CAPO 5 

          F
Well the night came undone like a party dress
                           G  
And fell at her feet in a beautiful mess
      F                                 F
The smoke and whisky came home in her curls
                        F           G        F
And crept through the dreams of the barroom girls


       F
She tosses and turns 'cause the sun is unkind
                                   G
And the heat of the day is coming in through the blinds
 F                                             F
Save all your blue skies for the rest of the world
                  F             G         F
'Cause the neon shines for the barrooms girls

     G               F
The barroom girls go by your side
          D                    G
Like the ponies you pass on a carousel ride
     F                                 F
And all of the colours go round in a swirl
                       F           G        F
When you dance in the arms of the barroom girls

          F
Now she rolls to her feet 'cause she can't sleep no more
                                 G
And looks at the clothes laying out on the floor
 F                                      F
Last night's spangles and yesterday's pearls
                         F           G        F  
Are the bright morning stars of the barroom girls
