Lady Little River Band
By Little River Band
Tabbed by Nick C.
I didn't see a tab of this that I liked, so here's my version.
This is my first time tabbing something this large, but any feedback is good feedback.
I tried to get the timing of the lyrics as close as possible,
but sometimes it wasn't possible,
so listen to the song for all the right timings.
Standard Tuning

feel for the winter, but dont have a cold heart.
[Refrain]
This guitar is a clean electric with heavy reverb.
e|-----0--- B|-------3- --> x15 G|---1----- D|-2------- A|--------- E|---------
And I love you best. You're not like the rest.
You're there when I need you you're there when I need
I'm gonna need you.
[Verse 2]
Electric guitar fingerpicks what the acoustic guitar did in verse 1.
It's hard to hear what it does on the D and E chords,
but I just improvise a fingerpicking pattern. Acoustic guitar strums the chords.
A [A]long time[A/G] ago I[A/F#] had a[A/G] lady to [A]love[A/G] [A/F#] [A/G]
[D] She made me think of things I never thou[A]ght [A/G]of[A/F#] [A/G]
[E] Now she's gone and [D]I'm on my own
A [A]love [A/G]song has[A/F#] come into my[A/G] mind
A [A]love [A/G]song, it was[A/F#] there all the[A/G] time[A] [A/G] [A/F#] [A/E]
[Cborus]
(All instruments just play the chords)
So [D]lady, let me take a look at you [A]now
You're [D]there on the dance floor, making me want you some[A]how
Oh [D]lady, I think it's only fair I should [A]sa[A/G]y to[A/F#] you[A/E]
E D A (to solo)
Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you, 'cause maybe I do
[Solo]
Piano and acoustic guitar play Verse 2
Moderately distorted electric guitar plays:
e|-7b9--9-----7b9-9-9r7-5-------7b9--9-----------5-7b9-7-5-| B|----------------------7-5------------------5-7-----------| G|---------------------------------------5-6---------------| e|-12b14-12-------------------- B|----------10-12b14r12-10----- G|----------------------------- e|-12--------------9----12b14-12-9--------------- B|------------9-12---12------------10-12b14r12-10 G|----9-11-12-------------------------------------- e|---------9-12-------------| B|------10------12b14r12-10-| G|-9-11---------------------|
[Verse 3]
No guitar here, so you can do whatever you want, but these are the chords:
Look a[A7]round,[A7/G] [A7/F#] [A7/G]
come to [A7]me[A7/G] [A7/F#] [A7/G]
[A7]I have no [A7/G]answers, but[A7/F#] know where I[A7/G] wanna be[A7] [A7/G] [A7/F#] [A7/G]
I look a[A7]round,[A7/G] [A7/F#] [A7/G]
play a p[A7]art[A7/G] [A7/F#] [A7/G]
I was [A7]born in the[A7/G] winter and[A7/F#] cooled by a[A7/G] warm heart[A7] [A7/G] [A7/F#] [A7/E]
Then play the Refrain and Chorus one more time, but finish the chorus with this:
E D A (to riff)
Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you cause maybe I do
[Riff]
e|------------------------------- B|------------------------------- G|------------------------------- D|---5---7-9-7-9b11r9p7--9p7---7- A|-7---7---------------9----9p7-- E|------------------------------- e|--------------------------------------------------------- B|--------------------------------------------------------- G|--------------------------------------------------------- D|--------------------------------------------------------- A|-7-----------------------------5---------------2--------- E|-------------------------------------------------------5-
Don't be thinkin' that I don't want you, cause lady I do
(And sorry, but I didn't take time to learn the outro. I usually just improvise it.)
