Mis[Gm]s Otis

[Verse 1]
regrets she's unable to lunch today, [C]ma [F]'am.[Fm]
[F]Maxwell, what [Fm]did you say?
[F]I said Miss [C]Otis regrets
[A]she's unable to lunch today.
[Dm]And [G]why can't she?
[Gm]She's sorry to be delayed.
But let
Last evening, [F]down in Lover's [F#dim]Lane,
she [C]strayed,
[F]ma 'am. Lover's Lane?
What on earth was she doing there?
I don't know, ma 'am.
But Miss Otis re[A]grets she's unable
[Dm]to lunch [F]today.[C]
[F]Maxwell. [Dm]Yes, [G]ma 'am.[Gm]
What happened?
When she woke [C]up and found [Gm]that her
dream of love [C]was gone, madam,
[F]she ran to the man[C] who
[A]led her so far astray.
[Dm]Silly girl[Gm].
And from under her velvet gown,
[C]she drew a gun
[F]and shot her lover [C]down, madam.
[F]She should never wear velvet.
[F]Nevertheless, Miss Otis re [A]grets she's
unable to lunch y[C]ou.[C]
Maxwell. Please don't snap, madam.
Oh, John.
[C]Were there any rep[F]ercussions?
[Gm]When[C] the mob
came and got her
[C]and dragged her from the jail, madam.
[Gm]The mob? The jail? How come?
They strung her up on the
[A]old willow
across the [Dm]way.
Quite a [G]message.
[F]And the [Gm]moment before she died. Died?
She lifted up her lovely [Gm]head and [C]cried.
[Bb]What did she [Bbm]say?
Miss Otis regrets she's funny.
