FADING LADY
by Jerry Jeff Walker
(This version transcribed from McKendree Spring 3)
Start/CHORUS:
Dcount all your Gjewelry Gand your Dlace
Dcount all the Gshoes beBmneath your Abed
Dand while your Gcounting all those Gthings in your Dhead
Ctry and wrest the Gsorrow from your Dface
V1
Bmwhen you were Gyoung you courted
Bmall the pretty Eboys
Bmand laughed aGloud with ones they kAnew
Bmand soon you Gwalked and talked
and Bmthought just like them EtoAo
Bmand now you C#mwonder Dwhat's become of Eyou
[CHORUS]
V2
when you chose one to be your husband for your life
you weighed his good point by his gain
his promised security was fulfilled and you felt fine
now in your age those mellow years won't sustain
[CHORUS]
V3
now for imagination
where you seek out the one
who live a life of dreams they build
you have no gifts to share
you've nothing for no one
so just watch the colors fade as you start to wilt
[CHORUS]
