Dance Hall Girls Tom Russell
These dance hall [C]girls,[G] they'll treat you [C]kind
[C]They'll give you their bodies, but [F]you'll never touch their [C]minds
They'll [F]fill you [C]up, [F] with lipstick [Em]lies[F]
[F]Then they'll put you do[C]wn son
[G]Don't be surp[Am]rised[D]
[D]Is this the [C]way it always [G]is here in Baltim[F]ore?[C] [G] [C]
[C]I held her mountains,[G] I kissed her [C]plains
[C]I touched her sunshine, [F]Lord then I drank her [C]rains
But I [F]went too [C]far,[F] I broke too [Em]fast[F]
[F]I thought I had a w[C]inner picked
[G]But I came in [Am]last, a[D]gain
[D]Is this the [C]way it always [G]is here in Baltim[F]ore?[C] [G] [C]
Refrain:
[Em]I must have chosen the wrong [F]season to come [C]down
[Em]I never realized they [F]call this sacred [G]ground
[G]My sense of [C]time, [G]hell I'm a week beh[C]ind
[C]I sent a letter home,[F] but this all takes [C]time you know
I gotta [F]get some [C]money,[F] I wanna go back [Em]home[F]
[F]But these dance hall [C]girls
[C]Know how to [G]make a man feel [Am]alone[D]
[D]Is this the [C]way it always [G]is here in Baltim[F]ore?[C] [G] [C]
Solo: Play through one verse
Repeat Refrain
[G]My sense of [C]time, [G]hell I'm a week beh[C]ind
[C]They'll give you their bodies, but [F]you'll never touch their [C]minds
They'll [F]fill you [C]up, [F] with lipstick [Em]lies[F]
[F]These dance hall [C]girls say
They [G]can't stand to see a [Am]grown man c[D]ry
[D]Is this the [C]way it always [G]is here in Balti[F]more?
[F]Is this the [C]way it always [G]is here in Montr[F]eal?
[F]Is this the [C]way it always [G]is here in Balti[F]more?[C] [G]
[F] [C] [G] [F] [C] [G] [C]
