Blossom Lady (from 1971 single A-side) Written by Robbie van Leeuwen
Intro: Dm C Dm Dm C Dm Gm Dm Gm Dm A
Dm
Once I had a boy-friend,
C
He was so tall and strong,
B
And he knew what I needed
A
When I was all alone.
Dm
Then he said to me,
C
`I'll care for you day and night,
B
I'll never forsake you.
A
Yes, I stay by your side.'
D
Don't be afraid, girl,
Hm
You're the one, the one I love.
D
Don't be afraid, girl,
Hm
You're the one, the one I love.

You're (you're) my blossom lady,
C Dm
My blossom lady,
C Dm A
My blossom lady.'
Solo chords: D Hm A Hm Hm A Hm D Hm A Hm Hm A Hm D Hm
`You're (you're) my blossom lady,

But one year later
I was as lonely as I was before.
I saw my boy-friend
At some other girl's door.
And there was that hurt again,
As so on day we broke away,
Then I remembered
What he used to say.
`Don't be afraid, girl,
You're the one, the one I love.
Don't be afraid, girl,
You're the one, the one I love.'
He said, `'Cause you're my blossom lady,
You're (you're) my blossom lady,
My blossom lady,
My blossom lady.'
