Version 1
            Lady Midnight

Booklet Greatest Hits:

"This was finished in the Henry Hudson Hotel on 58th Street in New York.
Yafa was doing tricks with her silver bangles. I owe her the last verse.
It was recorded in Nashville. The voice is uncertain. In those days it
took me fifteen minutes to decide whether or not I should wear my cap
when I went outside and a half hour whether or not I should take it off
when I came back."

  G                G7        F                  C
I came by my-self to a very crowded place;
 G                      G7                      F                 C
 I was looking for someone who had lines in her face.
                          C7                F               F
I found her there   but she was past all con-cern;
   C               F       Em Dm                   Dm
I asked her to hold me,     said, "Lady, un-fold me,"
    Em7 C                            F
but she scorned me and she told me
         G     G7                           C
I was dead  and I could never re-turn.

Well, I argued all night like so many have before,
saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more."
Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor,
she said, "Don't try to use me or slyly refuse me,
just win me or lose me,
it is this that the darkness is for."

I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old,
the stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold."
"If we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored."
So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning,
I could hear my lady calling,

 F          G                    G7              C
"You've won me, you've won me, my lord,
             G                    G7              C
  you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
 C               G                    G7         C
  yes, you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
 C              G                    G7          C
  ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
 C              G                    G7         C
  ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord."
