Silver lady (1977)    (video)

 

    F#m - D - C# (2x)

 

   F#m                                                                    E

1.     Tired of drifting, searching, shifting through town to town,

F#m                                                  E

    every time I slip and slide a little further down.

                Am                                             D

    I can't blame you if you won't take me back

            Am                                 D

    after everything I put you through,

                                         G                           C                    D    - D7

    but, honey, you're my last hope and who else can I turn to.

 

                G

Come on Silver Lady, take my word,

                             Bm

I won't run out on you again, believe me.

                            C                                  Em                  D    - D7

Oh, I've seen the light, it's just one more fight, without you.

                      G

Here I am a million miles from home,

                   Bm

the Indiana wind and rain cut through me,

                      C                             F                 G

I'm lost and alone, chilled to the bone, Silver Lady !

 

+  E

 

   F#m                                                            E

2.       Double talkers, backstreet walkers at every turn,

F#m                                                           E

    seedy motels and no star hotels still I had to learn.

                   Am                                   D

    That the one shining thing in my mind

                     Am                            D

    was the sweet love I had with you,

                                         G                            C                     D    - D7

    and, honey, you're my last hope, and who else can I turn to.

 

+  CHORUS

 

+  Gm - D# - D                 +  G - Bm

 

 

 

 

 

 

   C                          Em                D               - D7

+     Can't you find it in you to forgive me ?

                                     G

    ’Cause here I am a million miles from home,

                      Bm

    the Indiana wind and rain cut through me,

                          C                             F                 G        - D

    I'm lost and alone, chilled to the bone, Silver Lady !

 

                G

Come on Silver Lady, take my word,

                             Bm

I won't run out on you again, believe me.

                            C                                  Em                  D    - D7

Oh, I've seen the light, it's just one more fight, without you.

                      G

Here I am a million miles from home ...
