D   G D    Asus4 A | A |
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums

Em                          A7sus4 A7 A7sus2 A7
  Should I put them by your gate

    Em                      |  D  |  %  |
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
[Verse 9]
          D           A         G       Asus4  A
With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row

         D        A               G               Asus4  A
And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go

         G          D    Em7            A7             D
And your gentleness now, which you just can't help but show

D                     Em            A7sus4 A7 A7sus2 A7
Who among them do you think would employ you?
[Verse 10]
D                       A             G        Asus4  A
Now you stand with your thief, you're on his parole

          D      A               G                   Asus4  A
With your holy medallion in your fingertips now that fold

         G         D             Em7  A7   D
And your saintlike face and your ghostlike soul

     D                    Em               A7sus4 A7 A7sus2 A7
Who among them could ever think he could destroy you
[Chorus]
Em                   D  A
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

Em                                   D     |  A  |  A7  |
 Where the sad-eyed prophet say that no man comes

   D   A     G     D   G D    Asus4 A | A |
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums

Em                            A7sus4 A7 A7sus2 A7
  Should I leave them by your gate

    Em                      |  D  |  %  |
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
