C/G                 F       C/G
Oh Loretta she's my barroom girl
F                        C/G
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
              F       C/G
Dances like a diamond shines
F                       C/G
Tells me lies I love to believe
G
Her age is always twenty-two
    F                      C/G
Her sparklin' eyes a hazel hue
                     F     C/G
Spends my money like water falls
F                        C/G
Loves me like I want her to
F                        C/G
Loves me like I want her to

Oh Loretta won't you say to me
F                         C/G
Darlin' strap your guitar on
              F       C/G
Have a little shot of booze
F                       C/G
Sing a blue and wailin' song
G
My guitar sings a melody
    F                      C/G
My guitar says "Loretta's fine"
                 F         C/G
Blonde and lazy, young and free
F                  C/G
I can have her any time
F                  C/G
I can have her any time

Sweetest at the break of day
F                        C/G
Prettiest in the setting sun
                   F       C/G
She don't cry when I can't stay
F                          C/G
Least not 'til she's all alone
G
Loretta I won't be gone long
   F                          C/G
So keep your dancin' slippers on
                 F     C/G
Keep me on your mind a while
F                            C/G
I'm coming home, I'm coming home.
