D        D/E              D/F#       D/E           D      
Dawn was three hours from shining on her face that morning
    D              D/E    D/F#       D/E            D        
And she touched me softly and then I heard her say, honey
      G                         D
We're young and we're foolish I know
    G                               D
And though these hard times we must go
        D            D/E          D/F#    D/E
But you see yourself fallin' when lady is clouding
     D       D/E            D/F#    D/E           D
When lady is clouding, when lady is clouding your vision

      
And what do you do when your woman says she is leaving
You cry in the night but she don't understand what you're feelin'
Then she pulls off a thin golden ring
And packs all her soft pretty things
And it's hard to see clearly when lady is clouding
When lady is clouding, when lady is clouding your vision

 
And who needs a friend when your heart is the one that is breakin'
You wake up one mornin' and feel like your world was just taken
But my friends tell me that it will end
And a new love I'll soon begin
And it's hard to see clearly when lady is clouding
When lady is clouding, when lady is clouding your vision
