# Joni plays this on her guitar in C#F#C#F#A#C# tuning.
# This way is not fit to the recording exactly but is
# in the key of F#. I play this version with a capo on
# the first fret since none of the chords calls for an
# open string. Enjoy!
F# B
When I first saw your gallery
Abm F# B
I liked the ones of ladies
F# B
Then you began to hang up me
Abm F# B
You studied to portray me
F#
In ice and greens
Bbm
And old blue jeans
Ebm C#
And naked in the roses
F# B
Then you got into funny scenes
Abm F#
That all your work discloses
Abm Ebm B
"Lady, don't love me now I am dead
F# Ebm F#
I am a saint, turn down your bed
Abm B
I have no heart," that's what you said
F#
You said, "I can be cruel
B F#
But let me be gentle with you"
F# B
Somewhere in a magazine
Abm F# B
I found a page about you
F# B
I see that now it's Josephine
Abm F# B
Who cannot be without you
F# Bbm
I keep your house in fit repair
Ebm C#
I dust the portraits daily
F# B
Your mail comes here from everywhere
Abm F#
The writing looks like ladies'
Abm Ebm B
"Lady, please love me now, I am dead
F# Ebm F#
I am a saint, turn down your bed
Abm B
I have no heart," that's what you said
F#
You said, "I can be cruel
B F#
But let me be gentle with you"
F# B
I gave you all my pretty years
Abm F# B
Then we began to weather
F# B
And I was left to winter here
Abm F# B
While you went west for pleasure
F# Bbm
And now you're flying back this way
Ebm C#
Like some lost homing pigeon
F# B
They've monitored your brain, you say
Abm F#
And changed you with religion
Abm Ebm B
"Lady, please love me now I was dead
F# Ebm F#
I am no saint, turn down your bed
Abm B
Lady, have you no heart," that's what you said
F#
Well, I can be cruel
B F#
But let me be gentle with you
F# B
When I first saw your gallery
Abm F# B
I liked the ones of ladies
F# B
But now their faces follow me
Abm F# B F#
And all their eyes look shady
