C G F G7 2

x C G F G7
with your mercury mouth in the missionary times ,
C G F G
and your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes ,
F C Dm G7 C
and your silver cross , and your voice like chimes ,
C Dm G7 G
oh , who do they think could bury you?

C G F G7
with your pockets well protected at last ,
C G F G
and your streetcar visions which you place on the grass ,
F C Dm G7 C
and your flesh like silk , and your face like glass ,
C Dm G7 G
who could they get to carry you?

Dm C G
sad – eyed lady of the lowlands ,
Dm C G7 G
where the sad – eyed prophet says that no man comes ,
C G F C F C G
my warehouse eyes , my arabian drums ,
Dm G7 G
should i put them by your gate ,
Dm C G
or , sad – eyed lady , should i wait?

C G F G7
with your sheets like metal and your belt like lace ,
C G F G
and your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace ,
F C Dm G7 C
and your basement clothes and your hollow face ,
C Dm G7 G
who among them can think he could outguess you?

C G F G7
with your silhouette when the sunlight dims
C G F G
into your eyes where the moonlight swims ,
F C Dm G7 C
and your match – book songs and your gypsy hymns ,
C Dm G7 G
who among them would try to impress you?

Dm C G
sad – eyed lady of the lowlands ,
Dm C G7 G
where the sad – eyed prophet says that no man comes ,

C G F C F C G7
my warehouse eyes , my arabian drums ,
Dm G7 G
should i put them by your gate ,
Dm C G
or , sad – eyed lady , should i wait?

C G F G7
the kings of tyrus with their convict list
C G F G
are waiting in line for their geranium kiss ,
F C Dm G7 C
and you wouldn’t know it would happen like this ,
C Dm G7 G
but who among them really wants just to kiss you?

C G F G7
with your childhood flames on your midnight rug ,
C G F G
and your spanish manners and your mother’s drugs ,
F C Dm G7 C
and your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs ,
C Dm G7 G
who among them do you think could resist you?

Dm C G
sad – eyed lady of the lowlands ,
Dm C G7 G
where the sad – eyed prophet says that no man comes ,
C G F C F C G7
my warehouse eyes , my arabian drums ,
Dm G7 G
should i put them by your gate ,
Dm C G
or , sad – eyed lady , should i wait?

oh , the farmers and the businessmen , they all did decide
to show you the dead angels that they used to hide .
but why did they pick you to sympathize with their side?
oh , how could they ever mistake you?

they wished you’d accepted the blame for the farm ,
but with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm ,
and with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms ,
how could they ever , ever persuade you?

Dm C G
sad – eyed lady of the lowlands ,
Dm C G7 G
where the sad – eyed prophet says that no man comes ,
C G F C F C G7
my warehouse eyes , my arabian drums ,
Dm G7 G
should i put them by your gate ,
Dm C G
or , sad – eyed lady , should i wait?

with your sheet – metal memory of cannery row ,
and your magazine – husband who one day just had to go ,
and your gentleness now , which you just can’t help but show ,
who among them do you think would employ you?

now you stand with your thief , you’re on his parole
with your holy medallion which your fingertips fold ,
and your saint like face and your ghostlike soul ,
oh , who among them do you think could destroy you

Dm C G
sad – eyed lady of the lowlands ,
Dm C G7 G
where the sad – eyed prophet says that no man comes ,
C G F C F C G7
my warehouse eyes , my arabian drums ,
Dm G7 G
should i put them by your gate ,
Dm C G
or , sad – eyed lady , should i wait?
