Two Gallants - Lady

^A Once when I was dai^Ely growing ^A Dressed in red from h^Eead to toe ^B You were all the tho^Aughts I’s knowin^E’

^A The sun did shine, no ca^Bre the season ^A While I learned my 1-2^E-3’s and ^B You fell in to tea^Ach me treason ^B

^ANow I spend my e^Bach day busy, jump^Eing on the mon^Akey show ^EJumping on the mo^Ankey show ^BSearching for a f^Aace I know ^B

^AAnd I just walk for h^Bours down the r^Eed brick march of ^AMarket Street ^EOf Mar^Aket Street ^BAnd spend my each days ^Ain repeat

^ELady she’s alrigh^Bt with me ^F#done borrowed all my emp^Aathy ^Eand you know she got the be^Bst of me ^F#'cause she's not lyin' ne^Axt to me.

^AAnd all things fine, ^Esweet day beginning ^AI got up and ^Efell right in and ^BClimbed up to where ^Ayou was living ^E

^AAnd you stood in the ^Ebackdoor yawning ^AIn that cruel ^Eway that leads me on and ^BYou're the reason I ^Awake each morning ^E

^AAnd sunshine plays the ^Bpuddles through the ^Emornings ^AEvenings afternoons ^EEvenings ^Aafternoons ^BI count my thoughts with c^Aoffee-spoons ^E

^AAnd something reeks of ^Bheaven 'neath the ^Ehighway ^AWhere the hobos sleep ^EWhere the h^Aobos sleep ^BAnd laugh about the ^Apains I keep ^E

^EAnd lady, she's a ^Bfriend of mine ^F#'Cause I know how to take my ^Atime ^EBut I can't say that ^Bwithout lyin' ^F#So I'll try not to ^Atry next time

^BAnd I ain’t got no one to bear ^Emy burden ^BThough I could pay with sips of w^Eine ^G#mOld men like me just tuck their sh^Airts in ^EToo busy ru^Bnning out, though we ^E Do our best to ^Bdo without still ^E Too busy ru^Bnning out of ti^Ame

^EWell lady I can't take ^Bno rest ^F#With all this weight across my ^Achest ^EAnd yesterday I ^Bloved the best ^F#Dun' borrowed too much ^Ahappiness
