Genesis - The Lady Lies Ukulele

Alot of these base chords will work as some of these variations are a case of Tony 
integrating the melody into his chording(as in Follow you, Follow Me)

On the topic of the first part:  The bass is a Bb over "moonlight"  so it could 
work as such or be played as a Cm6/Bb(if you are playing solo) and then the 
Bbmaj7(or Dm/Bb if you prefer for guitarists whom can wrap their thumb all the way 
around the neck to hit that second string) over "sound",  "rescues", "enter" and 
"kingdom" 

"Thinks he" is Cmadd9 Cm with "is" Cm and "a" Cm6.  "Warrior" is Fsus4(wari) , F
(or) with "so" being an Fadd9 and "he" being an F5...again a case of the melody 
being in the chording.  Didn't think about picking those nits, but I will make 
those changes to please the music nerds.

Well played, Mr. Banks...well played.

The chorus is over an Ab Bass pedal so Ebm/Ab will voice over the bass as an 
Abm9no3 and the Bbm/Ab as Db6no5/Ab. (Guitarists playing solo may want to play the 
Abm9 and Db here)   The Ebm/Ab, Bbm/Ab in the piano sounds correct to me, so I am 
going to stick with that.  If there is a difference, it is so minor as to be 
unnoticeable to the untrained ear, which is what I very well may be.

There was some  - thing in her   man - ner

That his mind could not ignore.

Also it is whispered

In the kingdom far and wide,

To be  ware  a  lit - tle   cot -  tage

"So glad you could make it
       Gm     
We had everything arranged.
Cm                           Dm           
So glad you saw fit to pay a call."

     Cm        Cm6/Bb
Some men never listen,
    Bbmaj7       Gm
And others never learn,
        Cmadd9  Cm      Cm6   Fsus4 F
But why this -  man did as -  he    did
     Gm        Gm7 Gm
Only he will ever know.

Cm             Cm6/Bb
He knew he was walking
Bbmaj7               Gm
Into a waiting trap,
Cmadd9  Cm     Cm6    Fsus4 F
Neat  - ly set up   - for   him
       Gm         Gm7 Gm
With a bait so richly wrapped.

C/G   C9/G C   C9/G   C9/G C/G  C9/G  C/G  Cadd9
So he went inside there to take on what he found
       Eb      Bb/F            Abmaj7    G7b9           B B A G G A D D A E
But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires?

I fear the dark and I live all alone.
     Ebm/Ab            Bbm/Ab
