written by Allison/Curtis/Gilmore taken from the Buddha re-issure of "This Time" GAD Hmmmmmm D G D The snow got much too deep for me in Denver G A D The rain fell way too hard out in L.A. G A D I couldn't stand the sandstorms in West Texas G A7 That's all it took for me to be on my way D G D Then a friend told me about the peaches down in Georgia G A D He said the weather's fine, boy the livin' sure fits your style G A D Well that's why I'm on this work gang in the hot sun G A7 D With a redneck judge gettin' ready for an unfair trial CHORUS: G A D But there's a lady on my mind in New York City G A D All along she's burned a torch for me G A D She stands proud and tall in New York Harbor G A D And in time I know she'll see that I go free GAD Hmmmmmm (key change to E) E A E The man told me I'd better change my way of livin' A B E He said now we got laws just made for the likes of you A B E We ain't got time for your kind here in this town A B7 He just wouldn't believe I was only passin' thru E A E Now let me be the first to say there's gotta be some changes A B E And he may be right, some changes oughta be in me A B E But the same damn law that put me on this work gang A B7 E Give you and me the right to disagree CHORUS: A B7 E There's a lady on my mind in New York City A B7 E All along she's burned a torch for me A B7 E She stands proud and tall in New York Harbor A B7 E And in time I know she'll see that I go free A B7 E Hmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm (4x) Don't like the B chord? There're 2 things you can do. First, play all the B chords as B7 (takes out some of the "punch" when you come to a B7, but it's easier). Second, play the song with a capo on II, and use the following chords: D = C G = F A = G A7 = G7 E = D B = A B7 = A7
