Irene

F
She came from this place

Such a pretty face
                       Bb
And she danced to the radio
F
She could sing a song

The boys came along
                               Bb
She didn't know how to just say no
Gm                  C            
There's gonna be a tall, dark man
     Gm
 to wed
                   C               
There's gonna be a cold, hard truth
  Bb
 instead


Chorus 1

              F               C
She's waving goodbye to seventeen
Bb      F            C
From a long, white limousine
Am                                 
Some dreams are in the air some are
Bb
 seen
F
Irene

But couldn't settle down
                             Bb
They played her songs on the radio
F
But she partied late

And she made them wait
                      Bb
It's all there on the video
Gm                C              
There's gonna be a long bus ride 
Gm
ahead
                      C            
There's gonna be some cold hotel in
  Bb
 bed


Chorus 2

              F                C
She's waving goodbye to twenty-three
Bb        F           C
From deep inside the machine
Am                                
Some hands are in the dirt some 
  Bb
are clean

Verse 3

F
Well she fell so hard

And her kids looked on
                           Bb
She passed on to the other side
F
It went downhill fast

You know nothing lasts
I heard her song on a late night 
Bb
drive
Gm                C              
Shoulda been some bright, blue 
    Gm
skies ahead
                      C         
There's gonna be some cold, hard 
        Bb
ground instead


Chorus 3

              F                C
She's waving goodbye to thirty-three
Bb       F          C
From a long, black limousine
Am                               
Life's just as kind to you as it is 
Bb
mean
F
