[Chorus]
G D Let fall your soft and swaying skirt A Em Let fall your shoes, let fall your shirt G D I'm not the lady killing sort A G D Enough to hurt a girl in port

[Verse 1]
G D Marie's gone blonde and lost a stone A Em She lay on her lawn, spun and alone G D And, when the morning sun it rose A Em Upon Marie in her lacy clothes
[Verse 2]
G D It lit her up, and she walked around A Em The winding streets of Camden Town G D She don't know who she wants to be A G D And if I knew, I'd tell Marie
[Chorus]
G D Let fall your soft and swaying skirt A Em Let fall your shoes, let fall your shirt G D I'm not the lady killing sort A G D Enough to hurt a girl in port

[Verse 3]
G D And Cindy tells me she's had fun A Em Sitting backstage, someone's plus one G D Up in her room the records spin A Em Needle in the grooves that she's worn thin
[Verse 4]
G D She lifts a sleeve and she sees a name A Em And she's got a smile on her face G D And she's got a story you can't see A G D That's just between that name and Cindy

[Verse 5]
G D And before Holly made her way A Em Over the sea and far away G D She's telling me, inside her car A Em Driving us back from the Crystal Corner bar
[Verse 6]
G D "I lost it there, I fell from health A Em Cut some fresh pieces from myself" G D And then, for a second, something in me A G D Said, "Leave today. It's time, Holly" It's time.

[Verse 7]
G D Well, I'm a weak and lonely sort A Em Though I'm not sailing just for sport G D I've come to feel, out on the sea A Em These urgent lives press against me
[Verse 8]
G D I'm just a guest. I'm not a part A Em With my tender head, with my easy heart G D These several years out on the sea A G D Made me empty, cold, and clear. Pour yourself into me
[Chorus]
G D Let fall your soft and swaying skirt A Em Let fall your shoes, let fall your shirt G D I'm not the lady killing sort A G D A Enough to hurt a girl in port
