Written by Ruby Rakes

Key of A · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

      A
She’s there at the bar every evening
     A                   E
Face powdered and cheeks painted red
    E      A
Her beauty has faded too early
        A     E             A     A7
Brought on by the fast life she’s led

Chorus

      A    D            A
She’s more to be pitied than scolded
    A                 E
She needs to be loved not despised
    E         A         D        A
Too much beer and wine, too many good times
    A           E                      A
The lure of the honky-tonk wrecked her young life

Verse 2

    A
She once was the belle of the ballroom
      A                 E     E7
She’d a made some man a sweet wife
    E   A
But too many parties, the wrong side of town
       A   E7    A
Ruined her happy young life
