-4  -4  -4 -4  -4  -4 -4
Lis-ten to my tale of woe
 -3   3 -3  3  -2*   3   2
It’s ter-i-bly sad, but true
-5    -5    -5 -5  -5   -5 -5
All dressed up no place to go
 4   -4   4   -4  -3   -4  3
Each ev-‘ning I’m awf-‘ly blue
-3 -1  -1   -5  -5   3    3
I must win some win-some miss
 -3   -1 -1  -5   -4
Can’t go on like this
-4  -4    -4  -4  -4 -4  -4
I could  blos-som out I know
 -3   3*  -3  3* -2   3    2   -1
With some-bod-y just like you, so,

Refrain
-5    4   -4   -5  -5 -5 -4 3   -1
Oh, sweet and love-ly la-dy be good
-5 -5 4  3   -1  -4 3
Oh la-dy be good to me
-5 4 -4 -5   -5 -5  -4  3   -1
I am so awf’-ly mis-un-der-stood
-5 -5 4  -3  -1  -4 3
So la-dy be good to me

6     6     6    6    6 -5
Oh, please have some pit-y
-4  -4 -4  -4  -4  -4  -4  -4 -3
I’m all a-lone in this big ci-ty
-4 4    4* -5   4  -4  -5   -5
I tell you I’m just a lone-some
 -5  -4  3   -1
Babe in the wood
6  -5 4  -3  -1  -4 3
So la-dy be good to me

Auburn and brunette and blond
I love ‘em all, tall or small
But somehow they don’t grow fond
They stagger but never fall
Winter’s gone and now it’s spring
Love, where is thy sting
If somebody won’t respond
I’m going to end it all so
To refrain
 6   6  6   6    6   -5
This is tu-lip weath-er
-4   -4  -4  -4  -4  -4  -4  -4  -3
So let’s put two and two to-geth-er
-4 4    4* -5   4  -4  -5   -5
I tell you I’m just a lone-some
 -5  -4  3   -1
Babe in the wood
6  -5 4  -3  -1  -4 3
So la-dy be good to me
