Lady

By Little River Band

Tabbed by Nick C.

I didn't see a tab of this that I liked, so here's my version.  
This is my first time tabbing something this large, but any feedback is good feedback.  
I tried to get the timing of the lyrics as close as possible, 
but sometimes it wasn't possible, 
so listen to the song for all the right timings.

Standard Tuning

[Intro]

Acoustic guitar starts with this:

B|-3-2-3-2---0--------3-2-3-/7-5-2-3---
G|-4-2-4-2-2-0--------4-2-4-/7-6-2-4-2-
D|---------2-------------------------4-

Guitar then strums a D and the piano plays:

e|-10-9p7-5-

   feel for the winter, but dont have a cold heart.


[Refrain]

This guitar is a clean electric with heavy reverb.

e|-----0---
B|-------3-    --> x15
G|---1-----   
D|-2-------
A|---------
E|---------

And I love you best.  You're not like the rest.
You're there when I need you you're there when I need
I'm gonna need you.


[Verse 2]

Electric guitar fingerpicks what the acoustic guitar did in verse 1.  
It's hard to hear what it does on the D and E chords, 
but I just improvise a fingerpicking pattern.  Acoustic guitar strums the chords.


  A (x02220@1)      A/G (302220@1) A/F# (202220@1)A/G (302220@1)    A (x02220@1)   A/G (302220@1)  A/F# (202220@1)  A/GA (302220@1)long time ago I had a lady to love
D (xx0232@1)                                      A (x02220@1) A/G (302220@1)A/F# (202220@1)A/G (302220@1)She made me think of things I never thought of
E (022100@1)                 D (xx0232@1)Now she's gone and I'm on my own
  A (x02220@1)  A/G (302220@1)   A/F# (202220@1)       A/GA (302220@1)love song has come into my mind
  A (x02220@1)  A/G (302220@1)       A/F# (202220@1)        A/G (302220@1)   A (x02220@1) A/G (302220@1)A/F# (202220@1) A/EA (002220@1)love song, it was there all the time


[Chorus]

(All instruments just play the chords)


   D (xx0232@1)                             A (x02220@1)So lady, let me take a look at you now
       D (xx0232@1)                                              AYou're (x02220@1)there on the dance floor, making me want you somehow
   D (xx0232@1)                                   A (x02220@1)name="chord_302220@1">A/G A/F# (202220@1)A/E (002220@1)   
Oh lady, I think it's only fair I should say to you
E (022100@1)                            D (xx0232@1)                      A(to (x02220@1)solo)
Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you, 'cause maybe I do


[Solo]

Piano and acoustic guitar play Verse 2

Moderately distorted electric guitar plays:

e|-7b9--9-----7b9-9-9r7-5-------7b9--9-----------5-7b9-7-5-|

[Verse 3]

No guitar here, so you can do whatever you want, but these are the chords:

      A7 (x02020@1)  A7/G (302020@1)A7/F#  A7/GLook (302020@1)around,

        A7 (x02020@1)  A7/G (302020@1)A7/F#  A7/GI (302020@1)look around, 
        A7 (x02020@1) A7/G (302020@1)A7/F#  A7/Gplay (302020@1)a part

I was born in the winter and cooled by a warm heart




Then play the Refrain and Chorus one more time, but finish the chorus with this:

E (022100@1)                            D (xx0232@1)                    A (x02220@1) (to riff)
Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you cause maybe I do

(And sorry, but I didn't take time to learn the outro.  I usually just improvise it.)
