Lady In the Harbor

written by Allison/Curtis/Gilmore

taken from the Buddha re-issure of "This Time"

tabbed 8/17/05

G A D

Hmmm mmmm mmmmm mmmm

D G D

The snow got much too deep for me in Denver

G A D

The rain fell way too hard out in L.A.

G A D

I couldn't stand the sandstorms in West Texas

G A7

That's all it took for me to be on my way

D G D

Then a friend told me about the peaches down in Georgia

G A D

He said the weather's fine, boy the livin' sure fits your style

G A D

Well that's why I'm on this work gang in the hot sun

G A7 D

With a redneck judge gettin' ready for an unfair trial

CHORUS:

G A D

But there's a lady on my mind in New York City

G A D

All along she's burned a torch for me

G A D

She stands proud and tall in New York Harbor

G A D

And in time I know she'll see that I go free

G A D

Hmmm mmm mmm mmmm

(key change to E)

E A E

The man told me I'd better change my way of livin'

A B E

He said now we got laws just made for the likes of you

A B E

We ain't got time for your kind here in this town

A B7

He just wouldn't believe I was only passin' thru

E A E

Now let me be the first to say there's gotta be some changes

A B E

And he may be right, some changes oughta be in me

A B E

But the same damn law that put me on this work gang

A B7 E

Give you and me the right to disagree

CHORUS:

A B7 E

There's a lady on my mind in New York City

A B7 E

All along she's burned a torch for me

A B7 E

She stands proud and tall in New York Harbor

A B7 E

And in time I know she'll see that I go free

A B7 E

Hmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm (4x)

Don't like the B chord? There're 2 things you can do.

First, play all the B chords as B7 (takes out some of the "punch" when you come to a

B7, but it's easier).

Second, play the song with a capo on II, and use the following chords:

D = C

G = F

A = G

A7 = G7

E = D

B = A

B7 = A7
