Poor Lady Midnight Baby tab by Smokie

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


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

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


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


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


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


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