Lady tab by Kenny Rogers

The chords are played with the thumb, but rolled
slowly rather than strummed. Also, the chords and
tabs line up with the lyrics as they are played in
the original, so the words are positioned below the
notes and chords on purpose to show rhythm and timing.

   Won't you believe  in my  song?


Verse 2: (follows Verse 1)

Lady, for so many years I'd thought I'd never find you
You have come into my life and made me whole
Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear


Chorus 2: (follows Chorus 1)

In my eyes, I see no one else but you
There's no other love like I love you
And yes, oh yes, I'll always want you near me
I've waited for you for so long
