[Intro] Bm  C  D7  G

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

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

        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

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

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

        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
