Chords for Patches - Dickie Lee (Lyrics)

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Db] Down by the river that [Gb] flows by the coal yards Stand wooden houses _ [Gb] with shutters torn [Ab]
down
[Db] There _ [Fm] lives a girl [Gb] everybody _ [Db] calls Patches _ Patches, my darling, [Ab] of _ [Db] O'Shannity Town
[A] _ _ _ [D]
We planned to marry [G] when June brought [D] the summer _ I couldn't wait to [G] make Patches [A] my bride
_ [D]
Now I [Gbm] don't see how [G] that ever [D] can happen _ My folks say no and [A] my heart breaks [D] inside _ _
_ _ _ Patches, [A] oh what can I do?
_ [G] _
I swear [D] I'll always love you
But [G] a girl from that place will [D] just bring me [Bm] displace So [D]
my folks [G] won't let me [D] love you
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb]
Each night I cry as [Ab] I think of that shanty And pretty _ Patches there [Ab] _
watchin' the [Bb] door
_ [Eb] She _ [Gm] doesn't know that I [Ab]
can't come to [Eb] see her _ Patches must think that I [Bb]
love her [Eb] no more
_ [B] _
_ _ [E] I hear a neighbor _ [A] _ tellin' [E] my father He says a girl [A] named Patches [B] was found
_ [E] _ Floating face down that [A] dirty [E] old river That flows by the coal yards [B] in _ [E] O'Shannity Town _ _ _ _ _
Patches, [B] oh what can I do?
_ [A] I swear _ [E] I'll always love you
[A] It may not be right, [E] but I'll join you [Dbm] _
tonight [E] _ _ Patches, I'm yours
[A] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
