The Mad Lady & Me Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Among the walls and ruins,
Of the [C]horrid civic stone,
I [B]walked [Em]without a lover[B],[Bsus4]
[B]For my [Em]older bones.

[Verse 2]
[Em]The sun was strong and going down,
It [C]was a dreamlike day,
It's [B]there I met the trin[Bsus4]ity,
It's [C]there [B]I heard them say.
[Em]And she said

[Verse 3]
[G]bye bye [D]Mama,
[C]Goodbye brother [Em]John,
[G]Fare thee well ye Shan[D]don bells,
Ring [D#dim]on, ring on.[Em]

[Verse 4]
She leaned [Em]and leaned much closer,
And she [C]hugged them all goodbye,
Her [B]mother said "Don't go my love",
We [C]all must [B]by and [Em]by,
A drunken tongue said
"leave her off",
She'll [C]drive us all crazy,
She [B]turned around and saw my face,
And [C]both of [B]us was [Em]she.
And she said [G]bye

[Verse 5]
bye [D]Mama,
[C]Goodbye brother [Em]John,
[G]Fare thee well ye [D]Shandon bells,
[C]Ring on, ring [Em]on.

[Verse 6]
Up [Em]on to the limestone wall,
And [C]down the level steps,
[B]She threw herself into the stream,
With [C]a splash and [B]no regrets,
[Em]Sidestroke swimming midstream,
Throwing [C]kisses to the crowd,
And [B]everything was silent,
And [C]the sky had [B]not one [Em]cloud.

[Verse 7]
And she said [G]bye bye [D]Mama,
[C]Goodbye brother [Em]John,
[G]Fare thee well ye [D]Shandon bells,
Ring [D#dim]on, ring on.[Em]
We were [G]swimming

[Verse 8]
out in the sun[D]set,
We were [C]swimming out to sea,
[Em]
Swimming [G]down by the [D]opera house,
[C]The [B]Mad Lady and [Em]Me.

[Outro 1]
