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

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
