[Extended Outro]


               D/F#  G
Now that he's gone away
             G7
There isn't anyone to say
          C    G/B     D/F#   G
If I'm a lady gay, or a crazy woman

               D/F#   G
Now that he's gone away
             G7
There isn't anyone to say

If I'm a diamond or a dime a dozen

           F                   G
Didn't I gleam in my father's eye?

Who am I? Who am I?
           D/F#             G
Didn't I split my mother's side?
       F         G
Who am I? Who am I?
          Bb               C
Didn't I drink her nipple dry?
       F
Who am I?

            D/F#              F
And no one taught me how to cry
       F
Who am I?
        F              D/F#          G
How to cry for what I wanted in the night
       F
Who am I? Who am I?
              Bb      F
And didn't I cry and cry?
       G
Who am I?


Who am I?
