Brass Buttons

A     Bm             E     
Brass buttons, green silks and 
            A
silver shoes
     Bm             E       
Warm evenings, pale mornings, 
          D D/C# A
bottled blues
A               A7            D 
And tiny golden pins that she 
      D          D/C#
wore up in her hair
      Bm             E       
Brass buttons, green silks and 
          A
silver shoes

[Verse 1]
Bm          E                  A
My mind was young and then it grew
Bm                E         D D/C# A
My thoughts known only by a few
Continues after the ad
A                A7         D   
A dream much too real to be 
                    D/C#
leaned against too long
Bm          E                 A
And all the time I guess she knew

[Solo]

[Verse 2]
Bm                 E              
Her thoughts still dance inside my 
 A
head
Bm             E              D 
Her comb still lies beside my 
D/C#  A
bed
                      A7           
But the sun comes up without her, 
  D                     D/C#
it doesn't know she's gone
Bm               E                
And it remembers nothing that she 
A
said

[Chorus]
      Bm             E       
Brass buttons, green silks and 
         A
silver shoes
     Bm             E       
Warm evenings, pale mornings, 
         D   A
bottled blues
A               A7            D 
And tiny golden pins that she 
                   D/C#
wore up in her hair
      Bm              E      
Brass buttons, green silks and 
          A
silver shoes
