4. BARROOM GIRLS

Capo V

Intro: (G)(D)

Oh the (G)night came undone like a party dress

And fell at her feet in a beautiful (D)mess

The (G)smoke and the whiskey came home in her (C)curls

And they crept through the (G)dreams of the (D)barroom (G)girls (D)

Well she (G)tosses and turns because the sun is unkind

And the heat of the day is coming in through the (D)blinds

But (G)leave all the blue skies for the rest of the (C)world

Because the neon will (G)shine for the (D)barroom (G)girls

Oh the (D)barroom girls go (G)by your side

Like the (A)ponies who pass on a (D)carousel ride

And (G)all of the colors go 'round in a (C)swirl

When you dance in the (G)arms of the (D)barroom (G)girls

Now she (G)rolls to her feet when she can't sleep no more

And looks at her clothes lying out on the (D)floor

(G)Last night's spangles and yesterday's (C)pearls

Are the bright morning (G)stars of the (D)barroom (G)girls

Last night's spangles and yesterday's (C)pearls

Are the bright morning (G)stars of the (D)barroom (G)girls
