The Shadow Of A Lady Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]She was standing on the corner
with [A]a suitcase in her hand
She held her head up high
as she [D]turned from a man
Tears [G]fell from her eyes
but they [D]couldn't hide the [G]shame
[D]Sir, I think you [G]know me
but [A]just let me ex[D]plain
I [A]took my life down from the door, sir
I don't work here anymore, sir
You're [G]standing in the shadow of [D]a lady
From the [A]life that I've been living
Now freedom I've been given
And you're [G]standing in
the shadow of a [A]lady
So don't [D]say the things you [G]think are [D]true
That with someone else [G]you [D]knew
Don't you know you
[G]could be held for [A]libel?
Tell me, do you know
where I might find [D]a Bible?
As he fumbled in his pocket
to re[A]turn the money there
And he shook his head in wonder
and ran his [D]fingers through his hair
And he [G]wondered what had happened
to his [D]red light [G]pearl
Must have [D]been another wo[G]man,
must have [D]been an[A]other world
[D]I took my lif[A]e down from the door, sir
I don't work here anymore, sir
You're [G]standing in the shadow of [D]a lady
From the [A]life that I've been living
Now freedom I've been given
And you're [G]standing in
the shadow of [A]a lady
So [D]say the things you [G]think are [D]true
That with [G]someone else you [D]do
Don't you know you [G]could be
held for [A]li bel?
Tell me, sir, do you know
Where I might find [D]the Bible?
