G5 C5 C5 C5
She's a la-dy
C5 F5
And I chanced to meet her
G5 C5
In my scufflin days
C5 C5 C5
She's a la-dy
F5 G5
Hypnotized me there that day
A5 C5 F5
I came to play in my usual way, hey
D5 D5 D5
Floating along with a whimsical twinkling
G5 G/f# E5 A5
In her strange green eyes
D5 D5 D5
Linger with me. She said, 'Yes! '
G5 G/f# E5 A7add4 A5 G5
And, oh, the time did fly.
G5 C5 C5 C5
She's a la-dy
C5 F5
Give her time for she's
G5 C5
Allowed to change her mind
C5 C5 C5
She's a la-dy
F5 G5
Happy to say she once was mine.
A5 C5 F5
Only some-times I remember old times
D5 D5 D5
And when she says, 'Can you guess, it's a dress
G/f# E5 A5 D5
You won't believe.
D5 D5
Would you come zip me up
G5 G/f# E5
And button up my sleeve'.
A5 A5 D5 D5
Oh, lady, lady of la-dies.
G5 G/f# E5
I remember days that felt like
A7add4 A5 D5
It was raining daisies.
