[intro]
G#m F#m

[verse]
E
She hides in the attic concealed on a shelf
E
Behind volumes of literature based on herself
E
And runs across the pages like some tiny elf
G#m
Knowing that it's hard to find
F#m
Stuff way back in her mind
G#m
Winds up spending all of her time
F#m
Trying to memorize every line
E A E A E A E A
Sweet Lorraine ah sweet Lorraine

[verse]
E
Sweet lady of death wants me to die
E
So she can come sit by my bedside and sigh
E
And wipe away the tears from all my friends eyes
G#m
And then softly she will explain
F#m
Just exactly who was to blame
G#m
For causing me to go insane
F#m
And finally blow out my brains
E A E A E A E A
Sweet Lorraine ah sweet Lorraine

[bridge]
E
Well you know that it's a shame and a pity
D
You were raised up in the city
E D E A E A E
And you never learned nothing 'bout country ways ah 'bout country ways
A E

[verse]
E
The joy of life she dresses in black
E
With celestial secrets engraved in her back
E
And her face keeps flashing that she's got the knack
G#m
But you know when you look into her eyes
F#m
All she's learned she's had to memorize
G#m
And the only way you'll ever get her high
F#m
Is to let her do her thing and then watch you die
E A E A E A E A
Sweet Lorraine ah sweet Lorraine

[verse]
