[C][Em][F][G]
[C][Em][F][G]

[Verse 1]
With [C]your mercury
[Em]mouth in [F]the missionary [Dm]times,[G]
And [C]your eyes [Em]like smoke and
[F]your prayers [Dm]like rhymes,
[G]And your silver[F] cro[Em]ss,
and [Dm]your voice like [C]chimes,
and [Em]who among them could they
[F]really think could [Dm]bury [G]you?
With your [C]pocket[Em]s well
pro[F]tected at [Dm]last,[G]
And your [C]streetcar [Em]visions which
you [F]place on [Dm]the g[G]rass,
And your [F]flesh [Em]like silk,
and [Dm]your face like [C]glass,
and [Em]who among them would t[F]ry
[Dm]to carry you?
[G]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]
Sad- eyed lady of the lowland[C]s,
[Dm][G][Dm]
Where sad- eyed prophets
say that [C]no man comes,
[G]

[Verse 3]
With your [C]sheets [Em]like leather
and your [F]belt [Dm]like lace,
[G]And your dec[C]k of car[Em]ds missing
the [F]jack and [Dm]the ace,
[G]And you[F]r basement clo[Em]thes
and your [Dm]hollow [C]face,
[Em]Who among them would r[F]eally
[Dm]try to outguess you?[G]
With your [C]silhou[Em]ette when
the sun[F]light [Dm]dims[G]
[C]In to [Em]your eyes where
[F]the moonlight [Dm]swim[G]s,
And your [F]match- [Em]book songs
and [Dm]your gypsy [C]hymns,
[Em]Who among them w[F]ould try[Dm]
to impress [G]you?

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
Sad- eyed lady of the [C]lowlands,
[G]Where [Dm]sad- eyed prophets
say that [C]no man comes,
[G]

[Verse 5]
My [F]ware[Em]house [Dm]eye s[C] and
my [Dm]Arabian [G]drums,[Dm]
Shall I bring them to your [G]gate,[Em][Dm]
Or, sad- eyed lady, should I wait?
[C]

[Verse 6]
With your Kings of [Em]Tyrus and their
[F]con[Dm]vict [G]lists
They're [C]waiting [Em]in line for
their [F]gerani[Dm] um kiss[G],
And you [F]would not [Em]think it
would [Dm]happen like [C]this,
And [Em]who among them [F]really [Dm]wants
just to kiss you? [G]Kiss [C]you!
[Am]With your [C]child[Em]hood flames
and [F]your mid[Dm]night [G]rug,
And [C]your Spanish man[Em]ners and
[F]your [Dm]mother's drugs,
[G]And your cow[F]boy mou[Em]th
and [Dm]your curfew [C]plugs,
And who amon[Em]g them do yo[F]u think
[Dm]could resist you? Resist y[G]ou!

[Verse 7]
[Dm]Sad- eyed lady from [C]the lowland[G]s,
[Dm]
Where sad- eyed prophets
say that [C]no man [G]comes,

[Verse 8]
Oh, the [C]farmers and [Em]the businessmen,
they [F]all [Dm]did decid[G]e
[C]To show you the dead [Em]an gels
which they [F]all [Dm]used to hide.[G]
But [F]why did [Em]they pick you to
sym[Dm]pathize with their [C]side?
And [Em]how could they [F]ever, [Dm]ever,
ever mistake you? Mis[G]take you!
For they [C]wished you ac[Em]cepted
[F]the blame [Dm]for the [G]farmer,
With [C]the sea at [Em]your feet and
the [F]phony [Dm]false alar[G]m,
And [F]the child of a [Em]hoodlum
wrapped [Dm]up in your a[C]rms,
Oh how [Em]could they [F]ever, [Dm]ever,
ever persuade you? Per[G]suade [C]you!

[Verse 9]
[Dm]Sad- eyed lady of the [C]lowland,
[G][Dm]
Where sad- eyed prophets say
that [C]no man comes,
[G]

[Verse 10]
My [F]ware[Em]house [Dm]eyes,
[C]my Ara[Dm]bian dru[G]ms,[Dm]
Shall I leave them at [G]your [Dm]gate,
Or, sad- eyed lady, should I wait?
[C]

[Verse 11]
My [F]ware[Em]house [Dm]eyes,

Hey hey my [F]ware [Dm]my w[Em]arehouse[Dm] eyes,[C]
[Dm]my Arabian drums[G] (fade)
