Verse 1:


E                   B
Lady of the Ark I think I found a part,
  F#                               E
I think I found a piece of what you used to be.
E                       B
Dozing in the back of a funeral car
    F#                              E
and tangled in the blankets of your memory.
E        B              E
So why, why did I waste you?
            B         A            E
If I'd have felt that love come to fall
  B                  F#                                     E
I couldn't save you, plunging to the earth as sweet as cannonball
E         B             E
Oh why why did I know you?
          B              A         E
How did I know you would go in the end?
                B
Fell out of the sky, you told me,
F#                              E
"Baby I'll be gone but when I'm back again, we'll try"
E  B  F#  E
Try-yy-yy  x 3

Verse 2:


E                 B
Lady of the ark I think you were the start
  F#                                    E
I think you were the key with which his heart was closed.
E                    B
Not his only secret, not his only weakness,
  F#                              E
I found him at the party feeling through her clothes.
E                    B           E
And he cried, cried, "I'm wasted"
                B        A               E
And he couldn't look you straight in the mouth
             B                F#                              E
But all that time he'd taken, even though he didn't watch the words come out
E         B                  E
Oh why why did you leave me?
               B              A          E
Why didn't you think it would rip me apart?
E                 B          F#                                E
And we were always bleeding, inward toward the spirit when the soul departs the mind
E  B  F#  E
Mi-ii-ii-nd  x 3

Chorus:


E           B                E
And I could see your face now
         B              A              E
Tripping sick with your ear to the wall
          B                   E        Em
You can't find the way down, my lady, my lady
E
'til you fall.
E  B  F#  E

Verse 3:


E                             B
Well, strange prodigal woman, she can't see it comin',
F#                         E
Bats her eyes at everybody one by one.
E                               B
And though she's movin' faster, still he's blowin' past her
F#                            E
Naked with his eye toward the morning sun.
E                     B           E
But you're wild, wild, I've seen it
                B             A             E
And he left you sick when you loved him the most.
               B                 F#                             E
So now you're done and defeated, torn between the devil and the holy ghost.
E             B               E
Swing low, low, sweet heathen,
              B            A              E
Swing for the rich and the rock 'n roll kids
E             B
Who roam this Earth repeating
F#                             E
All this sin until this wicked world makes sense in time.
E  B  F#  E
Ti-ii-ii-me   x 3
