Chords

Originally recorded by Gram Parsons but this version is lovely. Probably played in open chords, transposed sounds good
F#m B E       F#m            B                E
        Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes

     F#m            B                E
Warm evenings, pale mornings, bottle blues

        G#m         E             A              F#m
And the tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair

      F#m            B                E
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes

F#m         B               E
My mind was young until she grew

F#m                      B         E
My secret thoughts known only by a few

         G#m            E          A                  F#m
It was a dream much too real to be leaned against too long

F#m         B                E
    All the time I think she knew

F#m             B               E
Her words still dance inside my head

F#m            B              E
Her comb still lies beside my bed

        G#m             E                 A                  F#m
And the sun comes up without her, it just doesn't know she's gone

F#m            B              E
But I remember everything she said

      F#m            B                E
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes

     F#m            B                E
Warm evenings, pale mornings, bottle blues

        G#m         E             A              F#m
And the tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair

      F#m            B                E    F#m B E 
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
