the lady with the braid chords and lyrics - DORY PREVIN

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G](Played before vocals start)

[Verse 2]
Would you [G]care to stay till sunrise
It's [C]completely your de[G]cision
It's just that going home is such
a [D]ride (such a ride)
Going home is such a ride
Going home is such a ride
Going home is such a low
and lonely [G]ride
Would you hang your denim jacket
Near [C]the poster by Pi[G]casso
Do you sleep on the left side or the right
[D](or the right)
Would you mind if I leave
on [G]the light
Would you [D]mind if it isn't too [G]bright
Now I need the window open
So if [C]you happen to get [G]chilly
There's this coverlet my cousin hand-
cro[D]cheted (hand- crocheted)
Do you mind if the edges are [G]frayed
Would you [D]like to unfasten my braid
[G]

[Verse 3]
Shall I [Em]make you in the morning
[B]A cup of homemade coffee
I will sweeten it with honey
and with [Em]cream
When you [A]sleep
Do you have [Em]dreams?
You can read the early paper
And I can [B]watch you while you shave
Oh god the mirror's cracked
When you [A]leave
Will you [Em]come back?
You don't have to answer that at all
The bathroom [B]door is just
across the hall
You'll find an extra towel on the rack
On the [A]paisley- pat[Em]terned
papered wall
There's a com[B]b on the shelf
I papered that [Em]wall myself
That [D]wall myself

[Verse 4]
Would you [G]care to stay till sunrise
It's com[C]pletely your de[G]cision
It's just the night cuts through me like
[D]a knife (like a knife)
Would you care to stay awhile
and [G]save my life?
Would you [D]care to stay
awhile and save my life?
[G]

[Verse 5]
I don't [Em]know what made me say that
I've got this [B]funny sense of humor
You know I could not be downhearted
if [Em]I tried (i[D]f I tried)
It's just that going home is such a [G]ride
Going [C]home is such a ride
Going [G]home is such a ride
[D]Isn't going home a low and lonely [G]ride?
[D]Isn't going home a low and lonely [G]ride?
[D]Isn't going home a low and lonely ride?

[Verse 6]
[G](On the last "ri[C]de"[G]
a little riff plays, roughly in this timing for chords)
