Introduction:
E
She loves full and true
B7
As a fighting bequest she was given her earth by a sea come to rest
E
And the children she bore loved this truly too much
B7
Calloused pride come to die in our hands as we touch
C#m
And so soften me now, let me take as it?s given
A
For the wind's started up and the lady is risen
E, B7, E
E
Is it snowing in London, And warm in your bed
B7
Have I nothing to give you, I'm cold in your head.
E
But you're burning in mine, come to rest off the train
B7
In the silence you've gone and the train comes again
C#m
It?s been years since I saw you, I've learnt how to live
A
And the love?s back in swing and the lady is risen
E, B7, C#m, A
E
Tell me where are the saints gone, Oh where is the pull
B7
Are they flourished in times that were guarded with wool
E
You know limbless they marched till they fell off the map.
B7
Are you sick of them falling like crumbs on your lap
C#m
You once told me that this isn't all that there is
A
And the band started up and the lady is risen.
E, B7, C#m, A, B, C#, E
E
You know life isn't always like the end of your novels
B7
Things might wind up but they always unravel
E
And I?ll watch you with eyes that can see I can see
B7
That you're too good at pulling that wool over me
C#m
And I?ll fight but there?s nothing here I find to resist
A
And the winds started up and the lady is risen.
E, B7, C#m, A, B, C#, E
