 G+G FF G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD

G+G        D MajorD
Five lonely days when I rode into town
                   A augmentedA
Down from the mines to lay some money down
C majorC             D MajorD        G+G
Stopped at a tavern they called ?The Sweet Princess?
D MajorD              A augmentedA     D MajorD
There I met the girl in the red satin dress

D MajorD
Her gown shimmered scarlet as she walked across the room
                       A augmentedA
I could see her soft skin and smell her sweet perfume
C majorC                  D MajorD        G+G
Her eyes flashed with lightning, she beckoned with a glance
  D MajorD              A augmentedA         D MajorD
My life might be in danger, I thought I'd take a chance

C majorC             D MajorD
Hair black as a raven and eyes full of fire
C majorC            D MajorD       A augmentedA
Voice soft as a whisper filled me with desire
D MajorD                 G+G
Captured by her charm, like a man possessed
 D MajorD            A augmentedA     D MajorD  C majorC G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
I fell for the girl in the red satin dress

G+G             D MajorD
I crept to a room at the top of the stairs
                      A augmentedA
I could smell her perfume, I knew she was there
C majorC              D MajorD       G+G
But when I stepped inside I faced another man
D MajorD            A augmentedA        D MajorD
She came from behind, my knife was in her hand

D MajorD
I don't know what happened, my head was spinnin' 'round
                         A augmentedA
I heard a soft voice whisper and stumbled to the ground
C majorC           D MajorD         G+G
I saw a man lyin' , my knife deep in his chest
  D MajorD            A augmentedA     D MajorD
And gone was the girl in the red satin dress

BREAK
C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD

G+G             D MajorD
Standin' in the courtroom, starin' at each face
                     A augmentedA
Lookin' there for mercy, but can't find a trace
C majorC              D MajorD        G+G
They don't believe my story, time's run out I guess
D MajorD             A augmentedA     D MajorD   C majorC FF G+G D MajorD C majorC ?
No one's seen a girl in a red satin dress

G+G               D MajorD
It's a long, long walk to the top of the stairs
                     A augmentedA
At the top I'll stretch a rope and nobody cares
C majorC                   D MajorD       G+G
There's no one here to mourn when they lay me down to rest
D MajorD            A augmentedA     D MajorD
All for the girl in the red satin dress

C majorC             D MajorD
Hair black as a raven and eyes full of fire
C majorC            D MajorD       A augmentedA
Voice soft as a whisper filled me with desire
D MajorD                 G+G
Captured by her charm, like a man possessed
  D MajorD            A augmentedA     D MajorD
I fell for the girl in the red satin dress

D MajorD                    G+G   G+G FF D MajorD
