[Intro 1]
[Am][D][Am][D][G][C][G][C]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]I met a girl
[C]in L.A. and she [G]seemed alright to [C]me,
She [G]said she'd give [C]me loving and
she [Am]said it would be [D]free,
She [G]told me she [C]would call me or
leave a [G]message at [C]the door,
And [Am]left me wondering what
[D]I was in for.
[G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]
By the nex[G]t time that I s[C]aw her
I [G]had clean forgot her [C]name
And [G]without [C]her fancy make- up
she just [Am]didn't look the [D]same,
So I [G]totally [C]ignored her and
[G]she sadly turned [C]away,
And through [Am]sympathy I [D]told
her she could stay.
[G]

[Verse 3]
Oh poor [Em]lady, midnight [G]baby,
No one [Bm]wants your love at [D]all,
Oh poor [Em]lady, midnight [G]baby,
Now you're [Bm]heading for a[D] fall,
And you [C]really think your're something,
you know [G]all the things [D]to do
But poor [Em]lady, just [C]a baby,
There's a [D]hundred more
[G]like [C]you[G].[C]

[Verse 4]
Now for [G]two weeks more
she was [C]at my door,
She would [G]stay with me [C]for days,
As [G]a lover she was [C]frightening
in so [Am]many different [D]ways,
But when it [G]came to conversa
[C]tion she [G]was totally ab[C]surd,
Oh she'd [Am]sit for hours a[D]nd
never say a word.
[G]

[Verse 5]
Oh poor [Em]lady, midnight [G]baby,
No one [Bm]wants your love at [D]all,
Oh poor [Em]lady, midnight [G]baby,
Now you're [Bm]heading for [D]a fall,
And you [C]really think your're something,
you know [G]all the things to [D]do
But poor [Em]lady, just a [C]baby,
There's a hun[D]dred more like

[Interlude 1]
you.
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 6]
She [G]spends her days in dif[C]ferent ways,
still [G]trying to be [C]hip,
And at [G]night she'll find she'll [C]lose her mind,
at [Am]a club along [D]the strip,
When [G]her money goes she al[C]ways knows
she got [G]something she can [C]sell,
It's the [Am]one thing that
she [D]really can do [G]well.

[Verse 7]
Oh poor [Em]lady, midnight [G]baby,
No one [Bm]wants your love at [D]all,
Oh poor [Em]lady, midnight [G]baby,
Now you're [Bm]heading for [D]a fall,
And you [C]really think your're something,
you know [G]all the things to [D]do
But poor [Em]lady, just a [C]baby,
There's a [D]hundred more like
[G]you[C].

[Outro 1]
