Subject: CRD: Loretta/Townes Van Zandt
Here's another Townes Van Zandt song for you, the chords are simple, but
it's taken me a lot of practice to get the rthymns right. And if you pick
up the tempo just a little bit and really pound the chords, it's a real
rocker.
Loretta
Townes Van Zandt
E A E
Well Loretta she's my barroom girl
A E
Wears them sevens on her sleeves
E A E
Dances like a diamond shines
A E
Tells me lies I love to b'lieve
B7
Her age is always twenty two
A E
Her laughin' eyes a hazel hue
E A E
Spends my money like water falls
A E
Loves me like I want her to
Well Loretta won't you say to me
Darlin' put your guitar on
Have a little shot of booze
Play a blue and wailin' song
My guitar rings a melody
My guitar sings "Loretta's fine"
Long and lazy, blond and free
I can have her any time
Sweetest at the break a day
Prettiest in the setting sun
She don't cry when I can't stay
'Least not 'til she's all alone
Loretta I won't be gone long
Keep your dancin' slippers on
Keep me on your mind a while
I'll be back babe, to make you smile.
repeat 1st & 2nd verse, 2nd verse last line twice, end
There's a different version of this verse on some records:
Loretta I won't be gone long
Keep your dancin' slippers on
Keep me on your mind a while
I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home.
And between each pair of verses Townes plays a simple bass run twice:
E A E
