Verse 1:
                     Dm
I met a lady on a windy day
A                            Dm         Dm6
She never seemed to have too much to say
                             Gm7
Through the shouting and the swell
  Bb                  Gm6
I couldn't really tell
Bb7             A   Bb A
Still in love I fell

Verse 2:
                          Dm
Once she showed me to her living room
A                           Dm         Gm7
It looked to me more like a lovers tomb
Gm7
Filled with others tears
Gm7
Evil souvenirs
   Bb7                A    Bb A
Collected through the years

Chorus:
                         Dm
She said would you stay another night
A7                    Gm   Bbdim A7
I can sing my serpent lullaby
      Em7         A7
Not a single ugly thing
     Em7            A7
Only butterflies on wing
Bbmaj7          A7
Blossoms in the spring

Interlude:
   Dm    Gm7 Bb7 Gm7 Bb7
   A7

Verse 3:
                    Dm
Truth is there only for me to know
A       Dm
Hold on tightly dear and don't let go
     Gm7                 Bb
Baby I dont want to fight
       Gm7
If you leave me in the night
                        A   Bb A7
You will feel my poison bite

Verse 4:
                             Dm
Let me tell you friends I've been a fool
A                    Dm
To love a lady who I knew could be so cruel
                      Gm7
But if it had been you
Bb                Gm7
You'd have fallen too
       Bb                A Bb A7
Theres nothing you could do

Out-chorus:
                          Dm
She'd say won't you stay another night
A7                    Gm   A7
I can sing my serpent lullaby
      Em7         A
Not a single ugly thing
     Em7            A7
Only butterflies on wing
Gm              A7     Dm
Blossoms in the spring
