	  		Intro 
G       D       C 
G       D       C 

G               D               C       G 
Sunday morning hell, it's finally come 
        D               C 
Washed these bleary eyed windows just to see the sun 
G       Em              A 
And I keep on thinking it will pass some time 
C                       D 
Bring back the peace of mind and carry that old smile of mine 


C                       G               EM 
If I were a child I would cry and beg your pardon 
C       D       G               EM      C 
If I were a beggar I would hold out my hand 
D               G               EM      C 
If I were an angel I would smile and say you owe me 
                D       C               G 
But I am just a lady you never tried to understand 


G       D               C       G 
Why am I so cold inside today 
        D               C 
These home town streets look so dirty and gray 
G       Em              A 
And I don't want to save it until the night rolls in 
C                       G 
Do you feel the pain my friend? 
C       D 
Well it's alright 

(Chorus) 

Bridge: 
G       D       C 
G       D       C 

G       D               C        
Those old morning after blues go a hold of me 
G       D               C 
I'm a Saturday night drunk with no place to drink 
G       Em      A 
And I don't want to face the truth I see in me 
C       D               G       C 
"Cause in my mind I already going home to Satan 

(Chorus) 

D       C       G       D 
I am just a lady I've tried so hard to understand.
