Lolene (CHORDS) by Marty Robins

[INTRO]~
E A E


E                A       E
When but a boy I courted Sally,.. my life

                   Dbm
was young not quite sixteen!

  E         A                  E
We talked of things I sometimes dreamed of

          A                 E
and things beyond my wildest dreams!


            A     E
At seventeen I met Wynonna,.. her warm red

            Dbm
lips set me aglow!

   E         A                     E
She taught me things she should not teach me,..

           A                  E
more than a young man ought to know!


                    A        E
At nineteen years my love was Sarah!!she was

                   Dbm
much older than the rest!

  E       A                E
Of all the men she said had kissed her,.. she

         A                E
loved the way I kissed her best!


[BRIDGE]~
        Dbm            E
Time has flown and I am older,.. my years are

Dbm             E
five and thirty-five!

             A                 E
Too late,.. too late,.. I've met my lover,.. a woman

A         E
very much alive!


                    A       E
Lolene,.. Lolene,.. your name is music,.. your nearness

                  Dbm
makes my blood run wild!

E     A              E                      A
Alas,.. alas,.. I cannot claim you,.. compared to me

            E
you're but a child!


[OUTRO]~
E                   A       E
So,.. one last time I must be with you,.. and kiss

                         Dbm
the lips that thrilled my heart!

E        A                   E
And then goodbye,.. no more to see you,.. forever,..

A          E
we must be apart!
