	Well Loretta she's my	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

Well Loretta won't you say to me

Darlin' put your guitar on

Have a little shot of booze

Play a blue and wailin' song

My guitar rings a melody

My guitar sings "Loretta's fine"

Long and lazy, blond and free

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

Keep your dancin' slippers on

Keep me on your mind a while

I'll be back babe, to make you smile.

repeat 1st & 2nd verse, 2nd verse last line twice, end

There's a different version of this verse on some records:

Loretta I won't be gone long

Keep your dancin' slippers on

Keep me on your mind a while

I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home.

And between each pair of verses Townes plays a simple bass run twice:

|-----------------0----
|-----------------0----
|-----------------1----
|------2-2-h4-2---2----
|-2-h4----------4-2----
|-----------------0----

Enjoy !
