      G             C       G    C                         G 
Oh Loretta she's a barroom girl wears them sevens on her sleeve 
               C        G     C                         G 
Dances like a diamond shines tells me lies I love to believe 
    D                      C                    G 
Her age is always 22 her laughing eyes a hazel hue

    D                        C                       G 
My guitar rings a melody my guitar sings, Loretta's fine

                   C        G     C                         G 
She don't cry when I can't stay 'least not till she's all alone

Dances like a diamond shines tells me lies I love to believe 
    D                      C                    G 
Her age is always 22 her laughing eyes a hazel hue 
                      C     G     C                       G 
Spends my money like water falls loves me like I want her to
