Barroom Girls chords by Gillian Welch

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

G+G
Well the night came undone like a party dress
              D MajorD
And fell at her feet in a beautiful mess
   G+G                 C majorC
The smoke and whisky came home in her curls
            G+G      D MajorD    G+G
And crept through the dreams of the barroom girls


    G+G
She tosses and turns 'cause the sun is unkind
                  D MajorD
And the heat of the day is coming in through the blinds
 G+G                       C majorC
Save all your blue skies for the rest of the world
         G+G       D MajorD     G+G
'Cause the neon shines for the barrooms girls

   D MajorD        G+G
The barroom girls go by your side
     A augmentedA          D MajorD
Like the ponies you pass on a carousel ride
   G+G                 C majorC
And all of the colours go round in a swirl
            G+G      D MajorD    G+G
When you dance in the arms of the barroom girls

     G+G
Now she rolls to her feet 'cause she can't sleep no more
                 D MajorD
And looks at the clothes laying out on the floor
 G+G                   C majorC
Last night's spangles and yesterday's pearls
             G+G      D MajorD    G+G
