Tom: Em
Bm C D7 G
[Verse 1]
Bm C
I'm weary from my travels
D7 G
Have come a long, long way
Bm C
I haven't felt a woman
D7 G
Since last that I was here
Em C
Oh, won't you bring me whiskey
D7 G
And run your fingers through my hair?
Em C
Oh, won't you whisper sweet words
D7 G
Oh, so softly in my ears?
Em C
Oh, you're late
D7 G
Oh, you're late
Em C D7 G
You're late
[Verse 2]
Bm C
Can you always tell a sinner
D7 G
From a sane, if he's the same
Bm C
And is your thick skin growing thinner?
D7 G
Have you found someone to blame?
Em C
She said, "You need not worry, child
D7 G
Now is not the time"
Em C
And then she kissed me on the forehead
D7 G
And turned my water into wine
[Chorus 1]
Em C
My fair lady
D7 G
My fair lady
B C
Just let me hold you for a while
D7 G
Just let me hold you for a while
Em C
My fair lady
D7 G
My fair lady
B C
Just let me hold you for a while
D7 G
Just let me hold you for a while
[Verse 3]
Bm C
Keep lookin' out your window
D7 G
When the storms are raging on
Bm C
Oh-oh, and before you know, girl
D7 G
I'd be coming back ashore
Em C
Coming back to my hometown
D7 G
Where I saw you first
Em C
I knew you were the one
D7
I knew it all along
G
Go on, claim my heart
[Bridge]
F C Em A
Some niiii_ights you just seem forever lasting
F C Em A Cm
Low liiii_ights make me know that you're there
C D7
Oh
[Chorus 2]
Em C
My fair lady
D7 G
My fair lady
B C
Oh, won't you lay by my side
D7 G
Just let me hold you for a while
Em C
My fair lady
D7 G
My fair lady
B C
Oh, won't you lay here by my side?
D7 G
Just let me hold you for a while
B C
Won't you lay here by my side?
D7 G
Just let me hold you for a while
