The Lady

[Verse 1]
    G    G/F     Em          
The lady gave me flowers and I 
C   G
refused them
    C       G/B      Am    C    
For flowers will not grow among 
    D
the weeds
        G      G/F     Em       C
And the kindnesses she offered, I 
  G
abused them
   C          G/B    Am      C  
My wants were always greater 
     D
than my needs

[Chorus]
        Bm           C     Em     
And she tried so very hard, but I 
G      Bm     Em
didn't hear a word

          F            Am         
For I was far away and couldn't 
       D
hear her cry

[Verse 2]
   G    G/F      Em       
My lady took her troubles and 
C     G
deserted
   C      G/B        Am     C   
To take a stranger's arm to lean
     D
 and cry
    G     G/F   Em     C      G
And suddenly my senses were reverted
    C      G/B     Am       C   
But slowly all her feelings 
      D
passed me by

[Chorus]
        Bm           C    Em  G 
And she tried so very hard to 
       Bm       Em
choose a friendly word
          F              Am       
But I was closer now and tried to 
     D
hear her cry

[Verse 3]
             G        G/F   Em   
And when she comes to me in 
     C        G
dreams, I find I'm turning
   C         G/B    Am     C     
To face her, when before I turned 
  D
away
     G        G/F      Em      C
When before I wouldn't listen, 
       G
now I'm learning
   C        G/B    Am        C  
To hear the gentle words she had
    D
 to say

[Chorus]
          Bm          C   Em  G  
And now I try so very hard to 
  Bm        Em
hear her every word
    F              Am             
But all the time I seem to hear 
  D
her cry
