Lady Dont Fall Backwards

Peter Doherty


Tom: Bm

[00:36]       B7
when the cold wind now blows,
                      Em         A7
and the cold wind now blows in my heart
        Dmaj7              
it was a summer breeze 
    Bm                                  
and she would meet me 

Em                         A7    Dmaj7
in chinatown for opium and tea
                          Bm            
and she always brought me flowers....

[continue   Em | A7 | Dmaj7 | Bm   till break]


chorus [01:56]:

C#                           Bb7        
But Lady don't you fall backwards
D#m                   G#
Come on fall into my arms.......


on shaking an withdrawn, pete changes keys between verse and chorus to merge into bollywood to battersea.
playing on your own, this key change sounds rather strange. here is the chorus in proper key.

chorus as suggested:

G                            E7         
But Lady don't you fall backwards
Am                   D
Come on fall into my arms.......
