Pretty Painted Ladies Chords & Lyrics - Bobby Bare

[VERSE 1]
By a [A]blackened wood stove in a [D]rundown old [A]bunkhouse
Sat an [A]old buckaroo with his hat in his [E]hand
He [D]lowered his voice as he [A]told us about 'em
The [A]wild western women that [E]wore no man’s [A]brand

[VERSE 2]
[A]He remembered how they'd [D]drive you plum [A]crazy
[A]Dancin' for nickels 'neath the barrooms oil [E]lights
We'd [D]come off the trail they'd [A]be waitin' for us
[A]Pretty painted ladies in [E]dresses so [A]bright

[CHORUS]
[D]Where are all the [A]pretty painted ladies
[E]Where's all my dance hall [A]gals
[D]Where are you Lil are you [A]still young and [F#m]pretty
And a [A]waitin' for me at the [E]end of my [A]trail

[VERSE 3]
[A]Slowly they'd swirl with the [D]ranchers and [A]wranglers
While the [A]piano played on into the [E]night
Just a [D]kickin' their skirts past the [A]lonely rawhiders
[A]Pretty painted ladies I [E]miss you to[A]night

[VERSE 4]
I told the old [D]timer they[A] moved off a long time ago
There ain't no more pretty Lil old man[E] no Buffalo Sal [D]
He said son[A] some nights I can see 'em
Just a singin' and a dancin' at the [E]end of my trail [A]

[CHORUS]
Oh [D]where are all the [A]pretty painted ladies
[E]Where's all my dance hall [A]gals
[D]Where are you Lil are you [A]still young and [F#m]pretty
Just a [A]waitin' for me at the [E]end of my [A]trail
