Lady Day

    Am      Fdim      G       G9
Her day was born in shades of blue, 

    CM7              Am
Her song was sad the words were true;

    D9       Dm       G        G9
Her morning came too fast too soon, 

    CM7             Am
And died before the afternoon

     G   Cdim Dm  Gdim  G7   G   CM7        Am
Poor la - dy  day could use some love, some sunshine, 

Dm  Dm+7 Dm7  G  Fdim  CM7
Lady day has too much rain

     G   Cdim Dm  Gdim  G7   G    CM7         Am
Poor la - dy  day could use some spring, some breezes, 

Dm  Dm+7 Dm7  G  Fdim  CM7
Lady day has too much pain.

     Am     Am+7    Dm  G7                    CM7   Am
It's such a lonely face,   it's such a cloudy sky, 

Dm       G     Fdim G7  Am   Am+7
So many shadows in  her eye.

   Am   Am+7    Dm   G7                 CM7   Am
So many empty dreams,   so many bitter times, 

        Dm       Fdim      Am
Just a handful of broken rhymes.


     G   Cdim Dm  Gdim  G7  G   CM7        Am
Poor la - dy  day could use a smile, some kindness, 

Dm  Dm+7 Dm7  G  Fdim  CM7
Lady day has too much rain.

     G   Cdim Dm  Gdim  G7  G   CM7           Am
Poor la - dy day could use some dreams, some flowers; 

Dm  Dm+7 Dm7  G  Fdim  CM7
Lady day has too much pain.

 Am      Am+7    Dm  G7                  CM7   Am
Just too much to say,   just to much to know, 

     Dm     G  Fdim G7       Am   Am+7
Too little time to  say, “Hello.”

     Am       Am+7    Dm   G7                     CM7   Am
And then the evening comes,   and now she doesn't cry, 

    Am+7      Dm    Fdim        Am
And it's too late to say, “Good-bye.”
