[Intro] G D D7 [Verse 1]
           G
Well, the night came undone like a party dress

                                     D
And fell at her feet in a beautiful mess

     G                                      C
The smoke and the whiskey came home in her curls

                             G           D      G
And they crept through the dreams of the barroom girls
[Verse 2]
           G
Well, she tosses and turns 'cause the sun is unkind

                                                  D
And the heat of the day is coming in through the blinds

G                                             C
Leave all the blue skies for the rest of the world

                  G            D      G
'Cause the neon shines for the barroom girls
[Bridge]
    D                G
The barroom girls go by your side

         A7                   D
Like the ponies you pass on a carousel ride

    G                                C
And all of the colors go round in a swirl

                       G          D       G
When you dance in the arms of the barroom girls
[Verse 3]
         G
Now she rolls to her feet 'cause she can't sleep no more

                                            D
And looks at the clothes laying out on the floor

G                                     C
Last night's spangles and yesterday's pearls

                       G            D      G
Are the bright morning stars of the barroom girls

G                                     C
Last night's spangles and yesterday's pearls

                       G            D       G
Are the bright morning stars of the barroom girls
