Blackpatch Laura Nyro
[C] [Dm] [G]
[C]Invitations to my [Dm]party, send J[C]ones and inviting c[Dm]ard,
He got his m[C]ean streak from the [Dm]gutter, got his k[Bb]indness from [Em]God.
[C] [Dm] [G]
Now, t[C]ugboats paint the r[Dm]iver, carry c[C]oal to the city w[Dm]hite dock-liners,
[C]Happiness on the u[Dm]ptown side of p[Bb]arty in the morning [Dm]tide.
[C]Oooh, [Am]la la la b[D]lack[Em]patch,
[C]Oooh, [Am]la la la b[D]lack[Em]patch,
[C]Oooh, [Am]la la la b[D]lack[Em]patch,
In b[F]lackpatch, In b[F]lackpatch
[C]Clothes pins on w[Dm]ashropes, w[C]indow-to-window [Dm]tie,
[C]Socks and bells and n[Dm]ightgowns,
[Bb]Tassels in the m[Am]ornings, t[Bb]assels in the m[Am]orning s[Em]ky.
[Dm]People are you r[C]eady?
[Am]People are you t[Em]rying?
[Em]Ready, Ready, Ready,
[G]I've been trying, I've been t[Am]hinking,
[Gm]I've been trying, I've been t[Am]hinking.
[F]
[C]Woman-child on the [Dm]side street, f[C]lashing in bl[Dm]ackpatch,
[C]Lipstick on her r[Dm]eefer, w[Bb]aiting for a m[Em]atch.
[C] [Dm] [C] [C]
