Josh Ritter – Loretta (Guitar)

-------------

E                    A       E
Well Loretta she's a barroom girl

A                        E
Wears them sevens on her sleeves

E             A       E
Dances like a diamond shines

A                       E
Tells me lies I love to b'lieve

B7
Her age is always twenty two

    A                     E
Her laughin' eyes a hazel hue

E                    A     E
Spends my money like water falls

A                        E
Loves me like I want her to

A                        E
Loves me like I want her to

Well Loretta won't you say to me Darlin' put your guitar on Have another shot of booze Play a blue and wailin' song My guitar sings a melody My guitar rings "Loretta's fine" Long and lazy, blond and free And I can have her any time I can have her any time Sweetest at the break a day Prettiest in the setting sun She don't cry when I can't stay 'Least not 'til she's all alone Loretta I won't be gone long Leave your dancin' slippers on Keep me on your mind a while I'll be back to make you smile. I'll be back to make you smile I'll be back to make you smile I'll be back...
