She hEides in the attic concealed on a shelf
BEehind volumes of literature based on herself
AEnd runs across the pages like some tiny elf
KG#mnowing that it's hard to find
SF#mtuff way back in her mind
WG#minds up spending all of her time
TF#mrying to memorize every line
Sweet LEorraineA ahE sweAet LorEraine A E A
Sweet lEady of death wants me to die
SEo she can come sit by my bedside and sigh
AEnd wipe away the tears from all my friends eyes
And tG#mhen softly she will explain
Just eF#mxactly who was to blame
For cG#mausing me to go insane
And fF#minally blow out my brains
Sweet LEorraineA ahE sweAet LorEraine A E A
Well you kEnow that it's a shame and a pity
You were rDaised up in the city
And you nEever learned nDothing 'bout country wEays A ah E'bouAt country wayEs A E
The jEoy of life she dresses in black
WEith celestial secrets engraved in her back
AEnd her face keeps flashing that she's got the knack
But you kG#mnow when you look into her eyes
AF#mll she's learned she's had to memorize
And the oG#mnly way you'll ever get her high
Is to lF#met her do her thing and then watch you die
Sweet LEorraineA ahE sweAet LorEraine A E A
Now sEhe's the one who gives us all those magical things
AEnd reads us stories out of the I Ching
TEhen she passes out a whole new basket of rings
TG#mhat when you put on your hand
Makes you oF#mne of the Angel Band
And gG#mives you the power to be a man
But wF#mhat it does for her you never quite understand
Sweet LEorraineA ahE sweAet LorEraine A E A
Well you kEnow that it's a shame and a pity
You were rDaised up in the city
And you nEever learned nDothing 'bout country wEays A
OEh 'bout cAountry wEays oh 'bout cAountry wEays A
YEeah about cAountry wEays oh cAountry wEays ...A
