TWO GIRLS
by Townes Van Zandt
(Live at The Old Quarter)
My version's just a little different from the previous version:
Standard tuning
Capo 3
*Townes does a bunch of hammer on's and off's throughout, especially on C, Am and Dm.
[Intro]
with a bunch of hammer on's:
C Dm C C
[VERSE]
C Dm
Well the clouds didn't look like cotton,
G F C
they didn't even look like clouds.
C Dm
I was underneath the weather,
G F C
and my friends looked like a crowd.
Am Dm
The swimmin hole was full of rum,
F C
I tried to find out why.
C Dm
All I learned was this my friend,
G F C
you've got to swim before you fly.
[CHORUS]
F C
I've got two girls,
Am Dm
one's in heaven, one's below.
Am Dm
Oh one I love with all my heart,
G F C
and one I do not know.
[VERSE]
C Dm
Two lonesome dudes on an ugly horse,
G F C
passed by not long ago.
C Dm
They asked me where the action was,
G F C
I said I did not know.
Am Dm
And as they disappeared into the brush,
F C
I heard the driver say.
C Dm
He's a little slow between the ears,
G F C
he's always been that way.
[CHORUS]
F C
I've got two girls,
Am Dm
one's in heaven, one's below.
Am Dm
Oh one I love with all my heart,
G F C
and one I do not know.
[VERSE]
C Dm
Jolly Jane just lays around
G F C
and listens with her mouth.
C Dm
She's had about a dozen husbands,
G F C
but the last one just pulled out.
Am Dm
Now who's gonna bring her dinner,
F C
through the weary years ahead?
C Dm
All she'll get from me is sympathy,
G F C
got no time to see she's fed.
[CHORUS]
F C
I've got two girls,
Am Dm
one's in heaven, one's below.
Am Dm
Oh one I love with all my heart,
G F C
and one I do not know.
[VERSE]
C Dm
Now cold down on the bayou,
G F C
they say it's in your mind.
C Dm
But the moccasins are treadin' ice,
G F C
and leavin' strange designs.
Am Dm
Cajuns say the last time,
F C
this happened they weren't here.
C Dm
All Beaumont's full of penguins,
G F C
and I'm a playin' it by ear.
[CHORUS]
F C
I've got two girls,
Am Dm
one's in heaven, one's below.
Am Dm
Oh one I love with all my heart,
G F C
and one I do not know.
