G7 C C/B C/A
She's a la-dy
C/G F
And I chanced to meet her
G7 C
In my scufflin days
C/B C/A C/G
She's a la-dy
F G7
Hypnotized me there that day
Am C/G F
I came to play in my usual way, hey
D D7M D7
Floating along with a whimsical twinkling
G G/f# Em7 A7
In her strange green eyes
D D7M D7
Linger with me. She said, 'Yes! '
G G/f# Em7 A7add4 A7 G74
And, oh, the time did fly.
G7 C C/B C/A
She's a la-dy
C/G F
Give her time for she's
G7 C
Allowed to change her mind
C/B C/A C/G
She's a la-dy
F G7
Happy to say she once was mine.
Am C/G F
Only some-times I remember old times
D D7M D7
And when she says, 'Can you guess, it's a dress
G/f# Em7 A7 D
You won't believe.
D7M D7
Would you come zip me up
G G/f# Em7
And button up my sleeve'.
A74 A7 D4 D
Oh, lady, lady of la-dies.
G G/f# Em7
I remember days that felt like
A7add4 A7 D
It was raining daisies.
