Once i was a lady

Akkoorden in dit liedje

F                    C                    F
Once I was a lady, dressed in black and blue
F                                     G                C
I used to walk the boulevard, cause that's what ladies do
F                                 Bb              F
My nails were always polished, my secrets always hid
F                                C                    F 
I just did whatever it was that all the other ladies did

F                               C                F
At nighttime around my bedside I keep a million lights
F                           G                 C
One for every soldier who fought the war and died
F                                  Bb                 F
For my husband is a landlord whose eyes are full of greed
F                                 C                F
And his army full of young men whom he never even sees

    Dm                           A
But now I am somebody else with golden books upon my shelves 
    Bb              F
and diamonds on my mind
Dm                                       A
Strolling through the woods at night to find the little bits of light 
Bb      F       C
Others leave behind

F                           C             F
Once I was a soldier in the army of some lord
F                                   G                     C
I have never even seen him, I just got paid to hold his sword
F                          Bb                 F
I kept my armour shiny and I kept my secrets hid
F                               C              F
And whatever I was told to do, that is what I did

F
