Loretta chords by Townes Van Zandt

Here's another Townes Van Zandt song for you, the chords are simple, but
it's taken me a lot of practice to get the rthymns right. And if you pick
up the tempo just a little bit and really pound the chords, it's a real
rocker.

Loretta
Townes Van Zandt

E                     A       E
Well Loretta she's ...
A                        E
Wears them sevens ...
E             A       E
Dances like a ...
A                       E
Tells me lies I ...

B7
Her age is ...
    A                     E
Her laughin' ...
E                    A     E
Spends my money ...
A                        E
Loves me like I ...


repeat 1st & 2nd verse, 2nd verse last line twice, end


There's a different version of this verse on some records:

Loretta I won't be ....


And between each pair of verses Townes plays a simple bass run twice:

  E    A          E
