The Lady Is A Tramp Chords by Ella Fitzgerald

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I've [Am] wined and dined [Bm] on [Am] mulligan stew [Em] and [Bb] never wished [Bm] for [Dbm] turkey _
As I hitched [Bm] and hiked [E] and grifted [Bm] to [A] from Maine [E] to _ [B] _ [Gb] Albuquerque
[Gbm] _
_ Alas, I missed [Bm] the _ [E] Bozarts ball [Em] and [C] what is [A]
twice [C] as sad
[D] _ _
[G] I was [C] never [G] at a party [C] where they [G] _ [D] honored _ noble care
[E] _ _ But _
[Em] social circles spin too fast for _ _ [Db] me
_ _ _ [D]
My whole _ _ [Bb] bohemia is the place to [C] _
be
_ _ _ [G] _ _ I [Gm] get too hungry [C] for dinner [D] at eight _ _ [G] _ [Bm] I
Like [Bb] the theater, _ [C] but never _ come late.
[G] _ I
Never [Fm] bother _ [C] with people [Eb] I [Cm] hate
_ [G] _ _ [Eb] That's why [C] the [Bm] lady is [G] a _ trap
_ [B] _ [G] _ _ _ I don't [Bb] like crap games [C] with barons and _ _ [D] earls
[G] _ [Bm] Won't go [Gm] to Harlem [C] in ermine [D] and _ pearls
_ [G] _ Won't dish [F] the dirt with [Em] the rest of the [Cm] _ girls
_ [G] _ That's why the [Am] [D] lady [G] is a trap _ _ [Am] I like the free _ _ [D] _ _ fresh
[G] _ wind in [Gm] my _ hair
[Am] _ Life [D] without care
[G] _ _ I'm [Am] broke.
[G] It's Oh
Hey, _ [Gm] _ [Dm] California
It's [C] cold and it's [E] dead
[Fm] _ [G] _ _ _ [Eb] That's why [E] the lady [D] _ [G] is a trap _ _
[Bb] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bm] I go [Bb] to Coney [C] the _ beach is divine
[A] _ _ [Em] _ [Bm] I [Bb] go to ball games [C] the _ [D] bleachers are _ fine
[Em] I _ [F] follow winter _ [C] and _ _
[A] _ That's _ _ [D] _ [Eb] _ [Am] why
_ [Bm] I [G] _ _ _ _
_ [B] like [Bm] _ _ _ _
a [Bb] prize fight [C] that isn't a pain [Ab] _ _ [G] _ [Bm] I
[Bb] Love the rowing [C] on Central [D]
Park Lane.
_ [G] _ I
[B] Go to opera and [Am] stay wide [Eb] _ [Cm] away
_ [G] _ That's why the [E] [D] lady is [G] a _ trap I like [C] the green _ [D] _ grass
_ [G] _ _
Under [Bm] my [Bb] _ [Am] shoes
What can [D] I _ lose?
[Em] _ I'm flat
[Bbm] _ [G] That's bad [Ab] _ [Ebm] _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ when [Bbm] I love [C] my life _ [Fm] _ _
[E] that's why
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
