[VERSE 1]
Oh Lor[G]etta she's a b[C]arroom g[G]irl w[C]ears them sevens on her sl[G]eeve
Dances like a d[C]iamond sh[G]ines t[C]ells me lies I love to bel[G]ieve
Her [D]age is always 22 her la[C]ughing eyes a hazel h[G]ue
Spends my money like w[C]ater f[G]alls l[C]oves me like I want her [G]to

[VERSE 2]
Oh, Lor[G]etta, won't you s[C]ay to m[G]e, d[C]arling put your guitar [G]on
Have a little sh[C]ot of b[G]ooze pl[C]ay a blue and a wailing s[G]ong
My g[D]uitar rings a melody my g[C]uitar sings, Loretta's f[G]ine
Long and lazy, bl[C]onde and fr[G]ee and [C]I can have her any t[G]ime

She don't cry when [C]I can’t[G] stay [C]'least not till she's all [G]alone
Lor[D]etta, I won’t be gone long [C]keep your dancing slipper[G]s on
Keep me on your m[C]ind a wh[G]ile, c[C]omin' home, I’m comin'[G] home

Oh Lor[G]etta she’s a[C] barroom[G] girl[C] wears them sevens on her [G]sleeve
Dances like a d[C]iamond sh[G]ines t[C]ells me lies I love to bel[G]ieve
Her [D]age is always 22 her la[C]ughing eyes a hazel h[G]ue
Spends my money like w[C]ater f[G]alls l[C]oves me like I want her [G]to
