For My Lady chords
The Moody Blues 1972 (Seventh Sojourn album, Ray Thomas)

Capo III*

E Bm A E 2x

   E                 Bm
My boat sails stormy seas
        A                  E
Battles oceans filled with tears
   E                 Bm
At last my port's in view
         A               E
Now that I've discovered you

E      A               C#m
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
       F#m    C#m
For my gentle lady
        Bm            E
Give it freely and completely
      A
To my lady

E Bm A E

   E                  Bm
As life goes drifting by
       A                    E
Like a breeze she'll gently sigh
    E              Bm
And slowly bow her head
            A               E
Then you'll hear her softly cry.

Dm                      A
Words that you say when we're alone
       Dm                        A
Though actions speak louder than words
    Dm                 A
But all I can say is I love you so

    E               Bm
Set sail before the sun
         A                    E
Feel the warmth that's just begun
      E              Bm
Share each and every dream
       A            E
They belong to everyone.

E      A               C#m
Oh I'd give my life so lightly

For my gentle lady

To my lady
