Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands
Written by Bob Dylan
Performed by Richie Havens
From the Mixed Bags II Album (1974)
[Intro]
C6 C Em F G
[Verse]
C Em F Dm G
With your mercury mouth in the missionary times,
C Em F Dm G
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes,
F Em Dm Dm/G C
And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes,
Em F Dm G
and who among them could they really think could bury you?
C Em F Dm G
With your pockets well protected at last,
C Em F Dm G
And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass,
F Em Dm Dm/G C
And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass,
Em F Dm G
and who among them would try to carry you?
Dm C G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Dm C G
Where sad-eyed prophets say that no man comes,
[Verse]
C Em F Dm G
With your sheets like leather and your belt like lace,
C Em F Dm G
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace,
F Em Dm Dm/G C
And your basement clothes and your hollow face,
Em F Dm G
Who among them would really try to outguess you?
C Em F Dm G
With your silhouette when the sunlight dims
C Em F Dm G
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims,
F Em Dm Dm/G C
And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns,
Em F Dm G
Who among them would try to impress you?
Dm C G
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Dm C G
Where sad-eyed prophets say that no man comes,
