  BARROOM GIRLS by Gillian Welch & David Rawlings

  >From the album: Revival     Produced by T-Bone Burnett 1996 Almo Sounds Inc.

  Song is in key of C   

  

         C

  Oh the night came undone like a party dress

                          *(c   b a ) G

  And fell at her feet in a beautiful mess

      C                         (c    d  e)  F

  The smoke and the whiskey came home in her curls

          (f     g       a)  C             G       C

  And they crept through the dreams of the barroom girls

  

  Well she tosses turns because the sun is unkind 

  And the heat of the day is coming in thru the blinds

  But leave all the blue skies for the rest of the world

  Because the neon will shine for the barroom girls

  

         G                C                 

  Oh the barroom girls go by your side

           D                    G

  Like the ponies who pass on a carousel ride

      C                 (c     d e) F

  And all the colors go 'round in a swirl

          (f     g  a)  C           G       C

  When you dance in the arms of the barroom girls

  

  (Instmental Chorus)

  

  Now she rolls to her feet when she can't sleep no more

  And looks at her clothes lying out on the floor

  Last night's spangles and yesterday's pearls

  Are the bright morning stars of the barroom girls

  Last night's spangles and yesterday's pearls

  Are the bright morning stars of the barroom girls

  

  *(c   b  a) and others are "walk up" or "walk down" notes

  Now it sounds to me that the guitar(s) on the album play with a capo

  on the 5th fret and that the chords are played as follows;

  

       C      G       F       D    

  ]--5-8-|--5-7--|--5----|--5------

  ]--C---|--C-8--|--C-6--|--C-7----

  ]--A---|--A-7--|--A----|--A-7----

  ]--P---|--P----|--P-7--|--P-7----

  ]--O-7-|--O----|--O-8--|--O------

  ]--5-8-|--5----|--5----|--5------

      (G)    (D)     (C)     (A)    Hand positions

  

  Intro. (as close as I can figure)
