Five lonely days when I rode into 
town
Down from the mines to lay some 
      A
money down
C                         D      
Stopped at a tavern they called 
          G
?The Sweet Princess?
D                           A
There I met the girl in the red 
         D

D
Her gown shimmered scarlet as she 
walked across the room
I could see her soft skin and smell 
          A
her sweet perfume
C                                 
Her eyes flashed with lightning, 
   D               G
she beckoned with a glance
   D                         
My life might be in danger, I 
  A                 D
thought I'd take a chance


C                         D
Hair black as a raven and eyes full 
of fire
C                        D       
Voice soft as a whisper filled me
       A
 with desire
D                                 
Captured by her charm, like a man 
G
possessed

I crept to a room at the top of the 
stairs
I could smell her perfume, I knew 
         A
she was there
C                           D    
But when I stepped inside I faced
         G
 another man
D                        A       
She came from behind, my knife 
         D
was in her hand

D
I don't know what happened, my head 
was spinnin' 'round
I heard a soft voice whisper and 
                A
stumbled to the ground
C                      D         
I saw a man lyin' , my knife deep
        G
 in his chest
    D                        A 
And gone was the girl in the red

G                          D
Standin' in the courtroom, starin' 
at each face
Lookin' there for mercy, but can't 
       A
find a trace
C                            D   
They don't believe my story, 
             G
time's run out I guess
D                         A      
No one's seen a girl in a red

It's a long, long walk to the top of
 the stairs
At the top I'll stretch a rope and 
       A
nobody cares
C                                 
There's no one here to mourn when 
     D              G
they lay me down to rest
D                       A         
All for the girl in the red satin
