Tom: Am

Dm F G A


[Verse 1]
Dm                                   E
  When the shrill winds are screaming, and the evening is still
Am           C/G       E
Lady Samantha,  glides over the hills
     D                         G           C
In a long satin dress that she wears every day
F                Am      Dm               E
 Her home is the hillside, her bed is the grave


[Chorus]
A             C#m
Lady Samantha glides like a tiger
D                   A
Over the hills with no one beside her
A             E   D                  A
 No one comes near, they all live in fear
    E              G         D    A    E
But Lady Samantha, she sheds lonely tears
A             C#m
Lady Samantha glides like a tiger
D                   A
Over the hills with no one beside her
A             E   D                  A
 No one comes near, they all live in fear
    E              G         D    A
But Lady Samantha, she sheds lonely tears


[Instrumental]
Dm F G A


[Verse 2]
Dm                                E
  The tales that I told round the fire every night
    Am               C/G    E
Are out of proportion,  and none of them right
       D                     G        C
She is harmless and empty of anything bad
F                Am              Dm            E
 For she once had, something that, most of you have


[Chorus]
A             C#m
Lady Samantha glides like a tiger
D                   A
Over the hills with no one beside her
A             E   D                  A
 No one comes near, they all live in fear
    E              G         D    A    E
But Lady Samantha, she sheds lonely tears
A             C#m
Lady Samantha glides like a tiger
D                   A
Over the hills with no one beside her
A             E   D                  A
 No one comes near, they all live in fear
    E              G         D    A
But Lady Samantha, she sheds lonely tears
G         D    A
She sheds only tears
G         D    A
She sheds only tears
