And I [C]sewed a party [G]dress
In an[D]d out and in an[G]d out

In [C]my head the thought [G]of him
In an[D]d out, in [G]and out and in

In an[D]d out, in and [G]out and in

[Verse 5]
Now that he's [D]gone [G]away
There isn't anyone to say if I'm a lady

[Verse 6]
[G]
Didn't I [F]gleam in my father's [G]eye?
Who am I, who am I?
Didn't I [D]split my mother's [G]side?
Who am I, who am I?
Didn't I [Bb]drink her nipple [F]dry?
Who am I?
And no one [D]taught me how to [F]cry
Who am I?
How to cry for what I [D]wanted
in the [G]night
Who am [F]I, who am I?
And didn't I [Bb]cry and c[F]ry?
Who am [F]I, who am I?
