C                           F             C
It was June or September, I don't rightly remember
                 G7           C
The first time I laid eyes on you
                          F          C
It was June or September, Seattle or Denver
                 G7           C
The first time I laid eyes on you


[Verse 2]
                                       F             C
You wore black sliver stockings with a seam down the back
               G7            C
Your dress was split to your thighs
                                F         C
And your hair was a place for a dozen red roses
         G7             C
After it smothered your side


[Verse 3]
                                F         C
And you dealt in the card games in smokey saloons
            G7          C
Haunted you saw the sun rise
                             F              C
But as soon as I leave you I looked to your photograph
                G7            C
Teardrops would swell in your eyes


[Verse 4]
                                     F               C
There were three tiny daughters that lived with your mother
         G7           C
You only wanted their best
                                F               C
But you could not give them the things that you wanted to
         G7           C
You only wanted their best


[Verse 5]
C                           F             C
It was June or September, I don't rightly remember
                 G7           C
The first time I laid eyes on you
                          F          C
It was June or September, Seattle or Denver
                G7           C
The last time I laid eyes on you
