A Bm E A
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
Bm E D D/C# A
Warm evenings, pale mornings, bottled blues
A A7 D D D/C#
And tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair
Bm E A
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
Bm E A
My mind was young and then it grew
Bm E D D/C# A
My thoughts known only by a few
A A7 D D/C#
A dream much too real to be leaned against too long
Bm E A
And all the time I guess she knew
SOLO
Bm E A
Her thoughts still dance inside my head
Bm E D D/C# A
Her comb still lies beside my bed
A7 D D/C#
But the sun comes up without her, it doesn't know she's gone
Bm E A
And it remembers nothing that she said
Bm E A
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
Bm E D A
Warm evenings, pale mornings, bottled blues
A A7 D D/C#
And tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair
Bm E A
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes
