Lady Day

• Am

 
Introd: Am Am7+ Dm G7 C7M  Am E7/9- 

    Am      Fdim      G       G9 
Her day was born in shades of blue,  
    C7M              Am 
Her song was sad the words were true; 
    D9       Dm       G        G9 
Her morning came too fast too soon,  
    C7M             Am 
And died before the afternoon 
     G   Cdim Dm  Gdim  G7   G   C7M        Am 
Poor lady  day could use some love, some sunshine,  
Dm  Dm7+ Dm7  G  Fdim  C7M 
Lady day has too much rain 
     G   Cdim Dm  Gdim  G7   G    C7M         Am 
Poor lady  day could use some spring, some breezes,  
Dm  Dm7+ Dm7  G  Fdim  C7M 
Lady day has too much pain. 
     Am     Am7+    Dm  G7                    C7M   Am 
It's such a lonely face,   it's such a cloudy sky,  
Dm       G     Fdim G7  Am   Am7+ 
So many shadows in  her eye. 
   Am   Am7+    Dm   G7                 C7M   Am 
So many empty dreams,   so many bitter times,  
        Dm       Fdim      Am 
Just a handful of broken rhymes. 
     G   Cdim Dm  Gdim  G7  G   C7M        Am 
Poor lady  day could use a smile, some kindness,  
Dm  Dm7+ Dm7  G  Fdim  C7M 
Lady day has too much rain. 
     G   Cdim Dm  Gdim  G7  G   C7M           Am 
Poor lady day could use some dreams, some flowers;  
Dm  Dm7+ Dm7  G  Fdim  C7M 
Lady day has too much pain. 
Am      Am7+    Dm  G7                  C7M   Am 
Just too much to say,   just to much to know,  
     Dm     G  Fdim G7       Am   Am7+ 
Too little time to  say, “Hello.” 
     Am       Am7+    Dm   G7                     C7M   Am 
And then the evening comes,   and now she doesn't cry,  
    Am7+      Dm    Fdim        Am 
And it's too late to say, “Goodbye.”
