Poor Lady Midnight Baby tab by Smokie

Intro

[Verse 1]
 A augmentedA        D MajorD   A augmentedA           D MajorD
I met a girl in L.A. and she seemed alright to me,
  A augmentedA         D MajorD       B minorBm        E MajorE
She said she'd give me loving and she said it would be free,
  A augmentedA         D MajorD     A augmentedA           D MajorD
She told me she would call me or leave a message at the door,
  B minorBm        E MajorE       A augmentedA  D MajorD  A augmentedA  D MajorD
And left me wondering what I was in for.


[Verse 2]
    A augmentedA        D MajorD       A augmentedA        D MajorD
By the next time that I saw her I had clean forgot her name
    A augmentedA       D MajorD        B minorBm       E MajorE
And without her fancy make-up she just didn't look the same,
   A augmentedA        D MajorD      A augmentedA       D MajorD
So I totally ignored her and she sadly turned away,
      B minorBm     E MajorE         A augmentedA
And through sympathy I told her she could stay.

[CHORUS]
    F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
    C# minorC#m        E MajorE
No one wants your love at all,
    F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
      C# minorC#m      E MajorE
Now you're heading for a fall,
    D MajorD
And you really think your're something,
     A augmentedA         E MajorE
you know all the things to do
     F# minorF#m     D MajorD
But poor lady, just a baby,
     E MajorE         A augmentedA  D MajorD  A augmentedA  D MajorD
There's a hundred more like you.


[Verse 3]
    A augmentedA           D MajorD
Now for two weeks more she was at my door,
     A augmentedA        D MajorD
She would stay with me for days,
   A augmentedA       D MajorD         B minorBm       E MajorE
As a lover she was frightening in so many different ways,
      A augmentedA       D MajorD       A augmentedA     D MajorD
But when it came to conversation she was totally absurd,
     B minorBm        E MajorE      A augmentedA
Oh she'd sit for hours and never say a word.

[CHORUS]
    F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
    C# minorC#m        E MajorE
No one wants your love at all,
    F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
      C# minorC#m      E MajorE
Now you're heading for a fall,
    D MajorD
And you really think your're something,
     A augmentedA         E MajorE
you know all the things to do
     F# minorF#m     D MajorD
But poor lady, just a baby,
     E MajorE         A augmentedA  D MajorD  A augmentedA  D MajorD
There's a hundred more like you.


[Verse 4]
  A augmentedA         D MajorD           A augmentedA      D MajorD
She spends her days in different ways, still trying to be hip,
    A augmentedA            D MajorD          B minorBm       E MajorE
And at night she'll find she'll lose her mind, at a club along the strip,
     A augmentedA       D MajorD          A augmentedA         D MajorD
When her money goes she always knows she got something she can sell,
     B minorBm         E MajorE       A augmentedA
It's the one thing that she really can do well.


[CHORUS]
    F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
    C# minorC#m        E MajorE
No one wants your love at all,
    F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
      C# minorC#m      E MajorE
Now you're heading for a fall,
    D MajorD
And you really think your're something,
     A augmentedA         E MajorE
you know all the things to do
     F# minorF#m     D MajorD
But poor lady, just a baby,
     E MajorE         A augmentedA  D MajorD  A augmentedA  D MajorD
