Dance Hall Girls ================ by: Tom Russell written by: Fraser & DeBolt
CGC These dance hall girls, they'll treat you kind CFC They'll give you their bodies, but you'll never touch their minds FCFEmF They'll fill you up, with lipstick lies FC Then they'll put you down son GAmD Don't be surprised DCGFCGC Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?
CGC I held her mountains, I kissed her plains CFC I touched her sunshine, Lord then I drank her rains FCFEmF But I went too far, I broke too fast FC I thought I had a winner picked GAmD But I came in last, again DCGFCGC Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?
Refrain:
EmFC I must have chosen the wrong season to come down EmFG I never realized they call this sacred ground
GCGC My sense of time, hell I'm a week behind CFC I sent a letter home, but this all takes time you know FCFEmF I gotta get some money, I wanna go back home FC But these dance hall girls CGAmD Know how to make a man feel alone DCGFCGC Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?
Solo: Play through one verse
Repeat Refrain
GCGC My sense of time, hell I'm a week behind CFC They'll give you their bodies, but you'll never touch their minds FCFEmF They'll fill you up, with lipstick lies FC These dance hall girls say GAmD They can't stand to see a grown man cry DCGF Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore? FCGF Is this the way it always is here in Montreal? FCGFCG Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?
