[Intro]
Dsus4 G C9 D Dsus4 G C9 D

Dsus4 G C9 D
Sweet Lor raine the fiery head brown eyed schemer

who came from a long line of drinkers and dreamers

who knew that sunshine don?t hold up to dark

whose businesses fail who sleep in the park

Lor raine who spoke of paintings in Paris

and outlandish things to her family just to scare us

whose heart went pokin? where it shouldn?t ought

C9 G D
whose mother could only, spit at the thought

C9 Dsus4 G C9 D Dsus4 G C9 D
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine


Dsus4 G C9 D
Her father would tear out like a page of the Bible

then he?d burn down the house to announce his arrival

her mother was working and never was home

Lor raine carved out a little life of her own



Dsus4 G C9 D
Lor raine started working, Lorraine went to school

her mother threw stones at her on the day that she moved

now isn?t that a very strange thing to do

C9 G D
for someone who never really wanted you

C9 Dsus4 G C9 D
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine


Am C
Her daddy called her a slut and a whore
G D Am
on the night before her wedding day
C
the very next morning, at the church
D C9
her daddy gave, Lorraine away, Lorraine away
Dsus4 G
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine


Dsus4 G C9 D
In the battle of time, in the battle of will

it?s only your hope and your heart that gets killed

and it?s harder and harder Lorraine, to believe in magic
C9

C9 G D
when what came before you was so very tragic
C9 Dsus4 G
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine

Dsus4 G C9 D Dsus4 G C9 D
Sweet Lorraine

----repeats, fades out on D
