Lady in the Harbor Lyrics
taken from the Buddha re-issure of "This Time"
Hmmmmmm
The snow got much too deep for me in Denver
The rain fell way too hard out in L.A.
I couldn't stand the sandstorms in West Texas
That's all it took for me to be on my way
Then a friend told me about the peaches down in Georgia
He said the weather's fine, boy the livin' sure fits your style
Well that's why I'm on this work gang in the hot sun
With a redneck judge gettin' ready for an unfair trial
CHORUS:
But there's a lady on my mind in New York City
All along she's burned a torch for me
She stands proud and tall in New York Harbor
And in time I know she'll see that I go free
Hmmmmmm
(key change to E)
The man told me I'd better change my way of livin'
He said now we got laws just made for the likes of you
We ain't got time for your kind here in this town
He just wouldn't believe I was only passin' thru
Now let me be the first to say there's gotta be some changes
And he may be right, some changes oughta be in me
But the same damn law that put me on this work gang
Give you and me the right to disagree
CHORUS:
There's a lady on my mind in New York City
All along she's burned a torch for me
She stands proud and tall in New York Harbor
And in time I know she'll see that I go free
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
