Capo II (Key: D)
C G F G7 2x
C G
With your mercury mouth
F G7
in the missionary times,
C G
And your eyes like smoke
F G
and your prayers like rhymes,
F C
And your silver cross,
Dm G7 C
and your voice like chimes,
C Dm G7 G
Oh, who do they think could bury you?
C G F G7
With your pockets well protected at last,
C G
And your streetcar visions
F G
which you place on the grass,
F C
And your flesh like silk,
Dm G7 C
and your face like glass,
C Dm G7 G
who could they get to carry you?
Dm C G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Dm
Where the sad-eyed prophet says
C G7 G
that no man comes,
C G F C F C G
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Dm G7 G
Should I put them by your gate,
Dm C G
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
C G
With your sheets like metal
F G7
and your belt like lace,
C
And your deck of cards
G F G
missing the jack and the ace,
F C
And your basement clothes
Dm G7 C
and your hollow face,
C Dm
Who among them can think
G7 G
he could outguess you?
C G F G7
With your silhouette when the sunlight dims
C G F G
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims,
F C
And your match-book songs
Dm G7 C
and your gypsy hymns,
C Dm G7 G
Who among them would try to impress you?
Dm C G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Dm
Where the sad-eyed prophet says
C G7 G
that no man comes,
C G F C F C G7
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Dm G7 G
Should I put them by your gate,
Dm C G
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
C G F G7
The kings of Tyrus with their convict list
C G F G
Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss,
F C
And you wouldn't know
Dm G7 C
it would happen like this,
C Dm
But who among them really wants
G7 G
just to kiss you?
C G
With your childhood flames
F G7
on your midnight rug,
C G
And your Spanish manners
F G
and your mother's drugs,
F C
And your cowboy mouth
Dm G7 C
and your curfew plugs,
C Dm
Who among them do you think
G7 G
could resist you?
Dm C G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Dm
Where the sad-eyed prophet says
C G7 G
that no man comes,
C G F C F C G7
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Dm G7 G
Should I put them by your gate,
Dm C G
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
C G
Oh, the farmers and the businessmen,
F G7
they all did decide
C G
To show you the dead angels
F G
that they used to hide.
F C
But why did they pick you
Dm G7 G
to sympathize with their side?
C Dm G7 G
Oh, how could they ever mistake you?
C G
They wished you'd accepted
F G7
the blame for the farm,
C G
But with the sea at your feet
F G
and the phony false alarm,
F C
And with the child of a hoodlum
Dm G7 G
wrapped up in your arms,
C Dm G7 G
How could they ever, ever persuade you?
Dm C G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Dm
Where the sad-eyed prophet says
C G7 G
that no man comes,
C G F C F C G7
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Dm G7 G
Should I put them by your gate,
Dm C G
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
C G F G7
With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row,
C G
And your magazine-husband
F G
who one day just had to go,
F C
And your gentleness now,
Dm G7 G
which you just can't help but show,
C Dm
Who among them do you think
G7 G
would employ you?
C G
Now you stand with your thief,
F G7
you're on his parole
C G
With your holy medallion
F G
which your fingertips fold,
F C
And your saint like face
Dm G7 G
and your ghostlike soul,
C Dm
Oh, who among them do you think
G7 G
could destroy you?
Dm C G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Dm
Where the sad-eyed prophet says
C G7 G
that no man comes,
C G F C F C G7
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Dm G7 G
Should I put them by your gate,
Dm C G
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
