Loretta chords by Townes Van Zandt

Chords with lyrics

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

E MajorE           A augmentedA    E MajorE
Well Loretta she's ...
A augmentedA            E MajorE
Wears them sevens ...
E MajorE       A augmentedA    E MajorE
Dances like a ...
A augmentedA            E MajorE
Tells me lies I ...

B7B7
Her age is ...
  A augmentedA           E MajorE
Her laughin' ...
E MajorE          A augmentedA   E MajorE
Spends my money ...
A augmentedA            E MajorE
Loves me like I ...

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 ....


And between each pair of verses Townes plays a simple bass run twice:

 E MajorE  A augmentedA     E MajorE
