Tea Lady by John Lion
Tea Lady
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
D F#m G D
There is a girl I see every day
D A7 D
She works in the café
D A F# Bm
At the corner down the street
G A D
Where I go after my shift
D F#m G D
I spend my lunch break there each day
D A7 D
And without any word to say
D A F# Bm
She brings me a cup of sugary tea
G A D
And gently smiles at me
[Chorus 1]
G A D
I know her well
G A Bm
And she knows me well
G A D Bm
I see her often after work
G A D
For she is my best friend's lover
[Verse 2]
D F#m G D
From the window I sit by at my workplace
D A D
I can see easily her face
D A F# Bm
All the ladies that work there have long fair hair
G A D
But she's the reason why I wouldn't go elsewhere
D F#m G D
If I ever fancy a sweet pastry
D A D
She gives me one for free
D A F# Bm
She'd never charge me when I ask for the bill
G A D
She'll use her next tip to pay off the till
[Chorus 2]
G A D
I'll never tell her
G A Bm
I think that I fell
G A D Bm
In love with her, I lock my heart instead
G A D
For she is my best friend's girlfriend
[Verse 3]
D F#m G D
I've bought a cup and a tin can of tea
D A D
From now on I stay in
D A F# Bm
It will be easier I think for me
G A D
To change my loving feeling
D F#m G D
Eventually she ran into me
D A D
And sadly she asked me
D A F# Bm
Is there any reason why you don't come to drink
G A D
Anymore a cup of tea with milk?
G G7 G6 G7 G
And I replied
D F#m G D
There's a backlog of work I got to catch up on
D A D
So I'm quite busy these days
D A F# Bm
But I'll soon come eating a slice of apple pie someday
G A D
Sprinkled with cinnamon
[Chorus 3]
G A D
But I didn't believe
G A Bm
In what I just said
G A D Bm
But I'm relieved if she did
G A D
I don't want to cause her any pain
G A D
Oh life did send
G A Bm
A trial to prove I'm a good friend
G A D Bm
But I'm sure I won't fail this test
G A D
I like her but I love him the best
