The Lady Is Lingering by Sparks The Lady Is Lingering E E/G# Every word pronounced distinctly, slowly E E/G# There are no contractions, nothing slurred A A/C# Unprepared you watch in rank amazement A A/C# As she lights her cigarette and stirs Bm F#m Every motion is complete, no editing of anything E E/D# A/E Encouraging, encouraging, and not the customary bill of fore Chorus: A G D Can't you see the lady is lingering (lingering) A E B E This lady's lingering, and you cannot believe the reason why Every sip is of the smallest quantity That still denotes apparent thirst Every question is a means to draw long answers Play the fool, it doesn't hurt Splitting, spliting headache coming Get up early in the morning Where are the funny phrases that are always followed by goodbye Chorus Dm C Dm C Is it now all up to you, do you now guide the evening, Dm C Dm C A or do you await a further signal, a look, a touch, a sigh Chorus Dm Bb Risky business, all this waiting, wondering A Em A risky business, all this waiting, wondering (repeat) Chorus by: José Duarte jtduarte1@gmail.com www.TAB6.com
