(C)

I (G)came by my(G7)self to a (F)very crowded (C)place
(G)I was looking for (G7)someone who had (F)lines in her (C)face
I (C)found her there (C7)but she was (F)past all concern
I (C)asked her to (F)hold me, (Dm)I said, "Lady unfold me."
But she (C)scorned me and she (F)told me
I was (G)dead (G7)and I could never re(C)turn

Well, (G)I argued all (G7)night like so (F)many have be(C)fore
(G)Saying, "Whatever you (G7)give me, I seem to (F)need so much (C)more."
Then (C)she pointed at (C7)me where I (F)kneeled on her floor
She (C)said, "Don't try to (F)use me (Dm)or slyly refuse me
Just (C)win me or (F)lose me
It is (G)this (G7)that the darkness is (C)for."

I (G)cried, "Oh, (G7)Lady Midnight, I (F)fear that you grow (C)old
(G)The stars eat your (G7)body and the (F)wind makes you (C)cold."
"If (C)we cry now," (C7)she said, "It will (F)just be ignored."
So (C)I walked through the (F)morning, (Dm)sweet early morning
I (C)could hear my lady (F)calling
"You've (G)won me, you've (G7)won me, my (C)lord
You've (G)won me, you've (G7)won me my (C)lord

Yes, you've (G)won me, you've (G7)won me, my (C)lord
Ah, you've (G)won me, you've (G7)won me, my (C)lord
Ah, you've (G)won me, you've (G7)won me, my (C)lord."

How to practise this song

1
Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

Practise the change: C7 ↔ C
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
