The Decemberists – The Cap Street Girls (Guitar)

        G
Oh, the Cap Street Girls

           C                Am
With their pretty curls and bows

        G                     Em     C
And the lonely light in their eyes

      G
How I long to lie

     C                Am
On a Summer's day, in there

       G           D   C      G     C    G
In the arms of the Cap Street Girls

           Am
When I was young, I had thought

             C
They're just pretty painted ladies

G                      F             C
Waving fans from their chaise lounge divans

            Am
Then I grew old and I learned

       C
of the pleasures that were waiting in their

G               F                  C
powdered bosoms bottomless; it was torture for a man

          Cm          D            C   D      G      C   G
should he land in the hands of the Cap Street Girls

        G
Oh, the Cap Street Girls

           C                Am
With their pretty curls and bows

        G                     Em     C
And the lonely light in their eyes

      G
How I long to lie

     C                  Am
On a Summer's night, in there

       G           D   C      G
In the arms of the Cap Street Girls

              Am
Then came the day when they came

   C
To tear down all the buildings

G                  F                C
Making way for the Cap Street thoroughfare

            Am
And all the girls disappeared

   C
To Woolworth's and to Hennessy's

G                   F                      C
Selling clothes and panty-hoes; how all it all just slipped away!

            Cm            D           C   D      G       C    G
But still I crave for the days of the Cap Street Girls

        G
Oh, the Cap Street Girls

           C                Am
With their pretty curls and bows

        G                     Em     C
And the lonely light in their eyes

      G
How I long to lie

     C                  Am
On a Summer's night, in there

       G           D   C      G
In the arms of the Cap Street Girls

        D   C      G
Oh, the cap street girls

        D   C      G
Oh, the cap street girls

        D   C      G
Oh, the cap street girls

        D   C      G
Oh, the cap street girls
