Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh, [C]Lyd[D]ia,[G][Am][D][G][F][Am][D][G]
oh, Lydia, say, have you met Lydia,
Oh, Lydia, the tattooed [D]lady?
[C]She [G]has eyes that [Am]folks [G]ad ore so,
And a [Am]torso even more [G]so,
Oh, Lydia, oh, Lydia, that encyclopedia,
[D]Oh, Lyd[G]ia, the Queen of Tattoo[C].
On her [G]back is the Battle [A]of [Am]Water[D]loo,
Be[G]side it the wreck of the [Am]Hesperus [D]II,
And [G]proudly above waves the red,
[C]white, and [Adim]blue.
[Cm]You can [G]lear[A]n a lot from[D]
[G]Lydia.[Am][D][G][D][G]
[F]She can [Bb]give you a view
of the world in [F]tattoo
If you [Cm]step up and tell her where
[F]For [Cm]a dime you can see Kentucky or [F]Paris
Or [Cm]Washington crossing [F]the
[Bb]Delaware[F][Bb][G][D][G][Am][G]
[D]Oh, [G]oh, Lydia, say, have you met Lydia,
Oh, Lydia, that tattooed [D]lady?
[C]When her [G]muscles start relaxin',
Up the [D]hill [E]comes [Am]Andrew [D]Jackson.
Lydi[G]a, oh, Lydia, that encyclopedia,
oh, Lydia, the champ of them [C]all
For two [G]bits she will do [Bb]a maz[A]urka in ja[D]zz,
with a [G]view of Niagara that [Am]no artist ha[D]s
And [G]on a clear day you
[F]can see Alcat[Adim]raz
[Ab]You [G]can lear[A]n a lot from[D] Ly di[G]a
[D]La la la, la la [G]la, la la [Bb]la, [F]la la [Bb]la[Eb][F#][F]
Come [Bb]see Buffalo Bill with his lasso
Just a little classic by
Mendel Picas[Cm]so
[F]Here's [Cm]Spalding exploring the [F]Amazon
And Godiva, but with her pajamas [Bb]on
La, la, [F]la, la, la, [Bb]la, la, la, la, [G]la,
[D]la, la, la, [G]la, la, la, [Ab]la, la.
Ly[G]dia, oh, Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Oh, Lydia, the champ of them [C]all.
[G]She once swept an admir[A]al
clear off his [D]feet,
The [G]ships on her hips
made his heart [Am]skip a [D]beat,
And [G]now the old boy's
in command of [C]the [Ab]fleet
For [A]he went and [D]married [G]Lydia
