C    G    Am   C

Dm   F    G    G

[Verse 1]
    C         G         Am           C
The old gypsy woman she looked at my palm
    Dm            F                 C    G
She said son I’ve got good news and bad
    C                 G            Am          C
The good news is your life line is healthy and strong
         Dm           F            C   G
But your love line is sure looking sad

[Chorus]
           C            G
You need a lady in your life
  Am          C
A lover and a wife
Dm         F         C    G
Someone to call your own
           C            G
You need a lady in your life
    Am           C
And I know she’s right
          Dm  C   F  G       C    G
Cause the la--dy  in my life is gone

[Verse 2]
  C           G           Am             C
I went to the doctor that I’ve known for years
   Dm           F           C     G
He checked everything on my chart
        C            G         Am          C
He said your body is fine it’s all in your mind
Dm         F             C     G
Someone is breaking your heart

[Chorus]
           C            G
You need a lady in your life
  Am          C
A lover and a wife
Dm         F         C    G
Someone to call your own
           C            G
You need a lady in your life
    Am           C
And I know she’s right
          Dm  C   F  G          C     C
Cause the la--dy  in my life is gone

[Bridge]
   F
He met there that old friend
    Em
Who bought him a drink
   Dm7          C
He cried on his shoulder
            F           G
he said you know what I think

[Chorus]
           D            A
You need a lady in your life
  Bm          D
A lover and a wife
Em         G         D    A
Someone to call your own
           D            A
You need a lady in your life
    Bm           D
And I know she's right
          Em  D   G  A          D    Bm
Cause the la--dy  in my life is gone

[Outro]
          Em  D   G  A          D    A    Bm   A   D
Cause the la--dy  in my life is gone
