Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Joni plays this on her guitar in C#F#C#F#A#Ctuning.
This way is not fit to the recording exactly but is
in the key of F#. I play this version with a capo on
the first fret since none of the chords calls for an
open string. Enjoy!
F# B
When I first saw your gallery
Abm F# B
I liked the ones of ladies
F# B
Then you began to hang up me
Abm F# B
You studied to portray me
F#
In ice and greens
Bbm
And old blue jeans
Ebm C#
And naked in the roses
F# B
Then you got into funny scenes
Abm F#
That all your work discloses
Abm Ebm B
Lady don't love me now I am dead
F# Ebm F#
I am a saint turn down your bed
Abm B
I have no heart that's what you said
F#
You said I can be cruel
B F#
But let me be gentle with you
F# B
Somewhere in a magazine
Abm F# B
I found a page about you
F# B
I see that now it's Josephine
Abm F# B
Who cannot be without you
F# Bbm
I keep your house in fit repair
Ebm C#
I dust the portraits daily
F# B
Your mail comes here from everywhere
Abm F#
The writing looks like ladies'
Abm Ebm B
Lady please love me now I am dead
F# Ebm F#
I am a saint turn down your bed
Abm B
I have no heart that's what you said
F#
You said I can be cruel
B F#
But let me be gentle with you
F# B
I gave you all my pretty years
Abm F# B
Then we began to weather
F# B
And I was left to winter here
Abm F# B
While you went west for pleasure
F# Bbm
And now you're flying back this way
Ebm C#
Like some lost homing pigeon
F# B
They've monitored your brain you say
Abm F#
And changed you with religion
Abm Ebm B
Lady please love me now I was dead
F# Ebm F#
I am no saint turn down your bed
Abm B
Lady have you no heart that's what you said
F#
Well I can be cruel
B F#
But let me be gentle with you
F# B
When I first saw your gallery
Abm F# B
I liked the ones of ladies
F# B
But now their faces follow me
Abm F# B F#
And all their eyes look shady
