CAPO 3

INTRO:  G  Cadd9  D  Dsus4 2x 

VERSE:
         G         Cadd9        D                Dsus4        
Sweet Lorraine the fiery haired brown eyed schemer
    G           Cadd9        D                  Dsus4   
Who came from a long line of drinkers and dreamers
    G         Cadd9          D               Dsus4
Who knew that sunshine don't hold up to dark
      G          Cadd9    D                Dsus4   
Whose businesses fail who sleep in the park
   G          Cadd9    D                  Dsus4
Lo-rraine who spoke of paintings in Paris
    G          Cadd9         D                       Dsus4
And outlandish things to her family just to scare us
      G          Cadd9        D                       Dsus4 
Whose heart went pokin' where it shouldn't ought
      Cadd9              G           D
whose mother could only, spit at the thought
   Cadd9        G       Cadd9  D Dsus4   G   Cadd9   D
Lorraine, sweet Lorraine
