Red Satin Dress Cherryholmes
Intro G F G D A D
[G]Five lonely days [D]when I rode into town
Down from the mines to lay some money [A]down
[C]Stopped at a tavern they c[D]alled “The Sweet [G]Princess”
[D]There I met the girl in the [A]red satin [D]dress
[D]Her gown shimmered scarlet as she walked across the room
I could see her soft skin and smell her sweet [A]perfume
[C]Her eyes flashed with lightning, she [D]beckoned with a [G]glance
My [D]life might be in danger, I t[A]hought I'd take a [D]chance
[C]Hair black as a raven and [D]eyes full of fire
[C]Voice soft as a whisper f[D]illed me with d[A]esire
[D]Captured by her charm, like a man [G]possessed
I [D]fell for the girl in the[A] red satin[D] dres[C]s[G] [D] [A] [D]
[G]I crept to a room at the t[D]op of the stairs
I could smell her perfume, I knew she was t[A]here
[C]But when I stepped inside I [D]faced another [G]man
[D]She came from behind, my [A]knife was in her [D]hand
[D]I don't know what happened, my head was spinnin' 'round
I heard a soft voice whisper and stumbled to the [A]ground
[C]I saw a man lyin' , my [D]knife deep in his [G]chest
And [D]gone was the girl in the [A]red satin [D]dress
(BREAK) C D C D A D G D A D
[G]Standin' in the courtroom, [D]starin' at each face
Lookin' there for mercy, but can't find a [A]trace
[C]They don't believe my story, [D]time's run out I [G]guess
D A D C F G D C ?
No one's seen a girl in a red satin dress
[G]It's a long, long walk to the [D]top of the stairs
At the top I'll stretch a rope and nobody [A]cares
[C]There's no one here to mourn when they [D]lay me down to [G]rest
[D]All for the girl in the [A]red satin [D]dress
[C]Hair black as a raven and [D]eyes full of fire
[C]Voice soft as a whisper f[D]illed me with d[A]esire
[D]Captured by her charm, like a man [G]possessed
I f[D]ell for the girl in the [A]red satin [D]dress
[D]Don't fall for the girl in the red satin [G]dress[G] [F] [D]
