[Verse 1]
E F# B
When I first saw your gallery
F# G#m F#
I liked the ones of ladies
E F# B
Then you began to hang up me
F# G#m F#
You studied to portray me
F# F#maj7
In ice and greens
G# G#add4
And old blue jeans
F# G#m
And naked in the roses
F# E F# B
Then you got into funny scenes
F# G#m F#
That all your work discloses
[Chorus]
G#m F# B
"Lady, don't love me now I am dead
F#
I am a saint, turn down your bed
G#m F# B
I have no heart," that's what you said
F# G#m
You said, "I can be cruel
F#
But let me be gentle with you"
[Verse 2]
E F# B
Somewhere in a magazine
F# G#m F#
I found a page about you
E F# B
I see that now it's Josephine
F# G#m F#
Who cannot be without you
F# F#maj7 G# G#add4
I keep your house in fit repair
F# G#m
I dust the portraits daily
F# E F# B
Your mail comes here from everywhere
F# G#m F#
The writing looks like ladies'
[Chorus]
G#m F# B
"Lady, please love me now I am dead
F#
I am a saint, turn down your bed
G#m F# B
I have no heart," that's what you said
F# G#m
You said, "I can be cruel
F#
But let me be gentle with you"
[Verse 3]
E F# B
I gave you all my pretty years
F# G#m F#
Then we began to weather
E F# B
And I was left to winter here
F# G#m F#
While you went west for pleasure
F# F#maj7 G# G#add4
And now you're flying back this way
F# G#m
Like some lost homing pigeon
F# E F# B
They've monitored your brain, you say
F# G#m F#
And changed you with religion
[Chorus]
G#m F# B
"Lady, please love me now I was dead
F#
I am no saint, turn down your bed
G#m F# B
Lady, have you no heart" that's what you said
F# G#m
Well, I can be cruel
F#
But let me be gentle with you"
[Outro]
E F# B
When I first saw your gallery
F# G#m F#
I liked the ones of ladies
E F# B
But now their faces follow me
F# G#m F#
And all their eyes look shady
G#m F# B
La la la dum dee dee dee dee
