Lady

Lady sing the blues so well as if she mean it

As if it's hell down here in the smoke filled world where the jokes are cold

Dm E
They never leave her while she sings, she makes them feel things
Chorus

She says "I can sing this song so blue
Am Dm E
That you will cry in spite of you
Am Dm
Little wet tears on your baby's shoulder
Am E
Little wet tears on your baby's shoulder
Verse
Am Dm
And I have walked these streets so long
Am Dm E
There ain't nothin' right, there ain't nothin' wrong
Am Dm
But the little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
Am E
Little wet tears on my baby's shoulder"
Verse
Am E Dm E
Lady lights a cigarette, puffs away, no regrets
Dm Am E
Takes a look around, no regrets no regrets

Says "I am free", sings so soft as if she'll break

Little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
