John Prine - Spanish Pipedream guitar chord

BY John Prine

Song : Spanish Pipedream (Mod.)

G C

She was a level headed dancer on the road to alcohol

D7 D6noA/D+/D6noA

And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal

G C

Well she pressed her chest against me about the time the juke box broke

D7

Yeah, she give me a peck on the back of my neck and these are the words

G

she spoke

(CHORUS)

G D7

Blow up your T.V., throw away your paper, go to the country

G

build you a home, plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches

D7 G Am7/D G

Try and find Jesus on your own

G C

Well I sat there at the table and I acted real naive

D7 D6noA D+

For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve

C

Well she danced around the bar room and she did the hootchy coo

D7 G

Yeah, she sang her song all night long telling me what to do (chorus)

G C

Well I was young and hungry and about to leave that place

D7 D6noA D+ G

When just as I was leaving well she looked me in the face

C

I said “you must know the answer” she said “no but I’ll give it a try”

D7 G

And to this very day we been living our way here is the reason why

G D7

We blew up our T.V., threw away our paper, went to the country

G

built us a home. Had a lot of children fed them on peaches

D7 G D7 G C/D G

They all found Jesus on their own
