[Ab] [Db] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Eb] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Db] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab] Hilarietta, she [Db] is my [Ab] ballroom [Db] girl
Wears them [Db] sevens [Ab] on her sleeve
Dances [Db] like a [Ab] diamond [Db] shines
Tells me [Ab] lies I love to [Eb] do
Her age is always [Db] 22
Her laughing eyes are [Ab] hazel hue
Spends [Db] my money like [Db] waterfalls
Loves me [Ab] like I want her to
[Db]
[Ab] [Db] [Ab]
Oh, Loretta, won't [Db] you say [Ab] to me
[Db] Darling, [Ab] put your guitar on
Have a [Db] little [Ab] shot of [Db] booze
Play a [Ab] blue and wailing song
[Eb] My guitar rings a melody
[Db] My guitar sings [Ab] Loretta's fine
Long and [Db] lazy, blonde [Ab] and free
[Db] And I can have her any [Ab] [Db] time
[Ab] [Db]
[Ab] Oh, [Db] sweetest at the break [Db] of day
Prettiest in [Ab] the setting sun
She [Db] don't cry when I [Db] can't see
At least not till [Ab] she's all [Eb] alone
Loretta, I won't be [Db] gone long
Keep your [Ab] dancing slippers on
Keep [Db] me on your [Ab] mind
[Db] While I'm coming home, [Ab] I'm coming [Db] home
[Ab] [Db]

[Db] [Ab] [Db] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Db] [Ab]
Oh, Loretta, she's [Db] my [Ab] ballroom girl
[Db] Wears them sevens on [Ab] her sleeve
Dances like a diamond [Db] shines
Tells me lies I [Ab] love to [Eb] bleed
Her age is always 22
[Db] Her laughing eyes are [Ab] hazel hue
Spends my [Db] money like [Ab] [Db] waterfalls
Loves me like I [Ab] want her to
[Db] Loves me like I [Ab] want her [Db] to
Loves me like I [Ab] want her [Db] to
