Verse 1
        A            D            A               D
I was cold and so a-lone, so I couldn’t help but moan,
           A               D              E
When the life that I had known started crumbling,
                A     D     A      D       A      F#m    B      E   E7
And then this crazy world that I live in started giving more to me!


Chorus
     A     D     E   E7 A     D         E
No, I’ve never known a lady like your self,
     A     D     E   E7  A
No, I’ve never known a lady!

I was searching all the world, looking for a girl,
         A           D            E
Then a lady made an Earl of this poor boy,
           A     D    A       D        A      F#m   B      E
Now this crazy world that I live in started giving more to me!

Left hand Fingers:  T= Thumb                
                    I= Index finger
                    M= Middle finger
                    R= Ring finger
                    L= Little finger


NB: These suggested fingerings of the chords are shown as played
with the left hand ( i.e. for a right handed player.)
Where a row of ‘I’s is shown at the same fret this indicates a barre
chord and the Index finger lays across all strings at that fret.

The harmony riffs below are played by sliding smoothly between the shapes,
keeping the middle finger on the 3rd string, and lifting the  middle and index fingers off and on the 1st string.
For example, in the first two bars the shapes are:

xxx2x2   xxx4x3   xxx5x5
   M R      M I      M R

All the other riffs use the same intervals and fingering, only they’re just higher up the neck.
