From: jk13@aol.com (JK13) 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
CWell Loretta she's my Fbarroom Cgirl FWears them sevens on her Csleeves CDances like a Fdiamond Cshines FTells me lies I love to Cb'lieve
G7Her age is always twenty two Her Flaughin' eyes a hazel Chue CSpends my money like Fwater Cfalls FLoves me like I want her Cto
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: C F C |-----------------0----| |-----------------0----| |-----------------1----| |------2-2-h4-2---2----| |-2-h4----------4-2----| |-----------------0----| Enjoy ! jk ----------------------------------------------------------- jk13@aol.com (John Kearney) "If we do not change direction, we will end up where we are headed."
