FADING LADY by Jerry Jeff Walker (This version transcribed from McKendree Spring 3) Start/CHORUS: D G G D count all your jewelry and your lace D G Bm A count all the shoes beneath your bed D G G D and while your counting all those things in your head C G D try and wrest the sorrow from your face V1 Bm G when you were young you courted Bm E all the pretty boys Bm G A and laughed aloud with ones they knew Bm G and soon you walked and talked Bm E A and thought just like them too Bm C#m D E and now you wonder what's become of you [CHORUS] V2 when you chose one to be your husband for your life you weighed his good point by his gain his promised security was fulfilled and you felt fine now in your age those mellow years won't sustain [CHORUS] V3 now for imagination where you seek out the one who live a life of dreams they build you have no gifts to share you've nothing for no one so just watch the colors fade as you start to wilt [CHORUS]
