Dance Hall Girls

================

by: Tom Russell

written by: Fraser & DeBolt

C G C

These dance hall girls, they'll treat you kind

C F C

They'll give you their bodies, but you'll never touch their minds

F C F Em F

They'll fill you up, with lipstick lies

F C

Then they'll put you down son

G Am D

Don't be surprised

D C G F C G C

Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?

C G C

I held her mountains, I kissed her plains

C F C

I touched her sunshine, Lord then I drank her rains

F C F Em F

But I went too far, I broke too fast

F C

I thought I had a winner picked

G Am D

But I came in last, again

D C G F C G C

Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?

Refrain:

Em F C

I must have chosen the wrong season to come down

Em F G

I never realized they call this sacred ground

G C G C

My sense of time, hell I'm a week behind

C F C

I sent a letter home, but this all takes time you know

F C F Em F

I gotta get some money, I wanna go back home

F C

But these dance hall girls

C G Am D

Know how to make a man feel alone

D C G F C G C

Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?

Solo: Play through one verse

Repeat Refrain

G C G C

My sense of time, hell I'm a week behind

C F C

They'll give you their bodies, but you'll never touch their minds

F C F Em F

They'll fill you up, with lipstick lies

F C

These dance hall girls say

G Am D

They can't stand to see a grown man cry

D C G F

Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?

F C G F

Is this the way it always is here in Montreal?

F C G F C G

Is this the way it always is here in Baltimore?
