Iron Lady chords by Phil Ochs

Have (E minor) you seen

the iron (E minor) lady's (A minor) charms

Legs (E minor) of steel, (C major) leather (E minor) on her (A minor) arms

(F major) Takin' on (D minor) a man to die

A (E minor) life for a life, (A minor) an eye for an eye

(F major) And that's the (D minor) iron lady

(A minor) in the (G major) chair (A minor)

Stop (E minor) the murder,

(C major) deter (E minor) the crimes (A minor) away

Only (E minor) killing (C major) shows killing (E minor) doesn't (A minor) pay

Yes, (F major) that's the kind (D minor) of law it takes (E minor)

Even though we (A minor) make mistakes

(F major) And sometimes (D minor) send the wrong

man (A minor) to the (G major) chair (A minor)

In (E minor) the death row (C major) (E minor) waiting for their (A minor) turn

No (E minor) time to change,

(C major) not (E minor) a chance to (A minor) learn

(F major) Waiting for (D minor) someone to call,

(E minor) say it's over (A minor) after all

They (F major) won't have to face (D minor) the

justice (A minor) of the (G major) chair

Just (E minor) before (C major) they serve

(E minor) him one last (A minor) meal

Shave (E minor) his head, (C major) oh,

they ask (E minor) him how he (A minor) feels

(F major) Then the warden comes (D minor) to say goodbye

(E minor) Reporters come (A minor) to watch him die

(F major) Watch him (D minor) as he's strapped

in (A minor) to (G major) the chair (A minor)

An (E minor) d the chaplain,

(C major) he read (E minor) s the fi (A minor) nal prayer

(E minor) Be brave my son, (C major)

the Lord (E minor) is wait (A minor) ing there

(F major) Oh, murder is so (D minor) wrong you see

(E minor) Both the Bible (A minor) an d the courts agree

(F major) That the state's allowed (D minor) to

murder (A minor) in the (G major) chair (A minor)

In (E minor) the courtroom,

(C major) watch the bal (E minor) ance of (A minor) the scales

(E minor) If the price is right, (C major)

there's (E minor) time for more (A minor) ap peals

The (F major) strings are (D minor) pulled, the switch is stayed

(E minor) The finest law (A minor) yers fees are paid

(F major) And a rich man's nev (D minor) er

died upon (A minor) (G major) the chair (A minor)

Have (E minor) you seen (C major) the iron (E minor) lady's (A minor) charms

Legs (E minor) of steel, (C major) leather (E minor) on her (A minor) arms

(F major) Takin' on (D minor) a man to die

A (E minor) life for a life, an (A minor) eye for an eye

(F major) And that's the (D minor) iron lady in the chair
