Once i was a lady
De akkoorden in dit nummer
F C F Once I was a lady, dressed in black and blue F G C I used to walk the boulevard, cause that's what ladies do F Bb F My nails were always polished, my secrets always hid F C F I just did whatever it was that all the other ladies did F C F At nighttime around my bedside I keep a million lights F G C One for every soldier who fought the war and died F Bb F For my husband is a landlord whose eyes are full of greed F C F And his army full of young men whom he never even sees Dm A But now I am somebody else with golden books upon my shelves Bb F and diamonds on my mind Dm A Strolling through the woods at night to find the little bits of light Bb F C Others leave behind F C F Once I was a soldier in the army of some lord F G C I have never even seen him, I just got paid to hold his sword F Bb F I kept my armour shiny and I kept my secrets hid F C F And whatever I was told to do, that is what I did F C F When I think about it now it's hard for me to say F G C Whether I had a choice in life to do the things my way F Bb F Because by the time I heard about that lady's bedside state F C F I had already gone far too far, it was already too late Dm A But now I am somebody else with golden books upon my shelves Bb F and diamonds on my mind Dm A Strolling through the woods at night to find the little bits of light Bb F C Others leave behind F C F Once I was a student, I had to pick up my degree F G C And I thought about the years gone by, the years that numbered three F Bb F How things that had seemed important turned out to be a joke F C F And things that had seemed natural had all gone up in smoke F C F Earlier a crowd had come to see me win my prize F G C I felt like I deserved it, it was justice in my eyes F Bb F but the only thing that I could think was 'what am I gonna do? F C F when all of this is over, when my days of hope are through?' Dm A But now I am somebody else with golden books upon my shelves Bb F and diamonds on my mind Dm A Strolling through the woods at night to find the little bits of light Bb F C Others leave behind
