"This was finished in the Henry Hudson Hotel on 58th Street in New York. 
Yafa was doing tricks with her silver bangles. I owe her the last verse. 
It was recorded in Nashville. The voice is uncertain. In those days it 
took me fifteen minutes to decide whether or not I should wear my cap 
when I went outside and a half hour whether or not I should take it off 
when I came back."

use same pattern as for So Long Marianne

 
 /G          /G7      /F           /C
I came by my-self to a very crowded place;
/G                /G7             /F           /C
 I was looking for someone who had lines in her face.
 /               /C7         /F           /F
I found her there but she was past all con-cern;
  /C          /F     Em/Dm               /
I asked her to hold me,  said, "Lady, un-fold me,"
    Em7/C                 /F
but she scorned me and she told me
     /G   /G7
I was dead and I could never return.

Well, I argued all night like so many have before,
saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more."
Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor,
she said, "Don't try to use me or slyly refuse me,
just win me or lose me,
it is this that the darkness is for."

I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old,
the stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold."
"If we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored."
So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning,
I could hear my lady calling,

 F      /G            /G7        /C   /
"You've won me, you've won me, my lord,
/C      /G             /G7        /C
  you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
/C           /G             /G7        /C
  yes, you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
/C          /G             /G7         /C
  ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
/C          /G             /G7        /C
  ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord."
