Our Lady Lowness

|G / / / |Eb9 / D9 / |

        G
In the city, in the plain
           E
Replete in every place of strain
              C            Eb
Are all the places I have lain
      D7   G       Eb9
With Lady Lowness

      D9      G
It's not for need of board and bed
           E
Or wanting of a crust of bread
               C            Eb
That brings a gentleman to bed
           D7
With Lady Lowness

C                         Eb
Though need may serve to weaken one
G                  E
The true seduction is begun
C                      Eb        D7
Inside the mind where deals are done
           G       G7
With Lady Lowness

C                    Eb
    Our Lady was methodical
G                           E
    Her teaching soon took hold
C                           Eb             D
    I learned to blame the cold for being cold
         Eb              D
    The poor for being prodigal
        Eb            D    D7
    The old for being old

|D9 / D9+ / | G / / / | E / / / | C / Eb D |
| G Eb D9 / | G / / / | E / / / | C / Eb D | G / G7 / |

C                   Eb
    Our Lady was meticulous
G                       E
    With each satanic trick
    C                      Eb              D
    I learned to spot the lame among the quick
          Eb              D
    The plain were the ridiculous
         Eb              D    D7   D9   D9+
    The simple were the sick

              G
Yeah, in the city, in the plain
           E
Replete in every place of strain
              C            Eb
Are all the places I have lain
      D    G       Eb9
With Lady Lowness

      D9      G
It's not for need of board and bed
           E
Or wanting of a crust of bread
               C            Eb
That brings a gentleman to bed
           D        C
With Lady Lowness

                    Eb             G
A pleasure for the mind all right
                        E
But still you couldn't call her bright
C                         Eb     D
Her pampered brilliance shed no light
C                Eb          D
She was herself part of the night
          G        Eb9   D9  (rpt to fade)
