Capo: 3
TWO GIRLS
by Townes Van Zandt
(Live at The Old Quarter)
My version's just a little different from the previous version:
Standard tuning
Capo 3
*Townes does a bunch of hammer on's and off's throughout, especially on C, Am and Dm.
Intro with a bunch of hammer on's:
C-Dm-C-C
Well the Cclouds didn't look like Dmcotton,
they didn't Geven lFook like cClouds.
I was underneath theDm weather,
and my fGriends looked Flike a cCrowd.
The sAmwimmin hole was Dmfull of rum,
I Ftried to find out Cwhy.
AllC I learned was Dmthis my friend,
you've got to Gswim beFfore you Cfly.
CHORUS:
I've got Ftwo gCirls,
one's in Amheaven, one's Dmbelow.
AmOh one I love wiDmth all my heart,
and Gone I Fdo not Cknow.
Two lonesome dudes on an ugly horse,
passed by not long ago.
They asked me where the action was,
I said I did not know.
And as they disappeared into the brush,
I heard the driver say.
He's a little slow between the ears,
he's always been that way.
CHORUS
Jolly Jane just lays around and listens with her mouth.
She's had about a dozen husbands,
but the last one just pulled out.
Now who's gonna bring her dinner,
through the weary years ahead?
All she'll get from me is sympathy,
got no time to see she's fed.
CHORUS
Now cold down on the bayou,
they say it's in your mind.
But the moccasins are treadin' ice,
and leavin' strange designs.
Cajuns say the last time,
this happened they weren't here.
All Beaumont's full of penguins,
and I'm a playin' it by ear.
