Lucinda Williams
Happy Woman Blues 


E
Tryin' hard to be a happy woman.

But sometimes life just overcomes me,
A7                                   E E7 E E7 E E7 E
Everyday I'm workin' just to pay my dues.
B7                    A7              E  E7 E E7 E E7 E
Lay down at night, my mind is so confused.
E
Goin' down south with the New York City blues,

Gotta hit the road before I blow a fuse,
        A7                            E E7 E E7 E E7 E
I might buy me a Cadillac or a Chevrolet.
B7                         A7                   E E7 E E7 E E7
I don't care what model as long as it takes me away

SOLO

E
I've been hiding my heart in a trunk.

Can you come see me when my ship has sunk
A7                                     E E7 E E7 E E7 E
You can give me loovin, that I can't refuse,
    B7                           A7              E E7 E E7 E E7
And love is the one thing that's sure to cure my blues.
E
Goin' down the road with a heave heart,

Tryin' to find lightness in the dark,
A7                                          E E7 E E7 E E7 E
Tryin' to live my life, tryin' to get satisfied.
B7                            A7                    E E7 E E7 E E7 E
My mind is in the city but my heart is in the countryside.
