The Lady Is A Tramp

Words & Music by Lorenz Hart & Richard Rodgers
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1957


C            Cm7         Dm7        G7
She gets too hungry for dinner at eight;

C             Cm7          Dm7          G7
She likes the theater, but never comes late.

C          CM7         C9           F  Fm
She never bothers with people she hates,

C      C/B      F   G7     C   Am  G#7  G7      
That's why the lady is a tramp.


     C          Cm7             Dm7         G7
She don't go to crap games with Barons and Earls,

C            Cm7       Dm7       G7
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls,

C              CM7        C9          F  Fm
Won't dish the dirt like some of the girls --

C      C/B      F   G7      C    C7
That's why the lady is a tramp.


Bridge:


               FM7   G7    Em7         Am
She likes the free, fresh wind in her hair

Dm7            G   C         A7   D7      G7
Life without care;   she's broke,   it's oke.


C           Cm7             Dm7            E7
Hates Cal-i-for - nia, it's cold and it's damp --

Am     Am7     D7   G7     C     Am   D7   G7
That's why the lady is a tramp.


(Last time)


C           Cm7             Dm7            E7
Hates Cal-i-for - nia, it's cold and it's damp --

Am7              D7  G       Bm7-5     E7
That's why the lady,   that's why the lady,

Am                D7  Fdim G   C
  That's why the lady  is  a tramp.
