F    A#


Verse 1:
A#                    F
Oh, Loretta, she's a barroom girl
                         A#
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
              F
Dances like a diamond shines
                          A#
Tells me lies I love to believe
    A#
Her age is always twenty-two
    F                      A#
Her laughing eyes a hazel hue
                     F      A#
Spends my money like water falls
F                         A# F   A# F   A#
Loves me like I want her to

Verse 2:
A#                      F       A#
Oh, Loretta, won't you say to me?
F                         A#
Darling, put your guitar on
              F        A#    F
Have a little shot of booze
                        A#
Play a blue and wailing song
   A#
My guitar rings a melody
   F                        A#
My guitar sings, Loretta's fine
               F          A#
Long and lazy, brown and free
F                            A# F   A#
And I can have her anytime


Verse 3:
A#               F
Sweetest at the break of day
                         A#
Prettiest in the setting sun
                   F        A#
She don't cry when I can't stay
F                             A#
At least not till she's all alone
  A#
Loretta, I won't be gone long
F
Keep your dancing slippers on
A#               F
Keep me on your mind a while
                            A#   F
I'm coming home, I'm coming home

A#                   F
Oh Loretta, she's a barroom girl
                         A#
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
              F
Dances like a diamond shines

Tells me lies I love to believe
    A#
Her age is always twenty-two
    F
Her laughing eyes a hazel hue
A#                    F
Spends my money like waterfalls
                         A#
Loves me like I want her to

Loves me like I want her to

Loves me like I want her to
