Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands chords by Julie Felix
Verse 1
G
With your mercury mouth
Em
C
in the missionary times
D
G
And your eyes like smoke
Em
C
and your prayers like rhyme
D
C
And your silver cross
Bm
C
G
and your voice like chimes
Bm
Am
Who among them do you think
D
could bury you?
G
Em
C
D
With your pockets well protected at last
G
Em
And your streetcar visions
C
which you place on the grass
D
C
And your flesh like silk
Bm
C
G
and your face like glass
Bm
Oh, who among them do you
Am
D
think could carry
Am
G
D
Sad -eyed lady of the lowlands
Am
Where the sad -eyed prophet
G
D
says that no man comes
G
D
C
My warehouse eyes,
G
Am
D
my Arabian drums
Am
D
Should I leave them by your gates?
Am
G
Sad -eyed lady, should I wait?
Em
With your sheets like metal,
C
and your belt like lace
D
G
Em
And your deck of cards
C
Missing the jack and the ace
D
C
And your basement clothes
Bm
C
G
And your hollow face
Bm
Am
Who among them do you think
D
Could outguess you
G
With your silhouette
Em
Am
When the sunlight did
D
G
Em
C
Into your eyes where the
D
moonlight smooths
C
Bm
And your matchbook songs,
C
G
and your gypsy hymns
Bm
Who among them would
Am
D
try to impress you?
Am
G
D
Oh, -eyed lady of the low land
Am
Where the sad -eyed prophet
G
D
says that no man comes
G
D
C
My warehouse eyes,
G
Am
D
my Arabian promise
Am
D
Should I leave them by your gate?
Am
G
Or sad -eyed lady, should I wait?
Em
Now the kings of Tyrus
C
with their convict list
D
G
Em
Are waiting in line for
C
their geranium kiss
D
C
But you wouldn't know
Bm
C
it would happen like this
G
Bm
But who among them
Am
D
really wants just to kiss you
G
With your childhood flames
Em
C
D
on your midnight run
G
Em
And your Spanish manners
C
and your mother's dress
D
C
Bm
And your cowboy mouths
C
and your curfew gloves
G
Bm
Who among them do you think
Am
D
could resist you?
Am
G
D
Sad -eyed lady of the lowlands
Am
Where the sad -eyed prophet
G
D
says that no man comes
G
D
C
My warehouse eyes,
G
Am
D
my Arabian drums
Am
D
Should I leave them by your gift
Am
G
Or sadly leave, should I wait
Em
Now the farmers and the businessmen
C
D
G
They all did decide to show you
Em
where the dead angels are
C
D
that they used to hide
C
But why did they pick you
Bm
C
G
to sympathize with their side?
Bm
Am
D
Oh, how could they ever mistake you
G
Em
When they wished you'd accepted
C
the blame for the fire
D
G
But with the sea at your feet
Em
C
and the foley false alarm
D
C
Bm
And with a child of a hoodlum
C
G
wrapped up in your arms
Bm
Am
D
Oh, how could they ever persuade you?
Am
G
D
Sad -eyed lady of the lowlands
Am
Where the sad -eyed prophet
G
D
says that no man comes
G
D
C
My warehouse eyes,
G
Am
D
my Arabian thrums
Am
D
Should I leave them by your gates
Am
G
Oh, sadly, should I wait
With your sheet metal
Em
C
memory of cannery roll
D
G
And your magazine husband
Em
C
D
who one day just had to go
C
And your gentleness now
Bm
C
G
which you just can't help but show
Bm
who among them do you think
Am
D
would employ you now
G
you stand with your faith
Em
C
you're on his parole
D
G
Em
with your holy madame
C
D
with your fingertips in full
C
Bm
And you're saint -like face,
C
and you're ghost -like soul
G
Bm
Who among them do you think
Am
D
could destroy you?
Am
G
D
Oh, sad -eyed lady of the lowlands
Am
Where the sad -eyed prophets
G
D
say that no man comes
G
D
C
My warehouse eyes,
G
Am
D
my Arabian drones
Am
D
Should I leave them by your gates?
Am
G
Oh, sad -eyed lady, should I wait
Am
D
Should I leave them by your gate
Am
G
Sad -eyed lady, should I wait
